The Hearts game today was horrific.
First of all I forgot my season ticket which meant queuing up for 15 minutes to get a ticket and paying an extra two quid "administration charge".
I'm in the front row in the asbestos filled Main Stand which resulted in me being frozen and soaked to the bone as the roof doesn't cover the first 5 or so rows. Thankfully I didn't have to ignore any stewards asking me to sit down this week. I specifically asked for my seat to be in N1 as I want to spend the whole game standing. Everyone else in this section is standing, go and annoy someone else for a change.
The first signs that this was going to be a bad day came when I heard the team line up. Kurskis (third coice keeper) being drafted in for his first game and Tall (easily our best defender) being left on the bench didn't bode well for the game.
Last season this would have resulted in my heart sinking to the pit of my stomach. However, I am now used to incompetence that borders on sabotage and as such unintellagable team selections don't have that big an effect on me any more. Nowadays I accept it and hope for the best.
The first half was reasonable and we should have gone in leading by more than one goal. Unfortunately the second half was truly horrendous and we were made to pay for missing several good chances to make it 2-0.
For Motherwell's first goal Jose 'useless lanky streak of p**h' Goncalves went to header the ball out of play only for it to cannon off the back of his ugly napper across the face of goal for the Motherwell forward to knock into the empty net. Why we turned down over 1 million for that useless inbred imitation of a left back is beyond me. We could have got a far more competant fullback for 50p. I would have been more than willing to drive him to the airport myself for half of what that incredibly stupid Spanish club were offering for him.
Their second was an own goal which says it all.
The bit that really hurts is that we have the making of a half decent team. Against the Weegies we have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1. With the exception of a 5-0 humping away to Celtic we have given as good as we have got against them. However, taking points of them is completely pointless if we then proceed to lose to Motherwell and draw with sodding Gretna.
A half decent manager would be able to get us to third place with the minimum of fuss. However, this would deny Mad Vlad the chance to play a real life version of Football Manager.
Why I pay money to watch this beyond me. I wish I didn't care but I'm addicted.
