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.

    Norrie it was only after i answered i began to wonder at that. wont question our QM, but i reckon we were a season out?

     

    I think you are right re BD

     

     

    Simple because i was supposed to go to Dortmund with my mates, but had started uni and money was too tight, Much to my regret….

    Sorry Bhoys,

     

     

    I have mentioned the wrong season. Should be 93/94. Bolloxs. Serves me right for writing the quiz again tonight.

     

     

    So I am going to null and void round 2 and move onto round 3. During the break, I will pull together another round 2 quiz.

    Round 3 will start in a couple of minutes…

  18. The Token Tim on

    CRC,

     

     

    assuming we all went with the 93/94 question why not look at the answers anyway as i think we all fell for your trick question ;-)

  19. Celticrollercoaster supporting The Walk With Shay Legacy Fund on

    Ok Bhoys, what do you want to do?

     

     

    Replay round 2 or take it with the honest mistake? I will go with the majority

  20. Although the year did throw me off a little I don’t think it affected my (probably) zero score so just mark the round as it is…
