Well that's all folks!
Rangers demolished Killie yesterday, 3 goals up after 7 minutes, ended the game 5-1. I noticed some comments yesterday of Celtic fans accusing Killie of 'laying down' meanwhile it was all Celtic's hard work in their 4-0 drubbing of Motherwell! (incidentally, Motherwell fielded a near-reserve team to save their players for next weeks Scottish Cup.) 1 point separating the teams is a fine margin, it all came down to a missed penalty at Ibrox or Celtic losing concentration at Inverness. Fine margins.
So ta ta and thank you Walter Smith. The papers here think he's going to take a big job down in England, perhaps as part of Alex Ferguson's successor at Man Utd but I don't see it myself.
As for my depression with Scottish football.... this year should have been a classic. It came down to 1 point on the final day, the Rangers team were a bit beleaguered but managed to pull through, decent European runs, Neil Lennon is showing signs that he could be one of the great Celtic managers (his signings so far have been rubbish but he's certainly great at putting passion in the team) there was almost a serious bid for the 3rd place team to keep up. But off the pitch has just destroyed all that, referee strikes and now the Lennon nonsense. I perhaps suffer more than most because my family is split between the two teams so I get it in the neck from all angles.
My lad wants me to take him to a football game, I've been quite neutral with him but he's showing interest in Rangers due to influence from his peers at school. I'm considering adopting a wee diddy team. They have a greater need for my money and there is none of the sectarian nonsense. I've got all summer to consider St Mirren.
