tokyowalnut Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I can't believe anyone would want Celtic to win it. Aberdeen winning it, and us winning the championship would be brilliant for scottish football. A shot in the arm it needs. Any financial damage that can be done to the Old Firm is a good thing in my books. Not sure that Aberdeen can keep their running going, but we've been hearing that about us all season. Hearts and Aberdeen double, yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way out west jambo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Aberdeen win the league & Hearts win the Championship. Ugly sisters win nowt. Can only be a good thing.

busby1985 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Look at what has happened to rangers since we beat them to 2nd 2006. Yeah the impending doom that followed was obviously not as a direct result of us finishing 2nd but am pretty sure we nudged the enivitable further forward. Rangers lost out on the biggest prize fund Scotland had ever received if memory serves me well, 20 million Celtic pocketed due to us failing to qualify, that could be way wrong but that's how I remember it. If Aberdeen won the league and rangers never went up, Celtic and rangers would hit the panic button and the SPFL would have a serious problem on their hands. Falling crowds at Celtic park and ibrox, no European football at Celtic and no old firm games. As much as they spout out the tag line "Scotland needs a competitive league" everything is set up here for the exact opposite. I would love Aberdeen, hearts, hibs, Dundee United etc to challenge and potentially win the league. It would do wonders for the game up here but sadly, in my opinion, it will never happen unless we had a total wipeout from SPFL boardroom to ex old firm sympathisers and beyond to media broadcasters.

If that happened in England, it would be all the chat of the greatest league in the world bla bla bla. It's a mentality in the Scottish media that needs to change. Good luck to Aberdeen.

Anderson5 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I know a couple of Aberdeen fans who are desperate for us to win the Championship over Rangers. And likewise I would love to see them win the Premiership over Celtic. Anyone on here that would rather Celtic win the league is just coming across as bitter. And those same people will be moaning about the stranglehold Celtic hold over everyone else next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboHeriot Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Aberdeen winning it would be fantastic not only for the GIRFUY to Celtic, but also looking forward to next season. Assuming we go up, we would have 4 teams with ambitions to finish high up in the league. A weakened Celtic, Dundee United who are always up there, Aberdeen who will have just come off the back of a league win and the financial reward with that, and ourselves. Arguably Hamilton given their outstanding performances this season, although the departure of Neil may be detrimental. Sponsorship would definitely come and it would, in theory, be the most competitive premier league in a decade or so. I'll be looking out for Aberdeen for the remainder of the season, and despite people suggesting they will fall away, their form suggests otherwise: 8 consecutive wins while conceding no goals is incredible form. If that shoe was on Celtic's foot, everyone would be declaring the league over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Totally agree. The Weegia would go into melt down over how the Scottish game is dying because Celtic didn't win the treble & Rangers are still in the championship. That needs to change. The only way I see that happening is other clubs consistently winning the trophies, and that could start this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I know there is is a long way to go, and it won't happen but! If the impossible was to happen and Aberdeen were to go the distance and win the league,would it be a bad thing for scottish football in general! Ok it would be a one off and normal service would resumed next season,but a change would surely be welcome! Now I know first hand what like it is to suffer a successful Aberdeen team I'm based in the north east and if there is any hint of a winning team they are totally up themselves, wittering on about the Fergie years and o that guff,but a change would surely be a benefit! Maybe the Glasgow media would no be o that pleased,we us no reading the script in the championship and Aberdeen being a pain,but surely a change is needed! If the Sheep were to win the league, then I'd never hear the end of it I have a mate who's from up there and I'm sure he will be delighted to let me know all about it. So based on that I am routing on ICT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bindy Badgy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 if Aberdeen don't do it and Rangers come up then we might end up facing another 20-30 years of those two going head to head for the detriment of all others Another reason why I want Hibs to go up next season. The others being I want derbies and the club needs the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leisham38 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Any team out with the old firm and hibs would suit me especially in a season when we can't win it anyway My only interest in the SPL is hoping Aberdeen keep winning Celtic Park is half empty unless it's Champ League, without that crowd and the money they get from it we will enter a much more competitive SPL next season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 This has been a constant point of debate lately. Can`t remember word for word my feelings on another thread but unless there is a clear signal the wind of change is happening in scottish football for the long term , i don`t want that shower to win it, Celtic neither but them winning it hardly registers as they`ve won that many. There`s a good chance that if they won it , it would probably be a flash in the pan. Aberdeen are our closest rivals in terms of trophies and to want them to go ahead in titles is baffling? As others have said it has to be Hearts when we are in the spl. I don`t see why people would be happy for any other team to win the league just because it gets it up Celtic? I don`t see personal satisfaction in that unless its Hearts? Hearts have largely been at the forefront of challenging the OF out of the other clubs for nigh on 20 plus years , Aberdeen have been nowhere since their last challenge in the early 90s. For them to spring out and win the league would be bewildering. Give me Dundee Utd, Hamilton or some other club but not a rival like Aberdeen.

Getintaethem Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 A successful Aberdeen wouldn't automatically mean a reduction in attendances at Parkhead. I think the one horse race scenario is the biggest factor in their supporters staying away. If Aberdeen and United can continue their title challenge, gates will increase at all three grounds.

The old third force debate was never based on 100 year histories and is a shan debate in any case. Now there is a genuine potential of ending the boring age of OF dominance. Imagine instead having a debate about who is currently the FIRST force in Scottish football. Anything that can help in ridding Scottish football of this plague is welcomed by me.
