They'll never splash serious cash.
It's not in their DNA.
Biscuit tin mentality is ingrained.

I'm glad others mentioned it, when posters commented on worrying about them flexing their muscles financially.....they can't......thats it......this is as high as they go.
They spent big on Brenda, they spent big loaning in PR7 and Musonda, you know the 2 guys who dont play....they spent big on N'tcham on Simunovic on Kouassi on Sinclair, nearly all of these guys possibly bar N'tcham are worthless now and weighing heavy on their astronomical wage budget.
They depend on CL revenue just to break even (which has now become harder to achieve) they cannot go out and spend their money which they probably do have because it would be unsustainable to pile it on top of the dead wood within their club. Either way it doesn't matter, you can only attract a certain level of player to Scotland. For them to bring in better players to pull ahead of us, they need a mass clear out first which isnt easy when players are earning £30k pw for the next 2 and a half years.
This is what happens when you roll the dice and get it so horribly wrong, a mistake I hope we will never make while now under a DOF structure, all the while what have they done? Whored out their "best" assets, while allowing the media and "bloggers" to keep the spotlight on big bad Rangers, while had the roles been reverse we would be galloping off into the sunset, their inferiority complex has had them looking over their shoulders howling "SEVCO" at every opportunity.
55 will come, and it will be the sweetest of them all.

Well said mate, you are right yhrn cant just keep signing 3/4 million pound players in the 30k a week, more so now that it will be harder to get into the champions league.

To get them to worry about us we have to beat them.

The mhanks I know aren't worried in the slightest, why would they be to be honest? They still believe they will win the league comfortably.
If we flip scenarios and it was us who had won 4 trophys out of 4, were clear of the mhanks, had lost twice domestically in 80 games, would we be worried?
There is no doubt whatsoever we are playing much better and we are more equipped to deal with them, however lets not get ahead of ourselves.

It's not as simple for them to spend this summer as it was in 2016
The new champions route to get into the CL is horrendous, to the extent where seeing Scottish representatives in the group stages in the future will be a very rare occurrence.
If anything, they'll need to cut back.
Wouldn't be surprised it Rodgers left in the summer, and their downsizing began with a Jack Ross or Return of the lemon.
Their wage bill is 100% unsustainable.

I've got to disagree with this. We're playing great football. We bring that to this game we should win. If we get into a battle it'll be 50/50.

It wouldn’t be up there with Helicopter Sunday.
It would be several notches higher than that, given the comparative starting points at the start of this season, and them having had a 14 point lead on us at one point.

Fair enough. Helicopter Sunday will never be beaten for me just for the way it happened. Saying that I will celebrate more than I ever have when we win 55!

My only worry worry for us is defensively. We can't go into this game with Halliday at left back, no harm to him, he'll do his best but he's not as good as John, even a half fit Wallace.
I also worry about Martin up against Dembele or thumbheid.
Hopefully we take our chances and these worries are taken care of.

Don’t get me wrong Helicopter Sunday was one of the best days of my life. Was the day after my birthday so meal and cinema trip already lined up for the evening and it turned a great weekend into an outstanding and very drunk one.
But, given how far we dropped in 2012, and the season that mob had last season, gap in squad quality at start of this season and the lead they had this season, winning the 2017/18 title would definitely top HS.
That said, if we do it, it may be similar, and certainly down to the final weekend.
Yes this would top helicopter Sunday for me, it would be epic on so many levels.
SO..... from 30 points behind last season to only 6 (or 9) this, we have achieved feck all? If you cannot see the difference on the park I suggest a wee visit to spec savers. We might not have achieved a trophy just yet but it is coming.

We must not become over confident at our opportunity to beat the bheasts. We are playing excellent football at the moment, I'm an old boy now and I can't remember a player with a left foot like Goss,he reminds me of Jim Baxter (you can't say better than that).Young Docherty looks like he's living the dream and can only get better. Remember the Edu last minute goal, the Wilkins volley and the Ehiogu goal, the good times are returning after many years in the gloom. As Levein said (albeit in different circumstance) the Natural Order of things is returning. Never miss a chance to remind the orcs, We are the People.

My eye prescriptions fine mate cheers.
I don’t want to get excited about finishing any number of points behind them and until we achieve trophies I struggle to see why we should revel in them being concerned about us.
That’s the point I was making, thought it was pretty obvious.
I’m happy with the progress we are making but if it doesn’t ultimately lead to trophies it doesn’t mean anything.
You saying “it’s coming” although you seem to see that as a statement of fact it quite frankly isn’t, I’ll wait until it happens before I start to gloat.

Hearts got in their faces and pumped them 4-0. We done it the second half at the piggery and should've won.
First you win your individual battles then our quality in the final third should shine...hopefully!

This can only work to our advantage. Brenda specialises in capitulating under pressure, I can envisage the timplosion right now. If we can get our home form up to scratch then for once the split will actually be useful.

Out with my watering can soaking the steps at the Celtic Park reception just now so that the game gets called off as 'Patsy's life could be in danger

The difference between this year and last season is that Toral and Hyndman that themselves coming up to an old firm name, whereas Docherty and Goss seem right up for it.

I’ve yet too meet a Tim in real life or work who is worried about losing the league. While they have been honest in acknowledging our vast improvement they still think we lack a mental edge in the bigger games citing Hibs and the last game at the piggery where they feel they were rank and for the taking. I don’t mind this though as there is still an element of underestimating us. What does worry me though is the amount of threads on here and stuff on social media where some of us are getting completely carried away. History has taught me the more cocky you get the far higher chance you end up with egg in your face. I’m looking forward to this one more than any I can remember for a while as we definitely have the players to beat them now. But do do they. So I don’t think anyone will be getting pumped here think it will be close

That's what hibs have done to us twice this season. This team needs keep its discipline and play our game.

That's it, they always raise their game for us, especially when we are on form, due a break this time though surely, we're playing well enough.

At least Hyndman turned up, and to be fair played rather well at the Piggery, as did the rest of the team.

An old sgt major used to shout at me
"Keep it simple stupid"..
And thats how we beat the tramps..
5 across the midfield,
Press their defence when they have the ball, forcing an error or they have to punt up the park.
Tight at the back.
Morales and windass will wreak havoc in their back line, their sloppy, slow, low in confidence and a VERY nervous keeper.
Press them high and put them under pressure from the first minute.
My biggest concern is the fckn ref, ill put money on it now we get a red card and or a pen against us...need to be on our toes
