Hildy 0 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 6 5 would be embarrassing Why? Why do we accept 1-0 unquestioningly and view a rare 6-5 possibility as embarrassing? Every one of us would love to see a 6-5 result no matter which order the goals came in. Instead of dwelling on defensive frailty, we could maybe applaud attacking brilliance. We want to be entertained and a 6-5 win would be highly entertaining. If a 1-0 win isn't embarrassing, neither is 6-5. Who amongst us has seen a professional game of football that ended 6-5? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing we won't be embarrassed with a 1-0 win so a 6-5 win shouldn't be an embarrassment either. Much as we expect professionalism from managers, as fans we should be able to live with - and enjoy - any game which is decided by the odd goal in eleven. It would be talk of the Scottish football steamie for weeks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had more 3-2 and 4-3 games to experience, we might actually start to enjoy football again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Celtc 4 3 is a world away from beating Cowdenbeath 4 3. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is not. the pleasure at the 4th goal going in would be the exact same at that minute. Yes people say that it would be better against Celtic but at the very minute the feeling would be the same. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes people say that it would be better against Celtic but at the very minute the feeling would be the same. Just to prove this I remember the year we beat Aberdeen to the league on the last day of the season. I was just as happy as almost all the times against Celtic. I must admit Helicopter Sunday will probably never be equalled but that is because of the emotion in the last few minutes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 That's hardly comparable with my example. Maybe it's just me that feels joy in degrees depending on who we are playing and when. If Cowdenbeath were the second best team in scotland then sure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
