Well done to LCFC. Brilliant achievement.
Hopefully some of my fellow Celtic fans will look at the reactions of the Leicester fans and see that winning a title isn't a right, it's a privilege. It isn't a given, it's earned.
Every title should be celebrated. Hail hail.

Hail Hail to that.

My faith in anything can happen in football has been restored . Brilliant achievement Leicester. Tpp to try and have some kind of cheap shot at your fellow supporters and try to compare Leicesters achievements this season to ours is ridiculous. Winning a title in Scotland with our resources is a right not a privilege. Leicesters achievement is comparable to us winning CL .Anything is possible as Leicester have proved

Thanks for proving my point Stevie.

Tpp are you really that naive to believe that the reactions of Celtic fans should be similar to that of Leicester fans in winning respective titles? I repeat winning the title in Scotland with our resources IS a right not a privilege
03 May 2016 00:09:39
Stevie, nowhere did I say that our reaction should be the same as Leicester fans, nor did I equate what they achieved with us winning a title. I was talking about appreciation, which some of our fans, you included, clearly seem to lack.
Honestly, claiming that winning the title is our right is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard a Celtic fan say. It's right up there with something I'd expect from the other mob. Disgusting.
I'm not even looking for a debate or an argument, we are so far apart on how we view this, there is little point in even discussing it. There is nothing that you can say that would make me believe winning (anything) is our 'right', and I'm assuming the fact you have that mindset means there is little I can say to change yours.
Funnily enough, I wasn't even meaning anyone in particular, it was a statement addressing a real ugly entitlement that had crept into our support.

Tpp as I'm sure you are well aware Scotland is unique in the gulf between what used to be 2 clubs which is now one and the rest. The gap between Celtic and the rest has been approx 30 to 40 points for around 15 seasons now . So yeah we would have to be unbelievably bad not to win the SPL.I know you can only beat what's put in front of you and presently where we can be judged is Europe and recently we have failed miserably. let's not drop our standards so low by claiming winning a one horse race is an achievement.

The Poeticpatient . I remember a club in Glasgow whose fans use to claim they deserved better . That is rubbish, there are at the very least 6 clubs in the EPL who would have laughed at the idea of Leicester finishing above them and winning the League . No club no where and no set of fans nowhere deserve to be Champions . Champions of any Country has to be earned and worked for . That's exactly what Celtic have done this season and the previous four, we had to accumulate more points than our opponents and fair play to Leicester and their manager they adopted a very simple game plan and applied it . They didn't confuse themselves with plan B and C. Hard work and plan A won them the EPL.

OB aren't all game plans simple? Pass to your team mate, win tackles and score goals. I don't think they played a simple game plan. Solid yes. Simple no chance. There is a tremendous amount of organisation in that team front to back. Their counter attacking play has been executed perfectly. Excellent off the ball work/ runs etc. The defensive side is obvious.
To get players working and performing to that consistent level isn't easy.
The bpl top 4, top 5 if you include Liverpool haven't showed up this year and have looked average at times. Leicester have taken full advantage and deserve it. And skelpd the lot of them. Great achievement. Tottenham have to be given a nod as well but I'm not a fan of the club or the fans.
Tpp i feel relief that the title is ours but with everything going on I'm not content.
We have stuttered, stalled and and have been bailed out by the quality in our squad. We have won the league and I'm happy we have. At the back of my mind I still think the sheep fluffed it numerous times and could of really turned the screw. In the same breath we kept or extended the gap.
To be honest this has been my least favourite title in memory. Bad as it sounds and before anyone jumps on that comment. I've jumped around and celebrated felt butterflies on the title decider game. Not this year.

Funny seeing the praise being heaped on leicester n yet fans wanted rd sacked for aberdeen runnin us close its a funny old game.
03 May 2016 07:50:14
Fans didn't want RD sacked for Aberdeen running us close, if they wanted him sacked, it was for him being at the very least a pretty incompetent manager, don't let the fact we won the league put a sheen on Ronnies failings.
03 May 2016 09:20:15
If anything else, we can't get 10 without the 5th. So some good has come out of it. that's all I've got though, seasons been poor.

Rglen maybe the prioblem is the criticism and continuous nagging at R D and the team has left the players not interested in putting the fight necessary to win the SPL more easily . Maybe the constant barracking from the home crowd also turned the players off.
It's interesting to see that Celtic's best performance in recent months was away at Tynecastle where the noise level was so high from both sets of fans, the players couldn't hear any individual abuse ( if there was any)
