There seem to be a lot of people at Ibrox determined to re-invent the Scottish Cup.
They released a t-shirt the other day calling themselves “Scottish Cup Champions”, a phrase I’ve never heard before. Scottish Cup winners, yes, but champions?
Several of their players have repeated the same message.
The latest of them is Morelos, who posted a picture of himself with the trophy he didn’t play any real part in winning with some Spanish underneath it. But prominent is the word “champions”.
He didn’t even bother to mention that it was not the domestic league prize that he was holding in the picture. It’s as if Ibrox just wants to be associated with that word, even though it’s usually reserved for those who actually win the title.
It’s a little desperate, don’t you think?
It’s a little like the way they clung onto the Old Firm thing; all it serves to do is have people remind them that in fact they are living in the past and hanging on too tight to days gone by.
The number of their players who have used this word – and that it appears on official merchandise – shows that the instruction to do so comes from the top of the house.
And that’s just bizarre, isn’t it?
Do their fans think this is a great idea, or are they embarrassed by it as they were by the Old Firm thing? As they have been by other pronouncements out of the club’s PR department lately?
There are people inside Ibrox who have definitely lost touch with reality, but this is hardly unusual for that place. It’s this new tendency they have to hang onto the bottom rung that is new, and hilarious for the rest of us.
No, Fred The Ned, your team are not champions. That would be Celtic.
You don’t get to abuse that word or to change the meaning of it, even if your club’s merchandising arm thinks it has a way of cashing in.
I guess by this logic they are “Runners-up Champions” in the league. Still not as daft as their “We are the peepul” when even the dogs in the street know they are the Establishment club, about as far from the people as you can get.
Old Firm F.C 2012 thickos one and all.
Just jealous of us being 11 in a row Champions
Congratulations must go to St Johnstone. Double Champions last season, eclipsing the parvenu upstarts at Aye Broke.
Well thems can’t have it all ways.
A little desperate? James you truly are a master of understatement…
Funny as the term is maybe we should give them a break, maybe they’re just excited at winning the Scottish Cup for the 1st time, they are only 10 remeber it is actually not bad to have won a second major trophy in that time ????
scotlands sevco media shame are the guilty ones . their refusal to call out the same club nonsense is a disgrace to journalism and insulting to the creditors robbed of payment.
Hilarious if they aren’t pissing in each others mouths they are declaring themselves champions ???
Lol looks like their PR department have been hanging around with the tories with publicity like that.
FAKE NEWS.
Put mad Boris into the washing machine with The Donald and out pops a sevco fan or a member of their board.
Hanging around with Tories in public toilets you mean? Lol
They have probably had castoff produce tons of that with Europa league champions on it
So it’s cheaper to just change it to
Scottish cup champions
Less letters to rub off and iron back on
I think you’re probably right mate.
Nobody says ‘Scottish Cup Champions’.
They were probably planning a shirt with ‘Europa League Champions’ on it.
But they can’t do that because um, that’s Eintracht Frankfurt LOL!
WATP= We Are Toilet People !!!!!
If that Klan mob want action from uefa for their lavvy adventures, i want action for the lack of Duffel coats on sale when we played Bodo away…Stupid hun cunts should be reported to social services for taking their weans into that kinda heat without being properly prepared for the obvious,but then again, they don’t do common sense do they?!
Champions of Feck all, they don’t know the meaning of Champions and they showed that last year when they recked Glasgow, while ‘celebrating’.
They should have added ‘Petrofac Cup Champions’.
What an achievement that was.
New shirts to follow:
‘Almost Simply the Best’
‘Probably the best Europa League Runners-Up in the world’
If you can define a moron, morelos fits the picture.
Sevco simply the filth!!!!
It’s the hun way!! Like when under Brendan we hammer them 4 out of 5 and in the drawn game ” we outplayed them could be 3 or 4″ this was not just the orcs but the players of sevco! Strange weird are the poison, this is their code for thinking they should be!! Ha ha they really are damaged by Celtic dominance and it’s been 22 years mostly of it!! Poor sods they let oldco die in an age of internet banking! They didnt give a toss! So is it any wonder they pull these stunts shameless are the huns tho they been enabled to be from oldco to sevco! By brigadoon society as we all know But lurking huns CELTIC ARE THE CHAMPIONS AND WILL BE FOR YEARS A D YEARS TO COME FOREVER IF WE WANT TO BE RRALLY!???? THERE BE NO MORE GHOST LEAGUES TO WIN NOW WHICH YOU WERE GIFTED A D YIU ALL KNOW IT TO! GOING BE CELTIC DOMINATION ALL OVER AGAIN THO IT BE ER EVEN ENDED!????
Call them Old Firm FC and nothing else. Get Celtic divorced from that horrible image. Keep referring to them by that title and see them squirm. Very few folk in this country could have told you which political party in Ireland was associated with the IRA until Paisley brainwashed it into them. Make it that they will be synonymous with the OF and no one else.
