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.

    After an self imposed exile.i decided to ,tonight,to give my view on today’s events.

     

    YSSSSS.

     

    I think after today’s results ,Sevcos support will fall away dramatically ,this can only be good for our young supporters as they will ,hopefully,not be subjected to the bigotry / hatred as we have been.

     

    I truly believe that we have reached a watershed today,let this new club develope as they will,without the support of the deceased club.If they reach out to the vermin they will go the same way.

     

    Tonight for the first time I truly believe the scum are dead.OUR DAY HAS COME.

    Adequately explain the two successive non penalty decisions in the last two ICT games mad the conspiracy theories ( as you put it ) may be put to rest

     

     

    As for today …Sevco were crap …

  7. My friends in Celtic,

     

     

    As many have alluded to I look forward to an emergency summit to discuss this game of shame 2.

    Sipsini, dont listen to Thunder Road you get stuck in about the hun monkey’s. They have not been punished at all, never mind enough.

    Agreed,

     

     

    Quite simply, Incompetence and Poor standards.

     

     

    Not a conspiracy against Celtic.

    I know not your area of expertise :-)

     

    but when do you think Mr Moshni will be arrested ?

     

    And cited by FTSFA, for a not proven verdict

     

     

    Incidentally, I want to know from PL why we could only score 2 against a team which is only 3 years old

     

     

    Hail Hail

    I like the administration theory.

     

     

    I haven’t met a Celtic fan in real life, hardly even on CQN who conforms to the “four times a year theory” mind you I don’t know any Celtic fans that phone Radio Clyde either.

     

     

    Today ( and Thursday ) was karma though. karma for football and all the Celtic fans that posted that Sevco were doing it all wrong, from day one of the journey.

     

     

    They had the chance to make it a new club, when they started in Div three, but with the indecent haste to play in the same League as us, Rangers nemesis they blew it.

     

     

    Celtic should have banned them before they died, and as for Sevco they could be Leeds Utd or Sheffield, and we need never suffer their inaugural appearance, at CP.

    Would it need to be a full blown liquidation? for as you say if he controls the assets then he wont relinquish. I cannot see him “invest” given todays events.

  16. The taxi driver who usually takes me to the airport on a Monday is a big sevconian. He tells me that no promotion would mean no season ticket next season. This from a guy who has went home and away for 3 seasons. He tells me it’s the same for his mates….will pick and choose games.

     

     

    Also now has major doubts about King and has heard of the split between King and 3 bears.

     

     

    I expect Lee Wallace to be sold and possibly McCulloch to be boss not McCall. The only way they can be promoted next season is reconstruction otherwise the best hope will the playoffs.

     

     

    I can see a split at the EGM between King and 3 Bears.

     

     

    The fun is set to continue for a good bit longer.

     

     

    It’s a pity they couldn’t bring back the gardener for a sequel.

    Moshni should be arrested soon…he will thereafter probably be bailed to appear at a letter date

     

     

    Problem is the young Motherwell boy might get lifted too ….his push is an assault

  18. Robert88

     

     

    As sevco are so dire it is very dfficult even for MIBs to influence things.

     

    However, I’ve seen CT officiate a lot worse than he did today. Still an aboslute dumpling, full of his own self importance and very sleekit when he’s got us. Just my opinion

  19. Mind drifts to park’s statement of long, long history of victory.

    A decent manager with a minimum Sevco budget should get promotion

     

     

    However

     

     

    Their fans don’t do humility …..they will probably now do walking way …they wil struggle to keep the lights on ..

     

     

    All good

  23. BIG-CUP-WINNERS on

    League reconstruction who’ll be first to moot it ?

     

     

    Mark Guidi odds on favourite.

  24. I would think liquidation of this 3 year old club, would spell the end for any team that may want to take their place

     

    Mr Ashley, owns their intellectual properties, names, badges etc, therefore cannot buy kid on they have this with any new incarnation ?

     

     

    Benefit though, they will Never Never Never darken our doorstep again :-)
