I would say our team of 25 years ago was considerably better than our current team. CONSIDERABLY better. Yes we normally beat them but it is hardly a given in every game.
Otherwise we would win the league every season and clearly that does not happen. Have a wee swatch at the teams that beat us in the season we went into admin. Or the teams that beat us when Eck replaced wee Dick. So the current, relatively poor, Gers team has a norm of pumping these teams (when was that exactly?) whereas the brilliant teams of the past had a norm of not pumping these teams?? That is some logic.
So if we lost in the past to tinpot teams it is years ago and seemingly does not count. If we lost recently they are tinpot teams and we should always beat them. Emmmm because we always beat them! In the past.
Anyway I think, as you do, that we will win the league next season after pumping all these tinpot teams!
