Celtic v St Mirren

 

Last time we played St Mirren I had just become a dad and was sitting with a wee bhoy on my knee who was just coming to terms with the world.  My wife was sitting with a screaming child on one side and a screaming husband on the other as I peered at the grainy download stream to see the Buddies fire in their 3rd and 4th goals of the game.

On Thursday night a guy sitting somewhere behind me was giving Sammy pelters very time he touched the ball, usually in anticipation of an error.  Whilst I would criticise Aiden if he gave the ball away or misplaced a pass or ballooned the ball over after his run across the 18 yd line, I did it AFTER he made the mistake.  The second goal on Thursday summed this guy up.  As Sammy chested the ball, the guy began  “Aww you useless f…Yes!”

 

Aye – faithful through and through!
