    Reasonable as ever.

    I believe that would be the Premier League. The one you got kicked out of.

    Some match between Hibs and Falkirk in the Scottish Cup semi final. Falkirk were up 3-0 after a half hour and the Hibs 'supporters' starting leaving Hampden in their droves. Happily the idiots have missed an amazing comeback, 3-3 now and going into extra time. They also had a penalty saved at 1-3. I'm sure Fenlon will get a lot of plaudits for his half time team talk and change of system (going with two up front) if they can finish the job! He'll probably still get slated if they don't though.

    It has to be pointed out also that the new Falkirk manager, Gary Holt, is the bulb off a futuristic James McClean!




    Edit: What a goal by Leigh Griffiths to win it for Hibs 4-3. You really do have to laugh as those fans who left at 0-3. First time Hibs have reached two Scottish Cup finals in a row since the 1920's.

    In the Andalusian derby last night, R Betis came from 3 goals down at half time to equalise against Seville. More that a few of the spectators left at half time.


    That result is hardly enough for Fenlon to keep his job, is it? If you finish outside the top 6 in the SPL, it's bad news. Maybe he'll survive if Hibs win the cup?

    He won't keep it unless he wins the final in which case they'll build a gold statue of him outside Easter Road!

    I really think the hibees are being harsh on him. He deserves another season.

    What does that mean?

    And most Tims don't even recognise that term...

    It means that many Old Firm fans are whiny and entitled, and throw the toys out of the pram whenever things don't go their way. And that I find it quite funny and satisfying when they do.

    Case in point, Rangers fans thinking that because they've won a few trophies, it means they shouldn't have to pay their taxes.

    Except you could say that about any big club, not just Celtic and The Zombies. At least 5-10 spring to mind and even one or two in Ireland.
    Whilst every other European country whose national team are in FIFA's top 50 must have at least 2 or 3 each.

    So that means I'm not allowed dislike the whining that comes out of Rangers and Celtic? It's just as satisfying when it comes from entitled fans of Manchester United, England, or the Australian cricket team.

    I didn't say that. Just that it's hardly unique. And part of the modern human condition.

    Two cup semi finals with a 4-3 result, the game in Scotland isn't goal shy or lacking excitement.
    Our forgotten bhoy Stokes, came on as a sub and impressed with heading the winner from 6m out.
    That Dundee Utd team had a few talented schoolboys playing for them.

    Some of those United kids were really talented alright.

    I'd never hear the Tony Stokes song before.

    Jackie McNamara hasn't aged one bit.

    Neither has Willo Flood - He's looked about 40 now for the last 20 years.

    If it's not Raith Rovers, then I would generally be in the Celtic corner for obvious reasons but this year I hope the Hibees win the cup. It's been a very long time, they wear green, they have an Irish heritage, they have had to play second fiddle to Hearts for many years and they are managed by an Irishman.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Cough ... both teams are managed by an Irishman

    It would appear that teams playing Celtic in Scottish cup competitions have every chance of beating them.

    Recently Neil Lennon received a 3 match touchline ban for using offensive language on the sidelines, being found guilty of that offence triggered a previous suspended 3 match ban.
    Gordon Strachan when asked about it at a press conference, said 'it was f*****g ridiculous'.

    Kris Commons has retired from international football at the age of 29. Difficult to understand how he has only 12 caps for them given their lack of quality over the last few years.

    Most 29 year old footballers have young families I would think.

    The retirement isn't that big a surprise, the fact that he found it difficult to play consistently for them is. I know he's had a lot of injuries alright, hamstrings, etc.
