Age group/worst times

Its funny reading some peoples bad times being clyde and artmedia when you can remember them dong 9 in a row just kinda puts everything into perspective a little more

 

Rangers. doing 9 in a row ,and people moan on here when celtic won 3 in a row ,doesnt add up .

 

Age 49
I seem to remember the late 70s at the end of the Stein era. Dalgleish was gone and players like Burns and Aitken were not really established.
Although we did alright in domestic things there was some disasters in Europe. Does anybody remember getting stuffed by the likes of Grasshopper Zurich and Young Boys of Berne (or something like that).

The Standards were a lot less and everybody just accepted that England was the place to be if you wanted decent football.

 

18 - when I was young enough to know about football we never won anything, that was the worst time

honestly i've got to laugh at the people saying the strachan years

 

16
so i dont got alot of experience so ima blame it on WGS

 

pre fergus mccann was the worst. its worrying when people say the first time we won 3 titles in a row since the stein era is a bad time.

wether we won or not last season were still the dominant force in scattish football. i can remember were 4th if we were lucky

 

Im 20 and it has to be der Hun's 9IAR. Folk that are saying the strachan years need to get a grip ffs, we won 3 titles!

 

Feel * gratefull then if that is the worst Celtic memory you have

 

I spent my teens watching the huns get 9 in a row. Those were bad times indeed, although it made it all the sweeter when we beat them. Some great one-off memories.....remember big Malky Mackay:bbpd::bbpd:

 

I'm 21 and I have to say now. My old man even thinks now - he says at least there was something special about the early nineties, with the fans really united etc.

 

20 Strachans last year.

 

23 - i'd say the 90's even though i was too young to understand what was happening at the time.

 

Exactly what this bhoy said

 

Born in 1989 and definitely 1990-1997.

 

45, the late eighties to mid nineties, * was that a depressing time for our fans, The Huns spending millions, Souness/Smith and his brigade winniing everything, until our savior fergus, and a little known doctor called venglos brought us out the darkness and into the light, and left us with the best present the club has ever had
one Henrick Larsson.

MON, WGS have delivered the best years we have seen since the sixties, we should be thankfull for what we've had, and hopefully big Mogga will deliver the same,

hail, hail,

 

It was Wim Jansen that signed Henrik.

Dr.Venglos signed Lubo.

 

Leave him alone Minty, i'm sure he is suitably embarrased about it.:icon_mrgreen:

 

Spot on, except for who signed Larsson!!

To the people that didnt live through the 90's, you are very lucky people and you should be happy to be living through a purple patch. Yes, things can get alot worse that loosing a European match!!

 

I'd be more embarrassed about missing out the second s in embarrassed. :icon_mrgreen:

 

Interesting to see the poll results here, regarding ages. I see 14-25 has the lions share of the vote.

I myself am a slightly more elderly 32. I started going to games around 1992, and one of my most abiding memories of that time was "The Last Day Of The Jungle", when we beat Dundee 2-0. I also vividly remember losing the Coca Cola Cup to Raith Rovers in penalties at Ibrox, and one of the most surreal moments was watching the sadly deceased Justin Fashanu pull down his shorts and moon at the Jungle whilst turning out for Airdrie.

I was only a young guy then, and you could say the results and success on the park were non existent. In fact it took until the cup final of 1995, when van Hooijdonk scored against Airdrie, to resolve that.

But do you know what, although our team was *, our fans were second to none. We used to go to away games at Easter Road, Starks Park, Tannadice, and it's not like now when you expect a victory. We didn't even expect a draw most of the time, we expected a defeat. But we sang our hearts out in great numbers, the favourite was "always look on the bright side of life, na na, na na na na na na", remember that?

Now we have a new generation, dare I say it the guys who Charlie Nicholas rightly or wrongly derided as the kind of guys happily tucking into their £4 portion of * chips whilst taking breaks to sing "The Fields of Athenry", a lament about the famine. They are the Nike generation, who know nothing but success, and think Celtic FC have a * given right to win every game they play. They get angry and deride the manager, the players, after one result.

They are, for better or worse, the new breed.

But they are there, filling the ground, they are Celtic fans as much as me.

Yes, their expectations are different, but that comes with each passing generation. I wasn't there in 1967, the pinnacle of our club. Some of you guys weren't there in 1992, 1993, the absolute low.

We are all Celtic fans, it doesn't matter at the end of the day.

Hail Hail
