Well done lads what a season you's have had congrats to all involved its a great achievement...well done again

Because I am non confornist and confront bullshittery at all times.

Is this true?  Is there nothing more to it than what T Fearon suggests?  I'm afraid I am not an avid reader of his posts so I'm not sure.

[T Fearon]

Ok winning the league unbeaten is impressive but the top goalscorer in the same league was playing part time in the Irish League a few years ago.It was also the season in which Celtic suffered their heaviest ever defeat in Europe and arguably their most embarrassing result ever in a competitive fixture in Gibraltar.

Celtic are shite, and Rodgers is a clown.

[T Fearon]

No one is saying that but over praise is not merited.

History of Glasgow Celtic, part 1.

Founded in 1888 (this was a thoroughly "good thing" in everyone's eyes....no disputes about this, even on this thread).
1889 : things start getting erm......well "a bit average" shall we say.
1890-present day: absolutely mediocre (1966-1967 being noted as a "qualified success", with the shareholders engaging in a frenzy of autograph hunting).
The blame for all this lies somewhere around the Carnlough direction. Here endeth the lesson.

I do not have an autograph book,I have an official published text book wentitled The Lisbon Lions, with the autographs (and for reasons of authenticity my photograph with all the signatories) of all but Willie Wallace.Like many other adults I collect signed sporting memorabilia.

Now my question remains unanswered.What do others who pontificate on this thread do to support the club in practical ways.

Tony. Fair play to you for going. I wish I could afford it. And that's the cuz of the matter. Many people can't afford to support the club in practical ways. Actually. What are practical ways? Going to games? Buying official club merchandise?

Well done Brendan Rodgers an outstanding achievement . Invincibles!

[T Fearon]

Fair comment.I am guessing a lot of those pontificating here do not support the club but are bandwagon jumpers and besotted by the invincibles.In my opinion the domestic season merely reflects the huge investment made in the club's highest paid manager. Given the level of competition in Scotland it is not worth noting though the club will cash in commercially.

Brendan has it all to do proving himself capable at European level,(having failed to do so at Liverpool or Celtic to date) and this is where the club will earn real kudos.I do wish him success.

I'm the furthest thing from a Celtic supporter but hats off too them and Rodgers for going the entire season unbeaten. Even taking the quality of opposition into account it's still a fantastic achievement to keep going and winning game after game.
Rodgers is a decent coach, things just went wrong for him at Liverpool but he gave us one of the most enjoyable seasons in years the season they almost won the Premier League.

[Hotrocks]

Brilliant stuff Celtic and Brendan Rodgers.  Unbelievable achievement.

Must say I enjoyed reading this thread. Tony lamenting Celtic's inability to do well in Europe and ignoring the fact that they went unbeaten in the league. Yet his other beloved team Spurs win nothing and it's the best season ever for them.

[T Fearon]

I have also lamented Spurs performance in Europe.But which is the more momentous achievement? Finishing as runners up in the EPL or winning the SPL unbeaten when your budget dwarves all opponents

Nobody remembers runners up.
