Re: What's fun?

Begging for Championships is a little too much. It's just that the Celtic
fans including myself have had a long, very long period of time where we've
been uncompetitive. There were a couple years when Toine was here there was
a glimmer of hope. That quickly evaporated when we became the 3 point
shooting team of the League. That doesn't work. I have had the pleasure of
the Golden Celtic years from Cous on up to Bird. So I'm not likely to lose
the tradition attitude. I hope we don't put so much pressure on Ainge to
improve that he does it haphazardly.
