A load of rot...


HEY! How did March get here so soon?
It 'snuck' up on me when I wasn't looking!

A bit like the St. Johnstone team that just knocked Motherwell out of the Cup tonight. (i.e. Wednesday 28th... before March snuck up on me)
Against my better judgment (but I have to say with very little resistance from me) I went with my brother to the match tonight.
I had one of those premonitions that we would lose. What I had not foreseen was how badly we would play, especially in the first half.
I say 'we' but of course I was just sitting down most of the time. (Although, so it seems were most of my team.)
But that is the good thing about following a team in any sport. You share the experience vicariously. You identify with it like Jewish people every Passover who talk as if they had been there on the night it happened.
But what about the accompanying picture?
I'll explain. I've seen fungus moving faster than our midfield did tonight. I think the Motherwell team may have given up football for Lent!
All I can say is I'm glad they reduced the ticket price for that match.
Maybe that's why my team reduced their performance?

what can you expect, supporting a team like Motherwell? Now if it was Greenock Morton.... I love fungi, especially the more colourful species - I like to think of them harbouring sprites and fairies and the like - wee people who spread good into the human world. Perhaps I should go before you decide I'm away with the fairies!

Delightful post! Witty, clever, and a bit sarcastic.

Gave a smiling start to my day.

Thanks, Iain!

Me sarcastic? Aye right! (That's a Scottish joke, Cherie. Scots is the only language where a double positive = a negative, and a lot depends on how you say it.)
Anyway, it was only a game.
.... except that we are out of the cup now :-(
