    “Their first game was a terrible spectacle with  the ball suffering an incredible amount of abuse” 

    Not much changed in Scottish football then.

    That's a brilliant quote from William Dunlop, showing even back then football was a game that had some great characters 

    Now we are probably playing the most creative and skilled football in our 150th year, and at least the ball itself is not taking the same abuse from our current players..

    And at no time was it implied or taken to task officially that there may have been obvious sectarian or even racist issues in targeting  a foreign player in Scotland for a political,(as in seeming sensible and judicious in the circumstances).minded football agenda by the press and media. 

    That is what annoyed me the most.

    But thankfully Gerrard, Defoe and his other team mates and advisors steered him through it when a reasonable  man, especially a good family man, would probably have thought "fuck this, I'm out of this cesspit".

    Wee hero who has become a greater player and already a man of huge stature in our history.

    My wife is English and takes no interest in my football habit, Was in the garden this morning. We've been selling some of the old good stuff in the garden in recent months to buy better old good stuff for the garden.

    There's a stone gnome bird feeder behind the big oak tree which came with the property, probably 30-40  odd years old and quite nicely weathered. Gnomes not our idea of classic garden furniture, so we measured its' height for sale on the local internet market site. Height was 55 cm. 

    My wife said to me "Will you remember that ?" 

    She spent the £28 we got for it straight away on a stupid (she said cute) thermoset plastic chicken planter thing which will soon annoy me more and more. 

    I was content with that. Happy days.  

     

     

     

    PFA Scotland team of the year

    A poll where many of the players would have allegiances to cellic (or other teams) which would put huge biases on the vote. 

    We still done well,and probably just reflects how many of our enemies play for the other teams.

    A percentage check of the votes would be interesting, showing how many did not vote for the obvious candidates.

    At the end of the day though. all our players did what they had to do this season, all that matters, every one a player of the year as a team.
