CELTIC SHORTS – IRONY, GORD, VIRGO AND REARRANGERS
By Trialist
Oh, the irony of Walter, the psychotic grandad of Scottish football, raging, cursing, swearing and losing what little dignity he has, as he screamed red, white and blue murder about referee Charlie Richmond adding on four minutes of stoppage time at the end of the Huns' grim and nervy 1-0 win against Motherwell at Ipox last night.
And here's us thinking the Huns wanted to add time on to their season.
Oh, that's right, they only want to add on time that benefits them.
Last night's Huns versus Motherwell match was a bit of a siege, in the second-half especially after an impotent first period. Not that the Huns played scintillating attacking football or created barrow-loads of chances, you understand, though they did dominate.
However, Motherwell's Achilles heel was patently obvious – the corner kick.
And it was from a 73rd minute corner kick that Bazza Fergushun scored this dire affair's only goal, the Huns captain volleying in from the back post thereby calming the permanently raging Huns, who were approaching perma-fury as Mark McGhee's men threatened to earn a goal-less draw.
And respect to Motherwell's Stephen Craigan, who reacted furiously in stoppage time to Nacho Ned's theatrics. The odious wee c*nt was struck on the back with the ball and collapsed in Lovenpants, Thomson-style thespianism. Craigan gesticulated that the despicable Novo had acted as if shot by a sniper.
Cheats on the pitch as well as off it.
Currently, Celtic are top of the League with 83 points and with two must-win matches remaining – against Hibs at Celtic Park on Sunday and against Dundee United at Tannadice on Thursday 22nd May.
If the Hoops win both our remaining matches, we will set the Huns a target of 89 points.
If Celtic reach 89 points, the Huns, currently with 79 points and four League matches remaining, would have to win all four of their remaining games to surpass our points tally. The Huns will face Dundee United (H), Motherwell (A), St Mirren (A) and Aberdeen (A).
And it's fair to say they are keeching themselves about it, hence their very public attempts at cheating, Murray's media manipulation and the Chairman's deployment of SFA lackeys, George Peat and Gordon Smith.
Whether it was his intention or not, Gordon Strachan has wound up the Huns a little bit more by declaring his Bhoys are bursting with energy.
With Celtic winning our last five games (against Motherwell, the Huns, Aberdeen, the Huns again and Motherwell again), Gordon Strachan explained that this recent Celtic resurgence has benefited his Bhoys – physically and mentally.
He said: “We have bags of energy at the moment, and those with the most energy are the ones who are playing.”
Gordon Strachan continued: “We have plenty of energy in training and that is good as well. But we are feeling better about ourselves as the games go on because we have put ourselves right back in the race.”
Gordon Strachan added: “That is all we wanted to do. We just wanted to get back and make a challenge out of this and not go meekly.”
Faced with two ‘must-win' matches against Hibs and Dundee United, Gordon Strachan said: “They say that is the results end of the season. But we were told about a month ago that that was results time as well.”
Gordon Strachan added: “It's results time all the time at this Club. It was even a results business when we drew with Kilmarnock in the first game of the season.”
And the Celtic Manager is under no illusions. Hibs at Celtic Park will present a tough challenge, as evidenced by their results against the Hoops this season and their goal-less draw with TFOD at Easter Road on Sunday.
Gordon Strachan said of Hibs: “They always give us a hard game and in heads-to-heads this season we have won one each and drawn the other.”
Gordon Strachan added: “It is going to be hard and, although the fans have been smashing for us, we need another of those European atmospheres on Sunday.”
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Adam Virgo's loan spell at Colchester United is finished and he's on his way back to Celtic, just in time for the season's climax.
Tremendous.
Thanks to those that sent Keep The Faith details of the Huns' re-branding, as they are henceforth known as ‘Rearrangers FC', with the motto changed from ‘Aye Ready' to ‘No Quite Ready'.
Finally, after the Chairman warned that Scottish football would be a “laughing stock” because the SPL refused to sanction the Huns' cheating, has anyone noticed any hysterical fits of laughter from other parts of the globe (apart from our own giggling in Timdom)?
Apparently, a 44-year old dentist in Bogota, Colombia smirked, but that's about it, Sir Minty.
