Knowing your limitations

1188

Rumour has it that prior to their play-off second leg against Hamilton Accies last season Terry Butcher spoke to his Hibs players about their prospective lap of honour.  It was fatal.  Two goals up from the first leg away from home, he thought the job was done.  Hibs were relegated despite having fourth highest wages in the division.

Scottish football is more competitive, healthier, than most would give it credit for.  As yesterday’s Scottish Cup Final demonstrated.  Two towns, emptied of most able bodied adults, urged their team onto what would be an historic win, whichever way it went.

John Hughes is a very modest man.  He speaks highly of his peers and considers himself someone who does the obvious things thoroughly.  Maybe knowing your limitations is the first step to achieving greatness.  I was delighted for him.  His predecessor at Inverness, Terry Butcher, flattered to deceive.

  1. Financial ruin will occur as night follows day after this result ; the pot chasers will desert to leave the nutter based hard-core.

    The fans are clearly away with the fairies and lapping up the media guff.

     

     

    If they didn’t know it nearly the entire team will be released through contract expiries! I think so far only kenny Miller has taken up the option of a further year!

    You couldn’t script this better – long line of incompetent leaders, a sub culture which expects the best but has no idea how to get it, an Omni shambles financially, 2 ex players making shi* managers, couldn’t win the championship, millions and millions already spent, mcmullet leaves motherwell and they trounce sevco, there is no spin on this other than they are shi*.an ex manager is still being paid with money they don’t have.

  9. The result doesn’t matter to The Sevco fans as they will have had a crackin’ day out, getting to a ground they have never been to and getting to play with a big team from the big league.

     

     

    They must have really enjoyed the occasion as who knows when they will get a chance to play at this level again .

    Hoopy Birthday cultsbhoy, no too much jelly and ice cream noo!

  15. imagine if you will a Celtic player assaulting an opposition player on the field of play by kicking and punching him Now how would you expect the SMSM to react? Just how will wee Nicola deal with ‘shame game 2’. Does she demand a crisis meeting? We wait in expectant anticipation for action to be taken by police Scotland. Assault is assault be it on the high street or a playing field. Perhaps it isn’t deemed to be quite as serious as walking to a game with some like minded people.

    One of the things that annoyed me most in 2012 was when they tried to parachute Sevco into the second tier with the spin being that the TV companies would accept them being “away” for one year.

     

    That was it. There was no thought whatsoever that they might not go up first time.

    Sevco with the second biggest budget in Scottish football

     

     

    Fail to win the lower league diddy cup despite three attempts

     

     

    Finish third in the championship ….and fail to take advantage of the safety net

     

     

    All whilst running up debt and failing to maintain their stadium and training ground ….

     

     

    Scarcely a better three years could have been envisaged by any CFC bhoy

     

     

    Whyte, Green , McCoist etc …great job !!!
