a blessing in disguise?

You said it's a blessing that you lost it because players will now probably stay to probably be in with a chance of maybe winning it next year............


Would it not just been better to win it this year?

of course it would have been better winning the league!...
however if it meant that the best players in our squad would still be wanting to stay in the team and prove themselves to everyone and win the league next year i would be happy with it. the celtic support are all united under Neil Lennon as boss and are liking the way things are going. He did very well taking his team to two cup finals and taking the league to the last day of the season. of course it was disappointing losing the league and the cup final to rangers, but we have improved beyond ANYONES expectations and albeit we havent won anything yet i think majority of the support have been 100% behind the team this year and that was clear on the last day of the season at paradise

This current Celtic group are just beginning to form and will want to drive forward next season. If we had won the league it would still be the same. They know that they are privilaged to be part of a special club with special supporters. Who knows, if we get into Europe in 2012/3 and the squad gets strengthened even more, we could achieve at the MON levels. Hail Hail

Yes but would they not have stayed anyway had they won the title for the chance to play champions league football next season? Let's be honest that's the reason why most if not all of the aforementioned players joined Celtic for in the first place..

im not sure if they would have or not.
but im sure the main reason for people joining either Celtic or Rangers is getting noticed by teams in England and trying to make it big by using us as a stepping stone

for the younger players anyway IMO

No chance mate they're there to play on the biggest stage of them all. I couldn't see any of them passing up their first taste of champions league football for a relegation fight in England.. Now though I'm not so sure with Celtic only in the Europa. I can't understand why you think losing the league is a blessing I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one m8.

well there was some serious speculation with kayal and izzy going to man united, liverpool, arsenal etc etc. so im sure that would tempt them quite a bit
and we will have to, though i feel like i could have worded it a bit differently, it sounded a lot better in my head when i was posting it earlier
(i know the smileys dont work yet, but you know what i mean)

Losing is sometimes a victory, remember that in these sad times.........

I like the fact that victory is ALWAYS victory. Brilliant.....!

nah there is no blessing in disguise, just a cop out.

nothing more you can add to it really
