crucible 0 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 And why does this not show on the UEFA website?Surely an oversight that needs clarification? It needs no clarification it is fact, uefa is what it is not the best. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,744 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Sorry to be a pedant, The longest unbeaten League run ever is 62 games between 1915-17 - a record held by celtic, Morton also went 25 wins in 63/64. Edited to add; As can be seen in the case of celtic these are wartime years, I don't understand why celtic can add war time years to their records and we don't. Which records? They cannot add titles, as long as these were nationwide titles. Hence, our League Titles during the WWII are not included. It depends on whether the WWI leagues were actually carried out though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I doubt the gulf is much more than DA's team to the rest of the SPL (bar Celtic) in his third season, and far less transfer fee wise... No matter how much the perceived gulf, Division one players are still in the top 1000 players in the country, they know how to play, they are very organised and how much better can the top 100 say, be? The cost of things always goes up exponentially when going for the higher percentiles of quality, the laws of diminishing returns always runs true. You can pick up a Chateau Haut Brion 2010 en premieur for £650 a bottle and still have to professionally store it for 10 years before drinking it. It gets 100/100 on Wine Spectator. Or you can pay £12-£20 for a more ordinary Bordeaux which gets 90/100 and you can drink it straight away. You might even prefer it - and you never know if the more expensive one has been corked or otherwise tainted. There are plenty of lob-sided leagues in the world but only one team has ever won every game and that was a long time ago in an 18 game season. Had this exact bottle in London in October at a wine tasting. It's New World, American counterpart blew it away at half the price. Not even close to being worth the retail price, kind of like modern day footballers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki shows Celtic having won 32/38 games in 15/16 and 27/38 in 16/17. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1915–16_in_Scottish_football http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1916–17_in_Scottish_football Does that mean their run of 61 wins was uninterrupted, and everything either side of that, they lost or drew? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinker 887 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I should pay attention more. It's the thread that's been side-tracked not you. The topic is winning streaks. That's the record we're gunning for. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
