Of Managers And Sheep
Rangers F.C. stand on the pinnacle of making Scottish history as the first team from this nation to reach the Champions League knock out stages.
Even at our peak of rubbing shoulders with the top teams in Europe, Celtic came within 3 minutes of the same feat. There's no doubting Martin O'Neill's managerial genius but Big Eck is about to go one better that the brilliant man from the Six Counties.
Yet, at Ibrox on Saturday, we saw the shameful scenes as half a stadium of so-called supporters were booing their team and McLeash from the park at full-time. It would have been a full stadium if those already running from the park had hung about, but their tea was getting cauld.
Then today we have some of Murray's press poodles lapping up his latest hyperbole about some big investor about to sink 10m pounds into the first team. Just what on earth is going on at Ibrox that Rangers F.C. would seek to sack their manager and be ready to put a war-chest in the hands of the incumbent for his disposal?
How about Rangers F.C. give the money to their current manager who has operated with dignity and honour while his Chairman, club, supporters, and players have all let him down?
Is it any wonder Rangers are in the gutter?
This could only be made worse by if the club fails to make it through. Surely even Rangers are not that incompetent and will allow their manager to bow out with his head held high.
Meanwhile, just what is going on at Pittodrie?
Here we have a ground which is well known for being a place of terror for Celtic. A few years ago, some ned sheep fans were exposed for assaulting Celtic players with missiles, and then we have a totally nonsensical situation of a blow up sheep floating down gently onto the pitch, and the coppers lose it and pull every one from the Celtic enclosure.
Utterly mad, when you consider the thug who assaulted Celtic Legend Neil Lennon with a coin and there was no attempt to restrain the felon.
But should Celtic players really expect the polis up there to do anything to restrain an out of control fan base?
