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. Didnt realise the Scottish Junior Cup Final was today. No wait, I’m mistaken, its the Resurrected Relatives of William oan again.

     

     

    Deary me, they are murder!

     

     

    Well seem to be caught in the clasic dilemma of not quite knowing whether to stick or twist.

    They’re doubling up on him, that’s why Ferguson is in team

     

     

    ………………..

     

    I’ll tell ye where Ferguson should be.Sitting in some GAA club cheering on Motherwell.;-)

  3. Lots of players potentially playing their last game for their club/company. Hoping some will disgrace themselves as their final act….

    If things go the way they are SSB is the one, heard Guidi asking Ian Barracliough in BT about all other clubs wanting Sevci up, just wish Barraclough had listened to Mark on SSB as they are all willing the tribute act back, if they are worrying about their jobs I would rather take my chances with Universal Jobmatch than Sevco anywhere near us

  8. ....PFayr supports WeeOscar on

    GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!

     

     

    Skanky deflection coupled with horrendous goalkeeping
