What did we learn from watching in ‘Retro-vision’? The only ‘firm’ finding is that we face The Sheep – again – in a semi final and that David Begg greets our goals like a newsreader reading the obituary of a well loved celebrity. To the thoughts of a shallow mind then…
1) How many times this season are we going to say: “This was the type of game we would have lost last year.” It was set up for a failing. Wednesday, night, midden of a park against a team out to mane, rape and kill. Forget the aesthetics of the performance. Focus on the result.
2) It’s being called “The Glenda Experiment”. The shock of seeing the Dutch Internationalist – unbelievably, he is one – lumbering around the Caley Stadium certainly put me off my stroke.
Problem is apart from giving away the penalty, putting us under intense pressure in the process, he strolled through the game. That sentence is the biggest oxymoron seen since a Lib Dem election promise.
So, a poll. partnership for Sunday?

3) Joe Ledley’s two goals gave him something to tweet about and the doubters something to chew over. On the other hand when he doesn’t score Kris Commons looks every inch a £300,000 signing from a struggling Championship club.
4) Terry Butcher must have thought that the “Tv Blackout” would mean that no-one saw the game. His rant afterwards reeked of self pity and delusion. His team of hammer throwers and hoofers weren’t at the races for long spells, which must have been much to his chagrin. I don’t care. He is a c*nt. A big smelly one.
5) Though the stream I was watching the game on was being beamed from 1973 the viewing figures never went below 67,000. Take that UEFA and surely someone at Celtic and the SFA took note of this. It’s the future.

sorry bout this but I thought it was 67,000 also…my 15 yr old pointed out that was the total watchn all the games!!…is he wrong?
fuck knows, but he’s only 15 so tell him we are right!
I reckon he is wrong as I have been on feeds that have had under 1000 viewing…
I think the best bit of Wednesday night was watching the game on a stream while simultaneously listening to Housey from Over and Over doing his commentary on UStream. The craic was brilliant, especially when his commentary was interrupted by an annoying popup ad for soap!
Sad testiment though – Housey (quite clearly biased) sounded more positive about the Inverness goal than David Begg ever sounds about a Celtic one.
Seriously though, most fun I’ve had watching a game in the house. He doesn’t do them often as he’s usually at the game, but when he does you should get yourself on there.
I did listen to Housey, the advert was hilarious. Fair play to the man for attempting it.
