Declare the 9

873

I remember 1997 when another nine-in-a-row was about to be won.  We knew it was coming, we knew it would be difficult and we needed to get through the period.  I avoided all news coverage and football chat for over 24 hours that May, only to find out later that Motherwell’s Owen Coyle upset plans and the title had yet to be won.  I just wanted it over with, the delay was not helpful.

We are in the same situation now, there is not the remotest doubt the Premiership will be called and Celtic will be declared champions.  No one’s interest is served by further postponing the inevitable; it would only leave the SPFL in the spotlight longer than necessary.

Only box ticking exercises remain and today’s meeting between Premiership clubs and the SPFL should be the last.  Scottish football has more important things to worry about, it is in significant peril and needs to move energies on immediately.  Declare the 9.

  4. So, what’s the scoop tomorrow?

  5. Hi Bada, Skybet are not owned by Sky now, think it’s some Canadian company that owns them. Now a totally separate organisation as far as I.m aware

  6. Just read this on a FB site –

     

     

    Unfortunately and disappointingly I had to remove ex Rangers player Ted McMinn from the group for comments made about ex Celtic player Peter Grant. They were disrespectful and totally unnecessary, and breaking groups rules. So please bare this in mind and keep enjoying the page and most of all please be respectful at all times. It’s not a lot to ask is it ! Thanks! Take care!

  7. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Art of War , Ted McMinn’s proper first name is Kevin.

  9. BT: I think that’s the way to go. Shame the site is being neglected. It’s a great place for info, discussions and fundraising.

  13. We will deservedly claim our second 9 IAR tomorrow and will almost immediately be subject to a media onslaught trying to besmirch the achievement.

     

     

    As history is written by the victors, we’ve little to worry about on that score.

  14. blantyretim is praying for the Knox family on

    Art of War , let’s hope we are celebrating another league title while our Glasgow rivals celebrate their new kit deal that according to their marketing guy , could outstrip (pardon the poor pun) our deal with Adidas.

  17. Let’s all do the huddle 11.04

     

     

    Let them.no smear or slander we have not heard in our unbroken history.

     

    We work for what we win and we do it well

     

     

    The hun was not here for the first few years?why?

     

    It’s hard operating where peepil don’t have insight and don’t learn.

    Hope all’s safe down your way mate.

    It’s better than those blue t shirts you wore into work a few months back . 😀😀😀

  22. Sutton asked Broony how he would answer” those people” who said the title was tainted etc.

     

     

    Broony said I would say come round and see my trophy.

     

     

    The evening times and the bbc quoted him as saying “rangers” fans could come round and see my trophy.

     

     

    He never said any such thing…total scum.
