Been a busy auld week for me: haven't had too much time to catch up with the thoughts of you good folk regarding tomorrows clash with the undead. However, what I have read concerns me a touch. You all know I'm mister cautious, I never take any result for granted; we have to earn each and every victory. I admire the confidence shown by many of you. I share that confidence;.... not to the point where I think it'll be a dawdle, though. I expect a hard fought game, perhaps even a tense, fraught afternoon. I very much hope I'm wrong and that it all turns out to be as easy as many seem to think. If those precious three points come easy, then, so much the better. Any win, of any kind, will do me, though.
The ref.........
This is a very strange appointment as far as I'm concerned; don't get me wrong, I honestly don't believe Willie Collum has any leanings towards either club. BUT, I think he's a very poor referee. I'm sure Bridie said something similar a while back.
My concerns for tomorrow actually go deeper than any question marks against his ability to do his job in a fair and honest fashion. Given the backdrop to his lack of involvement with sevco games, coupled with the fact that the man has been the subject of unrelenting diatribe from from their poisonous hordes, is it actually possible for him to put all of that out of his mind ? Does he have the necessary strength of character?
He's a loser tomorrow for sure....no matter the result.
