5 Facts, Findings And Thoughts About Another Cup Final Defeat
If you had read the cup final preview then you will probably have noticed that I called most of The Bad right.
What 5 things sprung to mind after the defeat? Read on and find out.
1) My loathing of the Skol/Dryburgh/Coca-Cola/CIS/Diddy Cup is today at an all time high. This hatred was born in the early 80’s when I remember McMoist scoring a hat-rick against and continued with Butcher diving for a pen and David Hay wanting to take his players off, Raith fecking Rovers, numerous early round defeats to Airdrie, Falkirk and other delightful provincial clubs. 14 wins and 14 defeats in finals. It’s a competition of abject misery and yesterdays team only followed previous and reverted to type.
Next season I want us to treat it with the contempt it deserves. We should sign 11 Costa Rican midgets, who are blind in one eye, have club feet and are riddled with rickets and play them. Mind you, they would probably still get to the final…..(and lose).
2) I’ve seen debts to Littlewoods catalogues go down quicker than our goalie, we had a defence that couldn’t handle that dark art, one so complicated only a few can master, of a long ball to a physical centre forward who is smart (that is being kind), a midfield that won so many second prizes that it should have been called Bruno and a strike force that contained one off form the other who has got a contract and a pay rise and looked like he couldn’t be ar$ed.
The big question has to be how did it take them to extra time to beat us? Oh, aye…..
3) Lennon has been pro-active with his substitutions in these games recently. Yesterday saw reactive substitutions not pro-active ones and this seriously hampered what we could do to inspire a malfunctioning unit. Rogne was taken off for the good of his health, Brown was injured (but was a passenger anyway)and it’s against the rules to sub 8 of your players.
4) Jelavic has been upgraded from custard knees to jelly and ice cream knees. He owned our backline yesterday, but get’s in at number 4 as that is the number of times he has been booked for diving this season. If he was Lithuanian he would be getting hounded out the country. I can safely call him a diving c*nt though.
5) There will be no need for a summit after this game. The two reasons that why there was no on-field trouble were R*ngers won and Spit The Dog played virtually no part. Maybe Alec and Co need to suggest that this happens all the time…..
