EdTheDuck Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Just imagine If they did win their game in hand If they did win the two Ugly Sister games If the green meanies hit a form slump Boy o boy, I couldn't give a flying f**k, not a single f**k whatsoever 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebowski Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 9 games still to play, a game in hand and 2 old firm (sorry Romeo) games to be played. Could we have regained our earlier form? Could we have beaten celtic? Could celtic have had a few bad games, they got through a few previous games by the skin of their teeth.... Could asking for fairness be classed as self interest, possibly... Did we want celtic to get £30m champions league money? Did the spfl's cowboy antics piss us off? I don't think you can single out any one reason. Again apologies to Romeo for saying old firm.So let's say rangers win both derbies, and their game in hand. They still needed Celtic to drop 5 points more than Rangers in the remaining 6 games. Celtic had dropped 7 points in their other 28 games to non Rangers opponents. Rangers to win the league would have required Celtic to win less than half of their remaining games when they'd won 26/30 up to it stopping. And for Rangers to win 9/9 when they'd won 21/29.Is that possible? Sure. Also wildly unrealistic? Aye, that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers winning all 9 would seem unlikely given they've dropped 7 against the other top 6 clubs (ex. Celtic).

I don't think you can single out any one reason. Again apologies to Romeo for saying old firm. Good chance Celtic would've dropped points against us at the Spaghettihad after the split (presuming we remained in the top 6), they've not won a game there since we came up last season. Still don't think The Rangers could put together a run of wins to take advantage of any points Celtic dropped though. Lets be honest, The Rangers wanted the season voided because that was the only way to stop Celtic getting to 9 IAR, and your fans are quite happy that the season couldn't be completed. Finishing the season as is, gives The Rangers the opportunity to throw a question mark on this season's title though, saying it wasn't properly won, but you've won several tainted titles during the EBT seasons so it isn't exactly solid ground you're standing on using that patter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that expectation explains, in part, the stance he's adopting here. He doesn't want to be seen that way, which is to his credit. Backing the horse he has, however, is not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
