Brilliant!I know I shouldn't laugh at Cellik/Castle Doom,even Lennon but I'm finding it increasingly harder day by day(I must be sad but the whole debacle sort of gives me a nice warm feeling,you know?)So cruel and so funny at the same time.
Looking for Saints to take advantage of a complacent Blue Weegies tomorrow night at Ibrox...just have to find a way of making them complacent - or maybe we just need to mention Celtic at kick-off and while they are all laughing we manage to score a goal or two. Only kidding dear Celtic fans
And as already posted - I thought one of the St Midden goals against Celtic was top quality stuff (as was Saints third against Killie btw)
If you thought that was good then I would highly recommend going onto BBC Sounds and listening to Hugh McIlvanney talking/imterviewing them.Series of subjects-Ali and boxing/Horse-racing/George Best plus of course the three wise men of football-Busby,Shankly and Stein.Brilliant stories and recollections and McIlvanneys voice and use of language just enhance the telling.
Now it's all very well SPL clubs greasing The Blue Weegies path to the league title. But that's done now. We can stop being so helpful - pity the Saints of my affection failed to appreciate that last night. Never mind - it was only -1 that was added to the Goal Difference column. No change with the officials mind - as ever they can't see past the Ugly Sisters at home when they are playing 'diddy' teams - aye - the Roofe 'tackle' on Murray Davidson was a sending off - and you can se that Roofe knew it. Co-dhiù - same as it ever was
Callum isn't going to be complaining very loudly given we have just got Glenn Middleton (a Scotland Under-21 player) on loan from Rangers
As an ex-goalie I find it a bit rich to put a goal such as that scored by the Accies down as an own goal by MacGregor. The goalies job is to put his body in the way of shots and if it rebounds into the goal he can hardly be ‘blamed’ for it. That the shot might not have been going in is surely the outfield players good fortune that it went in off the keeper - he still had to direct it towards the goal/keeper as best he could. Calling it an own goal - nah. Just accept keepers are different and give it to the outfield player.
Ah OK - though there was talk in the commentary that the Accies goal would be an OG also as the shot (from a very narrow angle following MacGregor's save) was not actually on target but got deflected off MacGregors legs and in. Just looking now I see that it has not gone down as an OG - good. Would have been very tough on MacGregor.
