Absolutely it left a bitter taste in my mouth and any Celtic fan that says otherwise is lying to themselves. We should have 19 banners hanging right now instead of 17...how could that not make you bitter?
But that's not to take away from how grateful I was as a fan for 2008. That was an amazing year and wouldn't trade those memories for anything. Will proudly remember that era until my final breaths...might even forgive Ray one day. MAYBE.
Apparently its you I who are clear about this and everyone else loved what happened AFTER the title.
This has gone on so long its absurd now. 6 and counting years soon and it will take awhile longer at best. We will have to have EVERYTHING go right to get a title by 2018 so its one more in ten after 08. But I think I loved the era? Oh ok.
As I said, the HOPE has to be that this era gave way to a better era but DA is going to have to nail draft picks, trades and free agents like never before.
I'm sorry, but I'm way too old to subscribe to this kind of thinking.
I've endured too many truly gawd-awful seasons with various sports teams that I learned a long time ago to just appreciate and be entertained by how the story unfolds each season.
So we fell short in several near-misses in the last 5 years. That still made them memorable and exciting. The pain of 2010's loss still hurts, but the pride in how they made that run is still there as well. Remember the pain, but remember the good as well.
Even a miserable season like this one is full of interesting things.
