Just realised that the train I am getting to Carlisle will most likely be full
of hung over Rangers fans - all the trains from Manchester to Glasgow change at
Lancaster or Carlisle so I will have them either all the way to Carlisle or at
least as far as Lancaster.
Unlike some on here I have absolute zero interest in Jock football and never
used to join in the pathetic Rangers \ Celtic chants of the 70s \ 80s, but at
least if the fans are boisterous I will not have to listen to the anti English
pro IRA stuff that the other Glasgow fans sing !!
As for the game itself whilst I agree we are now big underdogs it is not a
foregone conclusion - in the league game at their place we totally outclassed
them first half but the game was totally the other way second half. In the
league game at ER it was fairly even first half albeit they were leading at ht
but we battered them second half. Last night at times they did out class and
out fight us but by the same token the game really turned in a two minute spell
when the keeper made a top class save to deny Beckford and they went striaght
up the other end got a corner that never was and scored with a flukey
deflection ! So all in all there is not much to choose between the teams.
We did prove once again last night that we do have fighting spirit and a
never say die attitude and will keep going till the end so we are not finished
yet.
Obviously the first goal will be immense especially in the way the crowd will
get behind their respective teams !
There are certainly more goals to come and if Beckford is fully fit and
Howson and Freedman can pull a few strings we can still do it.
One last thing - whatever happens on Thursday it has been a great season and
the players deserve great creidt for making the 15 point deduction act as a
spur, for all the last minute winning or equalising goals we have got, and how
they have coped with the loss of the manager mid season - don't forget the
likes of Lubo, Kilkenny Johnson and Sheehan all signed because they were
impressed with Wise and as is shown by the absence of Sweeney for example,
different managers have different opinions about players.
So come on lads one more push to get to Wembley and then one more for real
glory - you can do it !
Dave
