It's ironic that we've won the league due to other sides not winning! The story of the season.

 

Seems a hollow victory to me this one. 

The last time In the Championship we won the league due to The Rangers beating Hibs at ER. 

Similarly to now it was incidental as we were already streets ahead on points. 

Dont see what your point is tbh.

Job done, not been the best of seasons, but the main objective done , so well done.

 

let the rebuild begin

Right bunch of dour faced miserable depressing buggers in our support.  Can't even enjoy us getting back up first time of asking.

 

Champions!

Aye was bumping his gums along the lines of wanting hearts back in premiership, with added financial bonus etc, 

But didn’t mention they were happy to lose over £100k when they voted against us   As much as I loved going there I’m never setting foot in the place again. 

 

I agree but the temptation will far outweigh the principal for most.  A lot will depend on when the fixture is played and if we are off to a flyer etc etc.

Itll be an easy decision if Robbies manager also tbf

Every time we've slipped up this season, our so called rivals have slipped up as well. We've won a very poor championship.

Isn't that how every league everywhere in the history of football has been won?

We've been on the other side of that coin many, many times. "If only we'd beaten so and so..." How often have we had a chance and slipped up? Happens almost every season. It happened this year in the LC and SC as we could have had a great chance of winning either the way the other ties panned out. This season we basically did what Celtic have been doing for years - we won a very poor league by being more consistent than the rest and winning the bigger games when it mattered.

Better than losing a fantastic championship.

Reality,this season was about getting promoted.

 

We have done it,without much fuss.

Our football has however been dire.

 

 Robbie isnt the one to lead us next season.

Especially if we swap places with them. Although I'd like Hamilton and County to go down as two of the clubs that acted the worst last season, Killie can be annoying against us so I won't be devastated if they go down.

A very important point - all spent on more worthwhile things like bog roll or channeled into our own team instead.

Probably because we basically won it on October 16th 2020. At least we did in the minds of those of us who weren't crying ourselves to sleep over imaginary stories of Raith Rovers winning all their 5 million games in hand.

Only if you count tinpot league as trophies. For me, it's as significant as the Festival Cup.

Kind of my point. We won it months ago despite playing boring eye bleeding football for months on end.

I didn't say it was a trophy worth winning. But we haven't won a Festival Cup or East of Scotland Shield or equivalent in 9 years.

It will be tragic, but not surprising, if the club bring out merch celebrating something that we shouldn't have been in in the first place.

This isn't a new phenomenon on here, we got to a Cup Final only a few years ago which has been erased from the memory and we didn't deserve to be there anyway because we didn't play anybody. 

[cosanostra]

The sooner we forget about this shitey season, the better.

No celebration required.

Correct. 3 fixtures to fulfil and nothing else. Start removing dead wood as soon as possible.

Pretty much.

The vermin game was pretty much the sole highlight. Actually, the Dundee home game at the start.

Apart from that, mostly average to terrible.

At the risk of being slightly embarrassed again by my declining memory what final was that? 

 

But at least I am doing my best to get the thread about today's trophy triumph into double figures in pages numbers.

[Guest ToqueJambo]

Just 3? I like goals and we've scored 3 or more in 11 games (Scored more than 5 goals 4 times which could be a record?)

 

So that plus the Hibs game makes 12 games I genuinely enjoyed. Although I also like the odd tense 1-goal win and the ones against Dunfermline, Dundee and Caley stand out. So I'll go with 15 total in all comps.

Thanks for proving my point, it's been erased from our short term history because the Devil incarnate was in charge.

Ah of course. The game we gave Celtic their treble treble. I was there. My fading memory is my friend.

Not an unexpected outcome. Nevertheless very glad we can put this season behind us and look forward to challenges ahead. 

[Rooster20]

Glad its over and happy that we were never really close to missing out. Time to build for next year.

I fully agree.  Would love to see less than 100 Hearts there and a crowd of around 12,000.

 

And Hearts to thrash them.

Do we now keep playing or best team to give them more time to blend for the last few games or blood some youth and avoid any injuries to top players - in view of poor form I think we need to go with best team with maybe the odd introduction

Some of the young guys are on loan but I’d expect at least McGill to get some minutes.
