GLF 64: JC casts an eye over us and just about everything else.
Onlooker
Not So Mad Vlad - Despite Mo claiming Vlad's lost the plot with claims officials are bent. Perhaps wouldn't go that far but The Bigots do get all the big/dubious decisions against the rest of us and always have.I suspect McCurry would have been going for his cards had Skippy/Clarky beeninvolved in a similar situation to The Croat at the New Year's game and not pointing to the spot.
Life Without Skippy - Unfortunately we got a foretaste of wot could be in store next season when Wiz of Oz was oot suspended v Vlad's mob.It didn't look very appealing as Gordon could have brought a deckchair &cigar for all he had to do.Stepover runs the ball past him & thepost, and one header off the line were our total attempts on goal.
SPL Yer Havin' A Larf - Arab HQ for us three times in the season, wot's it all about -they ought to be at Fir Park.This nonsensical split just makesour parochial league a big joke.
Mold Breaker - So Freckles manages to win his first game in charge of Scotland - firstcoach to do so since the 70's.However it should be remembered heinherited a decent side from Tommy The Hampster here & took 'em torelegation candidates.He got out of Leith with them on the slide and his stint at Masonville followed similar pattern.So lets see wot happenswhen he starts to tinker with the national squad.
Twenty-Five Notes - To get into Beggardome to watch The Steelmen - don't think so.Spent a fiver more to travel to take in Carlisle Utd on Easter Monday at only fourteen quid to get in.
End Of Term Report - Pretty average Steelmen season; not many highlights."Win Ugly" to quote Mo, not pretty to watch I'm afraid.Floggin' our twotop scorers for buttons in relative terms in today's marketplace is not too clever.Hopefully whoever Malpas & heggie bring in are a bit better than his recent aquisitions who ain't set the heather on fire.Kerr likely to walk, no great loss from wot I've seen -
talented, but fails to improve himself & hides when the going gets
tuff.On the bonus side, serial relegator Heggie failed to work his
usual trick, let's hope it continues to be so next season.But
afraid I ain't bursting with optimism as reagrds the likely events
outfield next season.Enjoy your holibags one and all.
Player of The Season - Reynolds by a country mile - why he ain't quoted for national Young Player of The Year beats me ...... sorry, forgot he don't play for either ser o' Bigots - yet!!?!?!?!
