There's A Store Where The Creatures Meet......

......at the bottom of Love Street. Seems fitting then that a player who looks like Uncle Fester and has been portrait as a strange creature and a beast in the press should score, what is rare these days a perfect hat-trick.

1st with his left foot, 2nd with his right and the 3rd with his heid. If Sky had been still covering Scottish Fitbaw a mention on Soccer AM would be forthcoming for "The Gravedigger" but as Sky view us lower than the conference then we will just need to put up with the tin pot coverage, Jim Duffy, Scotty Booth and future r*nger manager Sally McCoist whining and moaning on Setanta.

Now the fact Tommy G made the headlines for the right reasons will annoy the members of the fourth estate, whom are only interested in delving into his private lfe and stories aboot him eating weans, dugs and boiled ham raw. No interest at all in the fact that he is a creative midfielder, from Real Madrid, played in the EPL, played in Germany and has had a successful international career.

What probably annoys them more is the fact that it was Celtic heritage and history that attracted him to CP not money. Also that he is bloody guid player whose quality, along with JVoH, and pedigree set a marker to the rest of the league of the quality we wanted to attract. It's pure jealousy. The lose of Petrov has been superseded by a quality replacement and one who has already had the nack of scoring goals.

Which was a worry when the sulky bulgar left for the black country. Tommy G and Naka have chipped in with a hat trick each in two difficult away games. Two of the three creative forces from midfield have contributed with goals which, probably shows how our tactics are set up away from home with runners from the midfield breaking into the box.

Tommy G looked like he was enjoying himself yesterday. An early goal- missed in the LOTW household due to a nights excess and a visit to pray to the china Buddha just as the game kicked off. Never before have I felt as terrible as I heard the nasal whine of David Begg describing the goal as if someone had shot a family member. He really disnae like Celtic scoring does he? Add Craig Paterson to the mix and Radio Scotland is a place that no Celtic fans should go on a match day, then Bill Leckie commentating? What the fuck is going on? Nae license fee for me next year.

Anyway, back to Crocker and Booth on the TV, as i don't know what was making me worse the sound of Begg or the effects of a dodgy pint in Condorrat the night before. Aye, the early goal set up oor must comfortable performance in an away game this season. Tommy G pulling the strings in what looked like a diamond formation in the midfield, Lenny his usual self in the midfield, wee Shaun buzzing aboot to no great effect but his movement was troubling the Paisley panda's and even with Naka having a quiet game oor midfield was running the show.

We never created many chances but unlike Tuesday night we took the ones presented. We also fired more balls into the box on Tuesday night as we did yesterday. We actually created more chances on Tuesday night and got papped oot. Funny old game.

Two early goals and we relaxed. Our support got into party mood with ole, ole ole being cried in one move which saw the ball pinged back and forth around the park. Then the pish taking of St Mirren got boring and the party mood turned a bit political as once again the away support haven't grasped the nettle of doing things quietly.

Now the St Mirren PA announcer shoulnae have made the comments he did at half time. I mean are they trying to take over from Partick Thistle as the Swizterland in the west of Scotland so-called bigotry war. I mean the St Mirren fans sung flower of Scotland so we sang the soldiers song. If someone can tell me what the more sectarian song is? Answers on a postcard.

Once again the papers have highlighted the word orange being sung. A term used to describe a r*nger fan which today I think should not be seen as sectarian. Banter, yes. sectarian no bloody way. But the bottomline is oor support are leaving oorselves open for these accusations when we should really be oot of sight on the moral high ground stakes.

But what can we do? I was with a away game regular on Saturday and he was showing me some stuff on his mobbie. If this stuff was relating to Jihad movements then he would be in Govan polis station under the prevention of terrorism act quicker than Kenny Miller chasing a lost cause.

When ask why he had this stuff as I have known him for years and he has never struck me as the type to be right into the rebel thing he said that most of the bhoys he goes to away games with have this type of material on phones and PC's. Now this guy is a young. Just oot of short trousers, never read anything aboot the things he is singing aboot. The worrying thing for me is all this did was highlight the problem in oor support. It's not aboot changing oor ways it's aboot re-educating older types and bringing the younger new generation up correctly to know that there is a time and place for these songs and views.

But in this civilized world it's a sad state of affairs that oor right of free speech and views is once again being compromised by a this narrowminded, racist and sectarian country we call home.

Hail Hail
