Super Duper, another defeat. This time at the hands of Hibernian FC, the team from Edinburgh that has made a habit... nay, a TRADITION... of being absolutely shite. Sure, the media will have you believe that Hibs is the reincarnation of the Milan team of the 80s, but the truth is that they haven't been a force in Scottish football since the days of Georgie Best, when they won... absolutely fuck all. True, they've won 3 league cups since 1972, but seriously? The League Cup? You can buy a box of 6 League Cups for ten quid from ASDA Portlethen. I've got one I use for Smarties sitting on the kitchen table.
Anyway, Craig Brown, Grand Master of Footballing Wizardry (Tactics Division), and current manager of AFC decided that today he was going to try something different. So confident of a win was our new manager that he decided he would be a good sport and play our wingers on the wrong sides. Aluko, you tricky left winger you, you go stand on the RIGHT hand side of the pitch.... no, the RIGHT. Yep, that's it. And Little Petey Pawlett, I'd like YOU to go stand over on the LEFT hand side of the pitch.
What's that, lads? You're going to be forced to check inside every time you want to put in a cross, meaning the flow of any attack on the wing is going to be broken up? Well, fuck you very much... who has the coaching badges?
Magennis, you used to be a goalie, right? Well I want you to play up front. Fucking top banana. This'll level the playing field sure enough.
So anyway, we lost. A goal to nil to Hibs at home. We did hit the woodwork though. Three times, in fact. If there were awards for NOT putting the ball in the net we'd be 3 points better off. Unfortunately those aren't the rules, so big fucking whoop for hitting the post and bar instead of the net.
I'm sure Craig won't be happy about that, but then I'm not very fucking happy that he doesn't know his left from his right, so stick them apples in yer pipe and smoke em.
Anyway, the team continues to show why only St. Mirren and Hamilton are lower in the scheme of SPL things this season. Although I do quite fancy St. Mirren to pass us in the next week or two, leaving us the luxury of looking down at Hamilton Academicals and going, "Hey, you lads are pish, eh?"
It's always nice to have someone to shit on, even if it's only Accies. The number of sides we can ridicule and taunt in a semi-vicious manner becomes smaller by the year. Without investment there's going to be a whole league of teams above us looking down and going, "Hey, how's the weather in the First Division, Spunkbandits?"
And we'll be like.... ".... Shit."
