The Lotw Diary-Tuesday
There must be something up, when in the middle of a contested semi final, which you haven’t got in the bag yet, yer thinking aboot no going to the replay due to the fair being served up in front of you. We could win the league this week and again the fact that I’m ticketless is not bothering me one bit.
I’ll get the lads round, a few cans and watch it on the telly. Been to Rugby Park before when the title was won, the game was terrible and we limped to 1-0 victory while hanging on for dear life. Somehow I canny see Sunday being any different but at the moment I can picture another disappointment on the horizon.
The faw oot from the Kennygate incident continues wie numerous players and ex foes sticking their collective oar in to back oor esteemed or lame duck leader. Lenny, Mick, Naylor, Caldwell and Big Feck have all stuck their neeb in and gave their tuppance worth.
While I fully expect the players to back their manager, especially the ones that have as the manager has shown all loyalty and gave some the chance in the big time. Some should really pit their heids back below the parapet and ride oot the storm. Some views are as welcome as a Royal Navy interview in the Harry Hun.
Lenny has been identified, as the crux of all oor woes and him again coming oot and having a go at the support will only hasten calls for his departure. On the field he is rapidly losing the plot as the constant bickering wie team-mates on Saturday proved. When something went wrong he would berate the perceived offender, the perceived offender would answer him back pointing oot his failings wie gusto.
Gary Caldwell should really not have spoke to the press backing up GS. He is being hung oot to dry by the manager who won’t admit he has signed a haddy in the lesser-spotted Doumbe. The managers’ actions speak louder than words in that fact. Caldwell’s recent performance was worse than Adam Virgo’s last season at right back in the CIS semi final. Again he should have kept his mouth shut and not abused the hands that feed him.
But we are fickle and we are maybe overreacting to the current situation. I would have expected in a situation the players find themselves in that the fans backing would be crucial. Having had 1st hand experience of the nastiness seeping through the support one bad pass from any of the beraters will be met on Sunday with buckfast fuelled rath. These players now have blown any chance of sympathy or a second chance.

Kevin, you are a hard man!
To be fair, Gary Caldwell said that any fan who expects an 8-0 win didn`t know what he was talking about.
As for Lennon, I can`t see the manager leaving him out until the league is won.
I see that you are not confident, well I was thinking about this game from about 3 am this morning! So I`m really calm about it!
i wont be giving any of the players a buckfast fuelled rant...it's just i know guys who will be and they will plentyful.
i will get more confident as the week wears on..i'm a fan who like all fans have blind faith in the ability of the manager and the team, whether it is justified or not.
I was thinking of the end of 1981-2 season. Celtic were ahead of Aberdeen and needed a win to take the title at Tannadice (where they had won it the previous year) and I said to friends that I would wait for St Mirren at home to see the title won. Bad move, 0-3 at Tannadice and then 0-0 with St Mirren. Celtic had to wait 12 days until the final match. Aberdeen were winning their games. I had gone to see them at Love St and they had won 2-0.
Last game, St Mirren at home again. If Aberdeen beat Rangers by 4 goals and Celtic lose Aberdeen would take the title.
Half time, Aberdeen 4 Rangers 0 and Celtic 0 St Mirren 0. Fortunately a tired Celtic team turned on the style in the 2nd half and won 3-0 but it was a close thing.
The best time to win it is now!
i'm not wanting to wait for the home game. i'm really not fussed if i'm there when we win it or not.
i mean, if they really want to wait until the Hearts game then fine but would rather tie it up quickly then smash Hearts wie a display of champion style fitbaw then get the trophy presented afterwards then we can paaarrrrttttyyyy.
great story...but imaging the gers being 4-0 at half time...were questions asked?
Questions asked? Dinny be daft, their bus was delayed and they only arrived at 2.30. Here`s the thing, the half time score was read out and nobody cheered!SILENCE!
Some people were shouting for the `useless` George McCluskey to be substituted but he was to be the match winner. It`s a funny old game.
Note: McGarvey and Nicholas were injured for the title run in and Danny Crainie came up with the goals to keep the Celts on track.
The final score from Aberdeen was 4-0.
wonder who could be oor Danny Crainie....a wee blonded heid waif from Leith?
Only if GS gives him a chance...
I`m sure that`s him in now.
Scusi,
I mixed up the order of the third and second last matches in 1982. I can still remember the jokes on radio and the newspapers about the champagne having a tour of Scotland! >~(
running late...
