Is that not the same as me telling you how I still find enjoyment and meaning in going to watch Celtic for you tell me “nah it’s meaningless” ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, clearly not. The equivalent would be me saying you don’t enjoy your pointless victories. I know you do. Much like I don’t doubt some people out there enjoy love island. They must do, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t really get to decide what the point is, the reverse is also true where I don’t get to tell you if there is a point to watching your team Edited February 20, 2023 by Jinky67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sport with a pre determined outcome is pointless. You disagree and you’re entitled to that opinion. You just don’t like mine and that’s why you get so upset every time I say it. But if you tell me you go because you like it and it makes you happy and I say no it doesn’t, most men of your age just have nothing better to do, then it’s arsehole behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also The outcome isn't that pre-determined, the bookies favourite past 2 seasons haven't won't the league and Saint Johnstone have won 2 cups. It's very predictable at times yes but certainly not pre-determined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these past few weeks have taught you anything it’s should be that the outcome is never pre-determined. And don’t worry about upsetting me it’s extremely unlikely and you will know as I’ll probably call you a fanny and tell you to f**k off Edited February 20, 2023 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temerity of trying tell me how I should feel about watching my team. The difference between us that my reaction is not an abusive and infantile one such as what you have done a couple of times in this thread Would this now be a better time for a heads gone quip?

I have no doubt having a bit of a closed shop is an influence for some but let's be honest it's not the overriding reason when your at that age. Its an easy excuse really to point the finger at something else. Can't speak for others, but age is by no means a factor for me. I'll still be going to the fitba pretty much every week, just not the Scottish Premiership. I love the fitba, that's not an issue. There's a lad I used to work with who gave up going to watch Celtic post-covid and now watches Clyde. He just got bored with it. I'm more in line with him than someone who move away from fitba through life changes. I've got no weans and a missus who accepts it's what I like to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m 44 this year and I still love going, I have 5 kids, 4 of them boys who also enjoy going and part of the enjoyment is getting to spend time with them as it’s one of the few times they will be happy to entertain the auld da. Spending that time with them is genuinely one of my favourite things as soppy as it sounds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve posted here for years and I don’t think I’ve ever before posted such a thing to another poster. Believe me I wouldn’t do it lightly because it’s not the route I want to go down. You can make whatever quip you like, I’ve told you I’m angry. And I’ve told you what I think of you.

10menwent2mow Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 As I've said, I think it's been this bad before, when Celtic had Sutton, Larsson, Hartson, Thompson et al and Rangers had their Dutch contingent. I was in my teenage years at this time and was pretty enthusiastic about going to the fitba, much in the same way that if I was a teenager now, I'd still be enthusiastic. I'm pretty sure the only thing that could reignite my interest would be Rangers and Celtic fucking off. If there is to be a 'multi-tier' superleague, into which tier do Rangers and Celtic think they'd fit?? Say if it's leagues of 16?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap yourself on the back if you think of it as a win. If the sport is making you angry it's maybe best you call time on it M8, they're loads of reason why we still go to the games winning isn't the main thing or the result. My first game was in 1978 and I was hooked,So many changes since then some good some bad,it's very easy to get angry at the modern game but too many good memories and new ones to stay away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slap yourself on the back if you think of it as a win. I don’t post here for wins, there is no one keeping score. I post here to share my opinion on my team, things impacting my team and the odd occasional point and laugh at those across the city. However lightly you take to calling me whatever you want is entirely a you problem. It just doesn’t impact me as I’ll just keep coming back whilst I feel there is a valid point to make. So do yourself a favour and just be your word and be done with me. If not then accept the fact i will challenge your opinion if I feel I should and you probably won’t like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your top 32 is probably your Champions League regulars which neither of us are just now. So probably in the 33-48 tier…at best Edited February 20, 2023 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
