LA-Don Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Although the Tribute Act did arguably get an easy draw they did also however invest in their squad to get players in to help them get through while we sold our only striker who knew where the goal was and did not replace him before we were already out. You could argue this for the last x years. We failed to invest sufficiently and give the team a chance. The huns spent early enough to advance in Europe, we did not.

Ten Caat Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Even so just look at the draw we would have got had we beaten Burnley.....the Turkish league runners up followed by Olympiakos..... Sevco with a lower coefficient go on a procession through various former Yugoslav republics facing relative shyte. I do credit them with getting the job done though. They are without doubt a different animal to the one of last season and playing 25 minutes plus with only 9 men and not losing a goal shows they are well organised. They will get found out in the group stages but the cash they will earn sadly means they have recouped all their speculative outlay and are safe for another season.

Playing a team with no height or guile in the final third. A team who squandered a one on one with MacGregor by blasting against the near post at the tightest angle when a simple low pass to the other side would have finished it? A team that played cross after cross to 5’8” forwards which were chicken feed for sevco’s 6’+ back six? They are incredibly jammy cunts, both literally and figuratively. I’m hoping their group is drawn as Chelsea, AC Milan, Leipzig, Sevco bit no doubt it’ll be Salzburg, Astana, Malmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are massive games for them that'll earn them a fortune. They've done the hard bit and have reaped the rewards, anything else from now on is a bonus.

baggy89 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'd just rather see them humiliated at this stage. Drubbings in all games and close enough their followers will travel in numbers and undoubtedly embarrass themselves and the company they follow. Arrogant cunts.

rocket_scientist Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Anyone else noticed a disturbing new trend? I wouldn't blame you if you hadn't encountered it but there's a couple of really uppity Hun cunts in a couple of pubs I frequent. Now that they're winning and Stevie G is the new messiah apparently, they've taken to history revisionism. Specifically they are in denial that their first love died and that this is a new company. I responded to one of the wiseguys slapping down a blank paper pad (he had been writing down the CL draw as it was happening) and saying "this is Aberdeen's European fixtures" by saying that this represented the total number of trophies won by Rangers or The Rangers or whatever the fuck it's called now. Jeez the two huns were touchy as fuck. They were quoting Lord Bannatyne or some such prick, like any judge in the land would make a pronouncement on a matter of fact. When a company is dissolved, it ceases to exist. I was reminded of the dead parrot sketch. Yesterday they were arguing that the holding company never went bust and some balloon last week was arguing that Celtic went bust during Fergus McCann's era. They are very sick bastards and whilst no one likes them, they do care. Arseholes to a man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Aye it's that kind of shite that is making them more dis-likable than when they supported the liquidated club. They've always had huge amounts of misplaced arrogance and the way the last 6 years has played out has only multiplied that. I'd certainly have less ill will towards them if they admitted the old club was liquidated they now supported a new one (with the same abhorrent founding principals), and that they had in fact won nothing as a new club. I suppose to do that would be admitting they let their club die and that would inherently undermine their opinion of themselves as the most loyal and fantastic support. It would also deny them the ability to claim they are the most successful club side in the world, that they were relegated and the world is against them, and that they are attempting to win a 55th top league title. In other words everything that attracts those mentally and intellectually weak individuals to follow them, thereby potentially reducing their support and income.

Ten Caat Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 They weren't relegated..... They were a new club who had to apply for membership to the league system in Scotland. At that point the Premiership and the other 3 leagues were also 2 separate bodies. They initially tried to get into the Premiership and were told to f@ck off.....it was Aberdeen who were allowed to give the crucial no vote which meant they definitely weren't getting in though in the end IIRC 11 clubs voted no in total and Killie abstained. So Dungcaster et al tried to shoehorn them into the First Division totally ignoring the rules that existed however the First Division chairmen on the whole also delivered a dirty great "fuck off" (the Raith Rovers chairman now deceased was an absolute hero at the time) and the rules were adhered to that any new club joining the Scottish league system must start at the bottom rung. Of course other established clubs who had tried to join the league system for years (gala fairydean etc) were totally overlooked in favour of the new club in filling that vacant space. Those cunts should really have been forced to start in the lowest rung of the West of Scotland juniors........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cunts should really have been forced to start in the lowest rung of the West of Scotland juniors........ When you compare the way the Tribute Act were treated compared to Gretna 2008 who were the new club formed after the liquidation of the old Grenta FC it is laughable that these cunts think everyone is against them. Grenta 2008 were not allowed to use the old name, colours or badge by the SFA, not allowed to take on the old clubs SFA membership, forced to apply to the East of Scotland league (at that time not part of the league pyramid) and most importantly not allowed to keep the old clubs honours. Tribute Act were parachuted into division 3 ahead of clubs like Spartans and Gala despite not meeting the SPL's entry requirements, allowed to play in same colours, allowed to keep the dead clubs SFA membership and the SFA still say the dead clubs honours belong to the new club.

Those cunts should really have been forced to start in the lowest rung of the West of Scotland juniors........ If that was aimed at me, I know, that was my point. In accepting they are a new club they'd have to also accept that all the nonsense they come away with is, just that. If they did that, all their mentally/socially/personality deficient followers would no longer be attracted to them, and their revenue sources would dry up. These people feel lost and the horde mentality that club/company provide makes them feel safe and in a sad way fulfilled, somehow. Unfortunately it is also a blight on Scotland's social demographic and culture. I'm in agreement they should have been allowed to go the same way Gretna were. The fan's may have banded together and formed a cohesive and "clean" fan owned club that fully deserved it's place in the professional leagues one day. Although I am doubtful, I think if made to restart properly that which I mentioned earlier would happen and support dwindle. They'd have possibly ended up a Partick or St Mirren sized club or even similar to us, hearts and hibs as everyone would have seen the negative affect the old club had on society as a whole. The green team also reduces in support size and we end up with a proportionate league and a more functional 21st century society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lencarl Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 14 fucking signing made by Sevco this transfer window. How much of a squad do they have now ?. The wage bill must be massive. Being in Europe only gives them a guaranteed £2 .6 Million. Sevco will claim an immediate £2.6m for reaching the group stages, from a total Europa League prize pot of £455m. Each group win is rewarded with £320,000, with a further £105,000 on offer for each draw. Add in gate receipts, television money, and a share of the coefficent ranking pot will add to their bounty. With the top two qualifying for the last 32, group winners will also receive a qualification bonus of £897,000 and the runners-up £448,000. This could go tits up very soon.

In prize money thats their guaranteed pot. However they get 2 games at home with a guaranteed sell out of 50k fans. At around £28 a ticket even allowing for maybe 5k being kids at half price they will rake in well over a further £2.5 million alone. You would have to think with them getting probably the easiest group they could have (how do these bastards do it??) they might well win a home match and maybe a draw on top so that brings their total pot to well over £5 million all in. And thats not even counting corporate stuff, TV rights, fucking Broxi burgers etc...... They are safe for another 12 months sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFuckinPowers Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Can't believe he thinks Rogic fouled Jack ( The Snake ) in the lead up to their goal, never in 2 million years was that a foul. Didn't take Gerrard long though, did it, to buy into the cretinous, monotonous pish about being cheated, being a class above teams etc... etc... A class above, yet level on points with us & by our own standards, we've been well below par. Fuck you, you fucking rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
