The first real opportunity was when Kilmarnock knocked you out of the League Cup, although maybe the 2-2 home draw with Crawley Town in a friendly edges that. Then there was the 1-0 home defeat from Zurich. 1-0 loss away to Livingston. 4-0 scudding from Istanbul. Another 4-0 home defeat, this time from Rangers. 5-1 at Fiorentina. 2-0 at Pittodrie, and we're not even into November... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's more impressive is that you were best of the diddies 3 years on the bounce which is something we've not achieved since the 1950s I think. Maybe you should build a Stuart McCall statue, he gave you the play-off victory in year 4 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by that you mean he managed the Rangers side that we absolutely battered, then yeah....technically he did give us it. Whilst you guys are all arguing amongst yourselves, we're actually the best non-OF club there is. There literally isn't a club other than Celtic who can clean sweep us across the board, and no other non-city club that's even in the discussion. Taking everything into account and going by your sample size then in the last 30 years: Finished 2nd four times. Finished 3rd three times. One of only 3 non-OF clubs to hit 70 points. Top 6 fifteen times. Champions League once. Europa League five times. Europa Conference League once. UEFA Cup three times. Cup Winners Cup once. Scottish Cup winners once. Top League Scorer twice. One of only three clubs to not be relegated. One of only four clubs (inc Old Firm) to play in Champions League. One of only four clubs to play in all five European competitions. One of only four clubs to split the Old Firm which we've done twice. Came within 5 points of winning the league. Aberdeen have also never been relegated, have four 2nd place finishes and have split the OF, but they have never played in the Champions League. Hearts have played in the Champions League and all five European Competitions, have split the Old Firm but only have two 2nd place finishes, and have been Relegated twice. Hibs have split the old firm but have never finished 2nd, have never played in the Champions League and have been relegated twice. Rangers, well....that could be debated in a hundred aspects til the cows come home. Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen can pipe doon *patronising head pat*.

That's what I meant. You need 3 Scottish cup wins and 3 participations (1 to go) in Euro group stages in 30 years to be considered big time. I don't make the rules. Well I did but it's just common sense. Edited February 21, 2023 by Falcor Roar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
