Utter garbage of course but it does not take a genius to work out that Mark Hateley is as ****ing stupid (I suspect he is also bitter) as Craig Burley. I can't speak for everyone else but I will not view our (predicted) title win as tainted, spoiled, soiled, ruined, devalued or somehow less enjoyable just because Rangers's past transgressions have caught up with them. Celtic had a bad start to the season, we had vital players injured for long spells and we were playing poorly but we turned it around and went on a winning run which only ended on Saturday. During that run we have played exceptional football at times, in other games we showed guts and grit to grind out wins, which we are often told is the sign of champions, so how Celtic's achievement can be diluted is a mystery to me. Even if Rangers had not been docked 10 points we would have still been cantering to the title, it's as simple at that and if anyone can't see that they need their heads examined or their blue tinted glasses surgically removed.
They can't touch us in the league so all they can do is throw this tainted title **** at us. Ironic, seeing as the only thing tainted is Rangers FC.
It's not tainted. We went into admin. We get docked 10pts. Thems the rules. We had imploded prior to that but who knows if we could have turned it around (had the **** storm not descended)?
It's not tainted of course, but part of me wishes that they'd saved administration etc until the end of the season. With the pantomime happening over at The Big House, the attention is being taken away from the fantastic turnaround that we've seen in Celtic's results and performances and it's detracting from the fact that the team, in their own rights, have shown themselves to be the best in the country. They deserve a huge amount of praise.
Let's be fair They have NOTHING left They can't even pull Lennon up for his behaviour anymore The ironic this about this is that their actual tainted titles look like being taken from them and passed to us 54 and counting down
who's they? Mark Hately - cretin craig burley - ex-celt stop going on about it. It clearly is getting to you lot or else you wouldnt feel the need to bring it up
It's not getting to me or anyone else I would suggest except an ex (bitter) Rangers man and an ex Celtic man with a massive chip on his shoulder, i'm "bringing it up" merely to highlight what a preposterous argument it is.
Some desperate souls are feverishly trying to convince themselves that we won by default. "It took the taxman to win them the league!!!" "GIRFUY smelly bhoys. This title is tainted and they all ****in know it". "Paolo di Canio said it, Burley has now said it. It is tainted and he knows it. He can't stand it that no one will remember this title "victory" for the scum". "No one will remember this as the year Neil Lennon managed a Celtic side to a league title. This will be remembered as the year Rangers went in to administration. That's what boils him the most". "I can just imagine 40 odd thousand Bears giving it the old "If you know the title's tainted clap yer hands" number when the mhanks come to town" "Of course it devalues the title and I hope a little asterisk against it will highlight the ten point deduction on any future records" "every sensible yahoo knows they will have a cheek to celebrate". "Of course the title is tainted, how could it not be. Rangers were run away winners until they collapsed in a heap through injuries, having no money to spend having to raid the bargain basement and finally going into administration". "As per usual the scum seem to have this notion that their team are something special instead of the mediocre bottle merchants they really are. I mean **** sake they scraped a 1-0 win against us at home where we scored a perfectly good goal that 'no-one seen'. We ****ing ran riot at ibrox hardly even breaking a sweat for 4-2, even when they jammied their 2-1 lead there was only one winner". "Fair enough they can go on about the unbeaten run but that's a lot easier when there's very little pressure. 2 seasons in a row they've been pumped out of europe and only got in this year on a technically only then to be shown up for what they are, pish". "I can't wait until the start of next season to see lemon and his superstars get dumped out of all european competitions by baltic pub teams". "It is a hollow victory - never let them forget the 2012 title was tainted". "Without their sellik-minded Q.C. to write press releases and advise on public relations just maybe the wheels will fall of their little bandwagon if we keep talking about the tainted title. it is obviously getting to the lurgan bigot already." "They can't deny that the title this year is tainted.....a very hollow victory"
I'm taking plenty pleasure in winning the league this year - I hope we crack on and set a points gap world record. I might not feel the same if members of our support had attempted to kill the Rangers management, however. Horses for courses
As we pay our taxes and are not in imminent danger of insolvency your's is, to say the least, a moot point.
