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.

  6. Sites even 5he so called Shame game never had fans invade the pitch or mounted police on the pitch to prevent a possible riot among fans.

     

     

    So we had a flare set fire to the pitch. We had players fighting on the pitch. We had fans invade the pitch. We had mounted police on the pitch.

     

    Shame game anyone?

     

    Or does this happen only when celtic are involved?

    2014/2015 – a recap

     

     

    Doubts and fears. Choked back tears.

     

    End seemed near.

     

     

    Faced down jeers. Found new gears.

     

    Eight points clear.

     

     

    Roared our cheers. Time for beers.

     

    More next year.

     

     

    Then Sevco sunk on Submarine Sunday.

     

     

    2014/2015

     

    What a beautiful season you were,

     

    you were, you were.

     

    What a beautiful season you were.

     

     

    Celtic forever.

  13. Spent an enjoyable day at the cinema with my wife and son.

     

     

    Was on twitter for updates

     

     

    Not good to burst out laughing during a disaster movie :)

     

     

    Not looked forward to sportscene as much as this for a while….

  14. lubo of the lamp on

    Must confess that I enjoyed that more than if we’d won the SC yesterday and I fear I’ll go on enjoying it for months and months and, well, all of next season really!!

    Cammy Bell is Buster Keaton at that first goal. Why???

    Spot on. It is also not a coincidence that Glasgow Warriors crowds have surged in the last 3 years, and radio shortbreid have suddenly treated rugby as our national sport.

     

     

    Expect more of the same and enjoy their pain. It is hilarious.

    The Locomotion No Promotion on again,coming to a jukebox near you soon

     

    Sexbomb has become 6-1 :))

    Sevco – the first team to finish third in a one horse race :-)

     

     

    I reckon that Weir & Warburton might have been on their way to Ibrox – probably lured by free shares in the upcoming GASL share issue. Oh dear…

  19. Just seen the first goal………..a howler. Give that boay a contract.

     

     

    On the Hun carnage at the end, I’m sure there’ll be a summit after that, eh!?

     

     

    Surely the ruling political party will do summit about them huns?

    Great to see the big polis man doing what they do best. Standing back when the going gets rough.

  23. Ok serious (maybe controversial) question..

     

     

    Would you have prefered to have won the Treble and the Huns came up

     

     

    Or

     

     

    (As happened) won the Double and have the Huns stay put.

     

     

    Tough one…. i’ve had so much fun today

     

     

    B-)

    Ooh, thank you for reminding me of that one.

     

     

     

    What was that American guy’s name who was going to buy them and save them but they chased him away? Wonder if he ever watches what’s happening to them and counts his blessings.

    To think they are still paying 3 managers (gardeners ) to get where they are today -oh my aching sides …

    Sevco have reached a plateau

     

     

    It’s all downhill from here

     

     

    Administration ? No benefit and leads directly to Liquidation

     

     

    Liquidation? No guarantee they would be invited to fill the gap
