craig 5,199 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I think we mean the same thing but have crossed lines in communication. Aye, no doubt - I will blame it on the thick Ayrshire accent - you can blame it on drowning your sorrows from the Dutch defeat on Sunday 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Aye, no doubt - I will blame it on the thick Ayrshire accent - you can blame it on drowning your sorrows from the Dutch defeat on Sunday I have no problem with the Dutch defeat they were beaten by a better team. The referee was Guff but was not the reason the Dutch lost. Well technically he was, it was a corner for the Dutch before the goal and the first phase of the Spanish attack was offside. Bert van Marwijk knew de Jong was a ticking bomb. Robin van Persie never produced anything the whole WC but was kept in the team in hope. I have more problem that the Dutch were given a reception only fit for winners with a boat trip through the Amsterdam canals with applauding fans on the full route ending with a party at museum square with 200.000 supporters. More than a million people poured into Amsterdam to applaud them. Van Marwijk and GIO were given a medal from the Queen. They got through with mediocre football and were heralded as winners. I got carried away in WC emotions that were fantastic here. My house was covered in orange and the Dutch flag. To treat the team as winners was just a step too far for me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 We're all pretty fucked off atm. One of Jim's latest posts on here states that Celtic are continuing their busy summer transfer dealings. Is it just me or do the press like to exaggerate their apparent wealth and highlight our lack of trasnfer dealings at the same time. Or am I seeing things that aren't there just because we are doing fuck all? I can only take some solace in that Celtic have been apparently flaunting their financial superiority for the last few summers and it hasn't done them any good. The difference this year is that so far we have been significantly weakend (in numbers and quality) and must start strengthening soon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
