Can see where MJC is coming from in trying to apply logic and common sense but if that was the way football worked then our coupons would be up every week and the bookies wouldn't allow any bets on the favourites cos they would always win!!
In terms of money and capacity then Celtic are miles ahead of us and always will be, in terms of recent form then they will always be ahead as well although that gap is currently smaller than it has been all season but in terms of pressure and expectation - then it all sits on them and once their own fans get on their backs then it tends to go tits up!!
For the timmies it's no more than another cup final against a diddy team but for us it's the whole weekend from Friday night beers and drunken chats about expectations etc, to a glorious Saturday with the players running out to a sea of Claret and Amber and a wall of noise and then the expectation that comes with not booking the flight home til late on Sunday so I can watch the bus parade as they show off the cup!!!!
All with the fallback of having already qualified for Europe
So as I said at the beginning, I can see where MJC is coming from but thank feck you can't apply logic or common sense to football and for the next month we will have more fun, expectation and drunken hope than we have had in many years and no dismal whinging, common sense or negativity can take that away.
Here's to possibly our best season in living memory
