The Disminishing Return Of Charlie Mulgrew (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Of DuNT In The Cup)
We didnae win last week. It has been proved that we are still mortal. Any getting gallus notions have been well and truely hit on the heid wie a big fecking stick. We are going to Tanadeechie as a wounded animal and wie Gary Hooper.
Hoops88 just loves playing against DuNT. He already has 3 goals against them in 3 gemmes this season and has 7 overall.
This apart from a trip to Swinecastle this probably the hardest draw we could have got. This is a gemme for focus and not for oor concentration to drift off to glories that await. We have owned DuNT this season but they are different gravy now. They are unbeaten since we beat them 2-1 in January.
The Hupes need to be up fir it. Just how we like it.
The Bad.
Scotlands player of the month from February (as voted by Kiddiecare) Charlie Mulgrew has deservedly been recognized as being damn guid and punished by getting a Scotland Cap.
His two goals in the February were both fantastic though added to his diminishing value at the bookies who fleece guys like me into paying into their pension/timeshare fund on a weekly/daily basis.
From being mid 20’s for first goal saw him being a shocking 9/1 to bulge the net first in oor last outing! In the name of the wee man where is the VALUE in that for a defender? Since he hasn’t scored in 180mins he is 16/1 to open the scoring tomorrow.
I’m withdrawing monies from the pension fund tomorrow.
The Ugly
I wish I could type that a Baboons erse wid be a better manager than Houstesticle but – this really pains me – he is doing a damn fine joab after a start that saw them look like a bonafide bottom six outfit.
Impressive victories over The Fermers, The Marnocks, The Jam Ferts and Inversenkie while scoring goals for fun plus having impressive performers in Daly, Ferret Heid Russell and MacKay-Steven means that I would take a replay if offered it just now.
