When is a must win game a must win game?
This weekends brief encounter with the Paisley Pirates is being billed as must win but the game against Dundee Utd was billed as must win after we never won the must win game against relegation threatened first division team in waiting
Is there really such a thing as a must win game when you have 25 games after that must win game to over come a point, or 2 points or 4 points deficit?
Surely this is operation stay in touch until January when the ultimate disappointment of discovering that your South Korean Kipper is really Koki Mizuno MKII and that have been sold a pup as once again the board sell you down the river by not partaking in the horse trading needed to turn round an ailing team will overshadow any must win defeat?
There has been some over reaction this week from some fans who seem intent of generating as much bad press as possible. They even dragged Matt McGlone out the cupboard marked Relic Of A By Gone Era to prove that he can string a coherent sentence together.
Our manager caused a storm with his gulf in class comment and his alleged over praise of a performance basking in the glory of defeat. This storm caused thousands of written and spoken words to be debated by guys in demob suits who are one step above Bankers in the despicable chain.
Their agenda is clear. Our manager pointed out their agenda in an off the record conversation a few weeks back. How did we find out about that conversation?
Ah, yes....we were told about it.
The Slaughter Of Fortune has gathered pace after Craig Burley (who called all Scottish players thick and he should know as he used to be one) decided that he went around eating road kill, knocking down lolly pop women, forcing dinner ladies into ovens and watching them cook and he is the reason that Jason Statham has a Hollywood career.
That is before he started on his impersonation of a goal hungry centre forward.
My take on Fortune is even the Krays loved their mother so given time we might see the good in him. If not then he we might see him extort money from numerous East end establishments by pinning fat barman, re-splendid in wine soaked string vests over bare clothed pool tables and sticking a sword through the barman's fat bloated hand.
While that scenario sounds appealing him banging in a few into the onion bag will do.
Uncle Fester brings his troops to the no longer fortress of CP and they are flirting with top
While signings are not a guaranteed path to success we need any port in a storm so seeing all Mowbray's men play above the average level of the others would be a welcome start.
I fondly remember predicting our 1-0 defeat against The Paisley Pirates in the Scottish Cup last year so it's with great pleasure I predict 5-1 Celtic with Fortune to score at least a couple.
Come in the drugs are good here.
