Not wanting to bring back unhappy memories but I have been thinking about the the 2 League Titles that we didn't win under MON 2002/3 and 2004/5 both of which we lost in the dying minutes of the final League matches of the season and by the slightest of margins
Of the 2 I find the latter the most hurtful and hardest to take The former although just as hurtful came at the end of a season where we won absoloutely NOTHING and the HUNS Won a TREBLE but it felt as though we had done brilliantly by way of our progress during our successful run to the UEFA CUP FINAL in Seville just 4 days prior to losing out on winning the League Championship
As things stand we are on 49 League Titles with the 50th teasingly close to our grasp and the HUNS are on 54 and 'GOING FOR 55' but don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen
My point is that had we won the League Titles in 2002/3 and 2004/5 which we really should have done we would now be on 51 Titles with the 52nd just waiting to be secured and the HUNS would also be on 52 Titles
Misfortune Carelessness our perennial ability to miss spot kicks or ex Celtic keepers coming back to haunt us were all contributing factors to our inability to win both of these Titles I'm hoping that no such complexities feature in the final 5 games of this season's League run in or indeed the Scottish Cup Final
As a Club I think we are in much better shape than our opponents are although perhaps not as good a side as we were back in the early/mid noughties when the HUNS were indulging in their EBT cheating era and basically buying success that they could not legally and fairly afford or really have any sporting or integrity based entitlement to
So let Lenny who was involved as a player in both of these seasons remind our players over these upcoming final 6 matches of the season and describe to them 1st hand the hurt and pain he'd have felt and ensure that there are no slip ups as we look to secure the TREBLE TREBLE and hunt down OLDCO's trophy haul which they erroneously claim made them the 'WORLD'S MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB'
We know that their assertions are pish and the inane ramblings of deluded hurting idiots but once we overtake them in the Trophies Won Stakes that's another claim that they won't be able to pronounce and will make their despair pain and bitterness all the harder for them to bear
HH?
