Talking Up Sevco And Putting The Pressure On Us For Sunday.
I remember the last time we were chasing teams in front of us in a league race. The pressure was all on us. Why would it not be? We were the side that had to win all of our games and hope for a slip. Because the slip is out of your hands; where the pressure comes is in being ready to capitalise on them. You have to win, and keep winning.
Because otherwise it’s over.
Sevco goes into today’s game under pressure.
If they drop points, then any result at Pittodrie is bad for them. Any result. The media would rather ignore that fact. This entire week has been about how it’s Celtic who are under pressure, the team with a nine point lead.
This is a complete inversion of the standard coverage. Look at title races anywhere in Europe; the chasing team is the one that’s under the pressure. All the top side has to do is keep on motoring along. Not here in Scotland.
You would think the title was in Sevco’s hands instead of ours and that any defeat would plunge us into crisis. It does not matter if we drop points at the weekend if they don’t win. If they fall further behind then it will be done and dusted, and that will be the case whether it’s this weekend or next or the one after that …
Sevco simply has to keep winning, and hope for a miracle.
The pressure is all on their club … but that’s not the way the media is spinning it.
