You're implying that people are suggesting the current team are up there with the Lisbon lions, but nobody is. You just want to think they are so you can play down their achievement. I gave Rangers a mention to show that having a financial advantage doesn't always guarantee you'll break records. Carry on though, I'm enjoying the jealousy. wrong again, you're good at this. everytime this record is mentioned, the 67 team gets mentioned jealousy?

sbcmfc Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 It seems a bit of a manufactured celebration to me. I didn't know it was a thing until the last week or so.* Suppose it gave some meaning to a couple of games for the fans. *thats not to say it's not a decent achievement, as most teams have a blip somewhere.

Loving the fact that the dick who wants his team to come 4th feels the need to pretend he doesn't know anything about it. ??? Hopefully the run can continue against the sheep on Wednesday, but all good things must come to an end sometime! Magnificent? Not really. There's not a lot of serious competition, is there? It's still a good run, as consistency is hard to come by, but definitely not magnificent. Oh and it's spelt invincibles unless it's another weird Celtic misspelling, like bhoys?

Jersey Jim Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 St Mirren went 28 league games unbeaten when Fergie was our manager, ironically it was Morton who brought our run to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wembley67lisbon Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Celtic won 25 league games in a row under MON but we got beat in the cup by Hibs during that. no surprises seeing most folk poo hoo it but whatever the competition is, the fact celtic have won every single domestic game bar 1 (a draw away to ict of all teams) is a great achievement.

Blackpool78 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 After a few years of hearing this is the worst Celtic in years when they go to the start of February and have yet to lose in the league, you can feel the hate and you go as far to admit your own team are that s***e rather than give Celtic credit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professionals who have been on the winning side against the vast majority of the current Celtic team in the recent past. It's a shame you feel the need to talk down Scottish football like that.

SMcoolJ Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I think it's rather a decent achievement. To go unbeaten for 26 games, winning 25 of them (is that right?!) takes some effort no matter the extent of the monetary gulf. What I would say is that it's hugely embarrassing for Scottish football. There's no need to talk down our game at the moment, just look at the league. Sutton, in response to the Chelsea bid for Gordon, said "Celtic don't actually need a keeper at the moment" - he's right. As much as we maybe weren't a significant threat in some folk’s eyes, Aberdeen's "title challenge" over the last two seasons was great to be part of and consumed most Aberdeen fans and more. I took a real interest in Scottish fitba as a whole, games, results, ins and outs etc, etc. Appreciate that wasn't necessarily the case for anyone not in the "race". That's gone though, our attendances have diminished and Scottish fitba is wearisome again. This isn't Celtic's fault but surely something has to be done to make the league more competitive again and not just to accommodate a two horse race. The must be dull as feck for Celtic fans too, albeit a decent achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flure Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 It was the Swedish philosopher, Henrik Larsson, who said, "The longer a run goes on, the closer you are to the end of it". He did, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipped flake Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm just glad that the great leaders of our game here in Scotland have been proved right, in that the league needed the rangers back so we could have proper competition at the top of the league.
