Don't take it personally, it's football, it's built on local rivalries. Any Club would suffer if their historical rivals disappeared. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a very simplistic post hoc ergo propter hoc mind but at least you say “half full” like a true optimist. My argument isn't that Celtic need a Rangers* to survive, they don't, but they do need one to thrive. Your Chairman/BoD's aren't going to sanction £9m purchases of the like of Eduard or £7m on Julien simply because they won't need to in order to beat the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts or Hibs. They won't take this gamble on the hope of making the UCL group stages either. This in turn will be seen negatively by the supporters, many of whom will lose interest (as seen 2012-16) and attendances will fall off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 A genuine no-lose situation for the neutral/casual viewer this: 1. Celtic win = a likely additional entry in the Chronicles of the Banter Years thread and continued pain and suffering for the ***s at the hands of their great rivals. or 2. Rangers win = a first major trophy, in a final, against Celtic which will cause some stunning meltdowns from their fans. Number 2 would probably result in greater P&B meltdown potential, however I'd still prefer number 1. If there's a level beyond which Rangers fans suffering is no longer funny, I don't think I'm anywhere close to reaching it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably possible on paper, but it couldnt exist for more than a millionth of a millionth of a second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 And so it starts.... The celtic supporters association.... We had something like 36,000 supporters at Hampden, more than half will not get a ticket for the final due to Sevco, that is shocking, Hampden is not fit for purpose, it has never been fit for purpose since the decision was taken to rebuild the stadium as all seated with a capacity of only 50,000, Celtic have more season ticket holders than the whole of Hampden holds. Fergus McCann strongly opposed the project, but as usual was not supported. The Celtic supporters suffer greatly in other aspects of Hampden, for instance you can’t use the train to go there, especially if we are playing against Sevco, albeit this is their first ever final against Celtic, and only their second in the short existence. The last couple of years going to Hampden as a Celtic supporter has been a nightmare no matter what mode of transport you use, and we should know, this will be our 14th appearance in a row, as we go for our 10th Trophy in a row. But for me the biggest disappointment will be that it will not be what it should be, and that is “An Enjoyable Experience”. Because of who we are playing some supporters won’t go at all. Others won’t take their kids, even if they can get a ticket. And why is that? Because everyone knows we will be treated to about 2 hours of Sectarian and Racist bile from their so-call football supporters. This is not a UEFA competition, so it will business as usual for their mob, they don’t know any other way. This is a competition ran by the SPFL, they have been complicit along with the SFA to turning a blind eye to all the goings-on over in Govan, and I don’t see that changing. Operation stop the ten is in full flow, they are desperate for Sevco to win their first ever major trophy, and they will do all in their power to try to succeed. It will be very interesting to see who get the job of refereeing the final, one thing is sure, it won’t be anyone with a liking for Celtic Football Club. But there is a bit to go yet, and as I said, if we play to our capabilities, and they don’t get too many penalties, we will win. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
