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.

At work offshore and it can be a brutal place when your team is as shite as the huns, everybody is giving the huns it tight and one is biting at everyone comment, he came out with the usual
“You’ll no be laughing when your wee shite clubs are missing the blue pound to keep them alive”
And quick as a flash a aberdeen fans shouts ” the blue pound couldn’t even keep rangers alive ” cue bedlam as everyone burst out laughing and he flys out the door in the usual hun rage. HH
Today makes up for some of the times we suffered.
Their financial projections for next year are fekked.
If Ronny gets his transfer targets in, we can look forward to a very good season.

Funniest thing I’ve seen in ages until Mohsni tried to surpass it with his behaviour.
Cut and paste of a comment and replies from the Guardian article in today’s sevplosion.
Interesting view at the end……

Don’t think Celtic will win 10 in a row. They could if they wanted it to, but I don’t think they’ll stick it out with the Scottish structure long enough. Lawell seems to making moves to get Celtic out of this hell.
Rangers are a presenting an irritating paradox for us. Yes, They’ve brought this on themselves on and off the pitch. But we also need the competition. Aberdeen gave it a stab, but I don’t they’ll have the resources to maintain this. Even if Rangers come up next year, it’s going to take them years to seriously challenge us. It’s not good enough, as far as the TV companies are concerned, to have the Old Firm fixture on the Scot Prem fixture list. They demand a title race between Celtic and Rangers.
Celtics future in this league is now in the balance.

It won’t be England. The Atlantic League is off the table as well.
But I can, as out of left field as this sounds, setting up as an MLS franchise. This paves the way for Rangers to join us at a later date.
But this would mean Celtic leaving the Scottish tent, but also the UEFA tent. The MLS has Canadian franchises. It will be interesting to see it they want to go transatlantic with their expansion, baring in mind the fanbases both Glasgow clubs have in North America.
The MLS going places more than Soctland is for sure.

Just on celtic underground twitter there. They’re concerned about Matt Lindsay’s whereabouts and welfare as he hasn’t tweeted since half time today.
Great day for humans
St Mirren Hibs and QOS will give them a run next year
The dark horse might be Morton. Would be good if they could get a couple of local businessmen to sponsor them.

I would hate to see Sevco suffer liquidation the way their predecessors, Rangers, did.
I would far rather see them slip down the divisions until they reach the bottom of the lowest league, suffering excruciating humiliation all the way……THEN disappear forever into the history books.
Then they will have suffered enough (mibbe).
Watching the after match stuff what did you make of Weir’s demeanour ?
He looked like a guy who had either just had a job offer recinded or his anticipated salary reduced.

I was talking to pals in the pub today and out forward the hypothesis that the authorities may prefer to help to engineer a route out of Scottish football for us rather than risk 10+ titles coming our way.
Even in mixed company this wasn’t dismissed as a possibility.

Stringer,
Interesting is a kind adjective. We aren’t going anywhere, least of all to the USA. We will play in Scotland. Why would America want us?
We can prosper in Scotland via the CL.

That was the old club………..
never have seen such comedy gold as the new huns walking away and their team is not fit enough to walk. The scrap at the end was just the icing on the cake. Cannot stop laughing.

That was someone else’s history that Charles bought in a boot sale
Mike Ashley has just lost out on a half million quid, poor ol’ divil, I feel sorry for him. What really bothers me though is will this set back mean, the retractible roof and the ol’Casino will not go ahead next year. Feel sorry for the Dallas Cowboys too, their link up with the Glasgow Cowboys looks likely to be further delayed as well.;

Seemingly Dave King is looking to appoint Jamie Raven as new manager of Sevco !

He means sevco. They haven’t been liquidated YET!!!
Why Would We Leave Scotland….Scotland is Our Country..We Are Champions of our Country…Glasgow is Our City…Glasgow is Green And White

I fekn know that….they’ve only been gon for a couple of years.
This is a perfect storm imo …
Players signed in 2012 … On 3 year contracts…
With a view of reaching the premiership…
90% wouldn’t get their lucrative contracts renewed as they wouldn’t be either fit for purpose or simply too old .
19 out of contract ….
The blacks moshnis ect…
Fresh clean slate for a manager to completely attract and build a squad good enough to compete …
Now ….
They will need to do same again except they won’t be able to attract a biton, Brown Virgil … That type won’t play in a didier league than the SPL .
They will need to overspend on has -beens to attract the orc on deals that if they do reach the top league won’t be good enough … On two or more year deals with incremental raises if promotion in gained …
Not allowing a manager to completely overhaul in 2016/17 season if they get up
Brilliant
Hail hail
Face sore laughing – Spent the day in Kilmarnock watching my son at Athletics – nipped back to the car, just in time to hear the 1st goal go in – beautiful day! Great journey home!
Oh how they deserved that!

SANDMAN SCHADENFREUDE SUNDAY SPECIAL PART 3
Wondering what those men of letters over on FollowFollow made of today’s exhibition by the inglorious planktoneers?
Wonder no more. For the magic of timfiltration brings the moment-by-moment blows to the Monkeys’ pride.
I do not apologise for the language – why, because they’re Huns; what else do you expect? (And it’s now after the watershed ;))

No they don’t. They look like the piss poor side that they are. We are f**king dreadful,

If we were somehow to pull off a miracle this afternoon, we’d get passed around the top league
like a rent boy at a gay orgy. A total shambles of a club on the pitch.

I know I’m not saying anything new but ricky foster is an abomination of a footballer.
Possibly the most comical player I’ve seen.

Foster gets into the box and falls over.
Bell gay-punches it into his own net.
Miller is still trying to control it from the first half.
Clark has just missed the ball from 4 yards out.
Boyd. Enough said.
You can do this for every player. In our most important game. They’re literally not even
good enough to be semi-pros. This Motherwell team finished 11th in one of the world’s worst leagues.
Their team is made up of guys from Alfreton and Solihull. And they’ve destroyed us without breaking sweat.
It’s hideous.

There’s no if’s or but’s about it. If King doesn’t demand a mass clear out then he is not
doing whats best for this club.
There’s no more than a handful of players in this squad that should be here next year.
The ones that have contracts who are shit… Tell them they have to find a new club.
Anything less and King is taking the f*cking piss out of us.

No excuses for McCall. In the end, every bit as clueless as Ally.

Weans read here. Please keep it away. Scumbags who need amouthful of carbolic soap.
Delaneys Dunky….Its Where we live Man…This Is Our City…Fked if am Moving…
Shows exactly what I know: for the first half hour of both games I thought they were going to batter ‘Well. The my wife pointed out that ‘Well always had an extra man at the back.
Once ‘Well got the passing game going they looked very, very good. None more so than McManus, Pearson and the midfield maestro, McDonald. Young Erwin looks like a player and so did Lassley.
I thought McCall might big up the flag incident and demand a replay. He didn’t and he gave us a reasonably accurate summary of events. It was Coisty and his prisoners on that board who did for them in the end. Revenge is a dish best served cold and this one has been in the fridge for 143 years.
Schadenfreude is not my cup of tea generally
However, today I am loving it
I just wanted us to win the league and them to fail to come up
What a brilliant season
I will sleep soundly with a smile on my coupon the night
