Congrats to our fierce rivals. When all is said and done, we buckled under 
the pressure and your team did what it had to do to win the league, whereas 
our team simply did not put up a good enough show in these last few games.

Not sure that its accurate to say "At the start of the season, we would have 
taken 3 cup finals and 2nd place in the league" since obviously you ALWAYS 
want to win the title. But given the size of the task WS had on his hands 
with no budget and a team of fairly average players - Cuellar the one 
noteable exception - I think we haven't done too badly.

Hopefully WS will be given some money to spend, and next year expectations 
will be MUCH greater. We cant say that the current team haven't gelled 
together, after 70-odd games, they must know each other inside out. So a 
couple of quality players brought in should see the team progress leaps & 
bounds for next season.

Failing to win the title next year however will be seen as an abject 
failure. Its up to WS and AMcC et al to ensure this doesn't happen.

Again, congrats and well done.
I'm off to hide for a couple of months. :-P

I wonder if you'll have the courage to play proper football next
season. A year of anti-football, nut gnawing tedium and for what?
LOL.

Football won tonight. GIRUY.

I agree with that.  Finishing with seven straight wins was a killer.
Celtic deserve to be champions.  Well played.

Nice one Biz,very decent of you.Think your being a bit hard on your 
team,theres a few players in your side that still make me nervous when we 
play.I just think you have had the UEFA on your mind more (which fair play 
to you was a hell of an achievement to get there) so in no way has it been a 
bad season in reality for you (still think youll win the cup final) .

Ok now ive been nice can i also add a GIRUY now? ;-)

Nice to see you finally "come out" (your words not mine mate)  Oh, and I'd
hardly call going to the big brother newsgroup "hiding for a couple of
months".

Get it right up ye.  There can be only one, Celtic FC.
