Crimes Against Fitba'? DVD Available Fae The Weekend. Celtic 1 The Huns 0.

An Unfunny Govanite 

Some Might Say, that a crime was commited in Govan over the weekend. Yes, for those that saw the Rab C Nesbitt Xmas special, then it was a crime against comedy that was the biggest injustice in Govan this weekend.

Celtic taking 3 points, against the run of play, was a massive distance behind in the crime stakes. It was a deserved victory in the sameway the 4-2 scoreline reflected The Huns dominace at CP earlier on in the season.

Ok, the stats pan oot as this: Celtic had 4 shots on target they had 2. Off target was a massive 6 for the unwashed and 2 for the good guys. Blocked shots was 6 for The Huns, all blocked by Calderbuer wie his right hand, and none for us. Oor possession lagged behind their 52.1% but these stats are some what eskewed by the last 30mins, which saw oor, fabled, European away tactics, work.

From being passengers Samaras, Scott Brown, Barry Robson and a mention to Lee Naylor, who did a great impression of a left-handsided midfielder, a championship left-handsided midfielder, who if he ever learns to cross the ba' as regular and Phil Taylor hits the treble 20, instead of his usual blind man chucking a hedgehog attempts would be a player. They joined Scott McDonald, Paul Hartley, Gary Caldwell and Artur Boruc in the box marked 'Bhoys Done Guid'.

A game that was played on a frozen surface, so much so a polar bear has set up camp and was last spotted eating Maurice Edu and shitting oot the remains of Nacho 'Ratboy' Novo, was never going to be filed under classic. In the end it was filed under 'Instantly Forgetable' but the 3 points were as welcome as ANY we have won over the last few seasons. Nearly 3 years since we last won at The Pox. It's been a long time coming but a performance, which was of the 'How Did We Get Away Wie That' type.

The goal will be remembered and included in many DVD's for years to come. Scott McDonald, score a half volley, which warmed the gonads of us 'auld timers'. It reminded us of King Kenny, Charlie Nicholas and The King Of Kings. What he lacks in skill he makes up in work-rate. Choice between Skippy and Kenny Miller, another player who lacks skill but has the work-rate of a Blackpool Donkey, while looking like one, also, then Skippy wins hands doon. Shades it on the natural ability stakes, which is not saying much.

If only Georgios Samaras, who has more ability, would take note of Skippy's work-rate.

So, oor manager survived, suspending Aiden McGeady, a crippling Hessellinkitis, which cost us oor creative menances, and a team that has lost form to win only his 3rd game against Walternosurname. He beamed: "It wasn't a classic game in the first half, it was huff and puff football. I felt we had more to offer in the second half, it wasn't easy to up it on a technical level but we got better." being generous in his view on the technique shown during the game.

He survived a strange clipboard moment, when he brought on O'Dea at full-back, but while the win is welcomed, for some to say that it has washed away oor failings in the last few weeks are as wide of the mark as a Lee Naylor cross.

Man Of The Match, Skippy, hit the nail on the head: "By no means are we getting carried away. There is a lot of football to go and it will mean nothing if we don't win next week and R*ngers do. We can enjoy this result then get a little rest and back on the training ground on Monday and get our heads screwed on for a tough, tough game against Dundee United next week."

So true.
