Dons_1988 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 One minute I get accused of not caring about Scottish football and the next I get called up for actually showing an interest in it . What is it to be here? I've not accused you of either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also could afford to gamble on a "rookie" manager . Last season we saw Celtic with an experience decent manager who had a bit of cash to splash if required I.e 4.5 million for Sinclair and as should be it blew aberdeen and ourselves out the water . Celtic would never have gambled with deila for two seasons if he was up against a rangers team of Walter smiths quality pre 2012 The Kink will have a heart attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May seem a strange concept for berrz to understand, Rangers are not the attraction for me (they do occasionally provide great comical entertainment). I'd gladly swap all the ugly derbies if we continue to dominate domestically and make improvements in Europe. Celtic have a sound sustainable financial model, the challenge is developing the squad, attracting the best talent to perform on a European stage. Considering most of Celtic fans tend to hang out here, it's quite easy for people to mistake that Celtic fans lives revolve around Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 You asked why I concerned myself with how close Aberdeen got to Celtic ? Why shouldn't I have ? Ok, fair enough.My point was more aimed at the point scoring around 'rangers weren't there so it doesn't count'.The fact is you weren't there, and it's no ones fault but yours that you weren't there. So you need to accept it, the league took place, with or without you. Celtic won it. We did alright competing, I think actually the points gap was always fairly narrow going into the split but we seemed to throw the towel in if the gap got beyond about 5 or 6 points. This 'it doesn't count because we weren't there' push is extremely tedious and boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverWolfe Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Where am I saying not to enjoy your success [emoji38] give me one instance where I have said that I didn't say you did say that. You are however insinuating that our recent success isn't that great because Rangers self imploded after cheating Scottish football for the best part of 3 decades. I'm simply telling you that I will enjoy our success no matter what team are our nearest challengers. Out of interest, what is a fully functioning Rangers? Surely in your lifetime (and mine) Rangers only success was based on spending money that didn't belong to them while cheating the taxman as well as Scottish football. Is that really what you want? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we do hang about in your clubs threads, no other clubs threads provide us with as much entertainment as your clubs threads. I'm only too happy to contribute to the hilarity when things get embarrassing for your mob, which happens pretty often by the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they did was down to mcinness abilty to get more from his players while deila got less .

Wee-Bey Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I refuse to acknowledge both Celtic's European Cup win and Aberdeen's Cup Winners Cup victories due to the fact Rangers were in no position to challenge them for those titles. Unlucky lads, best take those stars off your strips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are utterly distraught at the prospect of Celtic winning the next four titles and is a crumb of comfort for them to dismiss anything they didn't compete in. I can't wait to see if they do use this piece of pie in the sky pish if Celtic do achieve 10. Also would they dismiss if Aberdeen won the title this season because the **** now think all the other clubs are irrelevant and it's only between them and Celtic? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something commonly accepted when you chat to Celtic fans in every day life. Online it's a different story because you're speaking to people actively seeking an argument because they've nothing better to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth are you talking about ? my original arguement was that Celtic stagnated a bit after our departure and took their foot off the gas hence why they persisted with the deila experiment for two whole seasons . If at any point the title looked in serious trouble then deila would have been off much much earlier . The point deila's days were numbered was for getting beat off rangers if you remember . Nowhere however did I state their titles meant any less because we weren't in the league . I stated that without us in the league however it was almost guaranteed that they would dominate the league .

hellbhoy Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I cannot fucking believe the **** have fallen for this pish that it's really only 2 titles IAR. Using the Dave King warped calculator if Aberdeen did mange to win the league without a Rangers FC in it, is it still 2IAR? Or more likely the **** wouldn't be making massive fuds out of themselves with this nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
