And it's a far more pressing issue than whether someone was offside or not. I'd agree if it was happening on a regular or even somewhat regular basic but the fact this was a record win for us spanning a 134 history suggests this was just a bit of a freak result where everything that could go right for Celtic did and everything that could go wrong for United did. If we continue to dish out 7,8,9 goal victories regularly over the course of the season then that clearly would be a cause for concern but that isn't happening as of yet.

To be honest, the main thing stopping it happening more often may just be putting the tools away at 4 or 5 ahead of a heavy fixture schedule when the European games start to kick in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, we won by more then 3 goals in the league on 10 occasions last season and most of those came at the end of the season after we had gone out of Europe. You could also attribute that to us having a bigger squad and fatigue not impacting us as heavily. Our biggest away win last season was 4-0 away to Motherwell so well off what happened yesterday Edited August 29, 2022 by Jinky67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He assisted the 3rd as much as any in green. Not disputing the overall outcome but it grates the OF get help they don't need. Spotted that myself and the game just flowed on. However, even so, no United player made any attempt at the ball from that point on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a 9-0 win for Liverpool this weekend but I've not seen anybody saying R.I.P English Football or acting concerned. Instead just people celebrating a top Liverpool performance. But Celtic win 9-0 & it's the end of the world. No credit given whatsoever for an incredible performance, just excuses & dramatics about the state of Scottish football. Why the double standards I wonder? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
