HibeeJibee Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 HJ, you might know off hand and I cannae mind where I posted it eons ago.... Plenty of Scottish clubs entered the En@lish FA Cup too, and most of them died.......Rangers , Hearts, Gretna, Third Lanark, Cowlairs, Renton off the top of my head. QP and Thistle also entered but live. Any get close to an FA Cup double? Queen's Park were FA Cup runners-up and Scottish Cup winners in 1884. Scottish clubs often scratched as soon as they got an away draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Scottish clubs often scratched as soon as they got an away draw.Was this not common for a lot of clubs, English included, for all but the biggest clubs progress in the early rounds being basically whoever was drawn at home?

No idea. Btw, Cardiff won the FA Cup and Welsh Cup in 1927. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 It's not strange, you're just thick. The treble is the premiership title, league cup and Scottish cup. Us bears know what winning the treble is. We have won 7 trebles, more than any other club in the country. Poor 'wee' berrz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Us bears know what winning the treble is. We have won 7 trebles, more than any other club in the country. Oh ma sides...... Care to enlighten us as to how many of these "trebles" were won during the period of financial larceny / cheating under Dodgy Dave ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Mehhhhhh, with Lennon at the helm I'd count a league and cup double as the best achievement my club could realistically target. And don't piss on the rest of the top clubs will ya with Celtic should be romping it home with trebles every year, it just isn't that simple any more. Aberdeen are a very capable squad at the moment and have shown it. Never said you should be "romping" to the treble, but with your resources compared to the rest of the league it should be achievable every season at present, be careful that Celtic do not look back on this period of time, look at what they won and think, we should have won more, as for the rest of the league, 1 or 2 can maybe come 2nd, and the rest hope to avoid relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Celtic out of the cups it has given all the other clubs something to fight for to the end of the season and that helps the game more IMO.

Fecking new keyboard Point taken about being out of the cups and other teams winning them, but the Celtic budget compared to the other clubs is huge and for that reason alone should mean more success, but the quality of the rest of the Premier League is poor, and for that reason alone, maybe Celtic should be winning everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 European record is thought to be Linfield - they lifted Irish League, City Cup (a seperate league), Gold Cup (another seperate league), Irish Cup, County Antrim Shield, Belfast Charity Cup and Alahambra Cup in 1921-22. Although I don't know if the latter 2 were 'proper' competitions or just individual games - I suspect the Charity Cup at least was a proper length tournament? If they all count, that's 7. They are often cited as having won 7 trophies in 1961-62 - but it is actually a cheat. They won the first 5 tournaments mentioned above (note by this time he Gold Cup was a knockout cup) and the Ulster Cup. However... in winning the North-South Cup it was actually the previous season's edition whose final had been held-over owing to fixture congestion: the 1961-62 North-South Cup was won by Glenavon. Valletta of Malta are claimed to have won the league and 5 cups in 2000-01 but this may include some 'irregular' tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
