Not at their level?

We played them off the park a whole week ago ffs!!

That was in a cup competition. I was referring to the league, clearly, as I was talking about their performance at Tannadice at lunchtime. Which was a league game. Have a look at the league table, if you think you're at Celtic's level. That'd be like us saying we're at the same level as Liverpool. Which would clearly be nonsense. By the way; that game a week ago, when you "played them off the park"; you lost. Yes, it was via penalties. Which can be a lottery. But if the roles were reversed, and you'd beaten them on spot kicks, having been outplayed by them, would you complain?

9 points behind with 3 Old Firm games to play.

Celtic did it the year Ange came in from an equal position

Helicopter Sunday season we were miles off it until it went pear shaped for them the last few weeks

You were asking if Aberdeen could win it a few weeks ago as they had a similar points advantage over Rangers. A few weeks later We are a point ahead with a game in hand

Next four league games are huge for Rangers. If Rangers are only 6 points behind after them it is very much game on

Would anyone?

I’d still want VAR officials punished but I already said I’d hold my hands up and say we got away with one

Be honest; you think you'll catch them? Fair play to you, if you do. I think I made my position clear on one of these Scottish football related threads as to who my preference would have been for the title winners. You reference them in your post But they appear to have shit the bed, unfortunately. In my opinion, Scottish football would benefit from a "new" face at the top of the tree. It's getting monotonous seeing the same two faces winning it over the last, what, 40 years? I know you or Magic won't agree; I wouldn't, if I was in either of your shoes.

By the way ; WTF is "helicopter sunday"?

 

[eyalluvitt]

I wish it was that simple. We have been woeful every game since Brugge. Missed a few sitters today, but overall we never got going. Starting to get pissed off at how bad we are, compared to prior to Brugge. That’s about six or seven games where we have been shit.

Merry Christmas

One of the greatest days in SPL history.

Our ‘Aguerooooooo’ moment

Going into last day of the season Celtic looked odds on to win the league and the SFA placed a helicopter in central Scotland to fly trophy to whoever won the league. It was on its way to Motherwell when Scott McDonald scored a double in the last couple of minutes to beat Celtic 2-1. Famous commentary line ‘And the Helicopter is changing direction’ and the trophy was flown to Easter Road where Rangers won 1-0.

Thanks. I wasn't wumming you, I'd honestly never heard of it. Maybe I need to speak to my parole officer about getting out more. How long ago was this?

You have a very selective memory of my posts. I’d be delighted to have a successful Aberdeen , Hearts, Killie, Dundee, Dundee United etc etc.

I have said , consistently, that we should adopt the Dutch system where a healthy percentage of European prize money should be shared among the top division clubs to try and improve the overall standard and help to create a more competitive league

I’ve had a season ticket since 1982 and remember our domination of the late 80s/ 90s. It was tedious most of the time.

My point about Aberdeen is how quickly it can turn a round. I do think , if we win our next 4 games, we are right back in it. The next 4 games are St Mirren , Motherwell and Hibs away with Celtic at Ibrox
