Let's try this again! (fb post)

So it's November and I am going to try to NaBloPoMo this month. That's write a post every day in November in the hopes that it will start a habit and this blog will turn out to be something. I love football and talk about it 24/7 srsly, but I can never get my ass together enough to actually update this blog.

First off, the Scotsman wins for the headline to this article:

Scotsman.com News - Balls up at cup draw by top politician
THE draw for the semi-final of the CIS Insurance Cup has descended into farce after it emerged that one of Scotland's most senior politicians apparently messed it up.

Hearts were initially told they would be facing Dundee United after First Minister Alex Salmond performed the draw live on BBC television.

But within hours it emerged that his colleague, the Scottish Parliament's Presiding Officer Alex Fergusson, had matched up the wrong teams with the balls which Salmond pulled out.

Hearts were then told they would be playing Rangers instead.


Hearts just beat Celtic 2-0 yesterday and then get told they've got to plan fucking Rangers after thinking they've had a (relative) cakewalk. I'd be fucking PISSED OFF too. Rangers are on fire this year. How a member of Scottish Parliament can fuck up 4 balls numbered 1-4 is beyond me.

Actually, it's not beyond me but I thought I'd be nice to the Scots for my first post "back". Don't expect another kind word about Rangers tho.

DeMarcus Beasley signed for Rangers.

Jesus Christ Man City were fucking retarded to let him go.

Old Firm

I meant to watch the Old Firm yesterday, but I got all kindsa screwed up by Dubya's daylight savings two weeks early bullshit and kinda didn't get up in time, even though clockwise it meant getting to the pub an hour later, real time wise it meant, still fucking early and I stayed in bed. (Only City and and sometimes footie geeza's LFC will get me outta bed and on the 630am train on a weekend).

Needless to say, I was disappointed (especially after the dramatic fashion in which Milan knocked Celtic out of the Champions League), but with the SPL this season, does this game REALLY matter? It's bragging rights, and I know that the Celtic Supporters Club that meets at my local weren't happy. But--come on it would take a train wreck for Celtic not the win the SPL.

1 Celtic 30 34 74
2 Rangers 30 25 58

I *do* find it interesting that the way the Scottish FA choose to banish Sectarianism from the match is to---invite relgious leaders to look at how the supporters wait til they're down the road before they start fighting. In my head that equates to what the anti-war kids say around these parts "War for Peace is like Fucking for Virginity"

What's funnier is the fact that it was the St. Patrick's Day Pararde in Philly and there were a shit load of Fauxirsh (Fake Irish--"I'm 100% irish my great great great grandmother was born there") wearing Celtic Shirts (because they are a Irish team, ya know), probably wondering why there were all these Scottish guys stood around looking sad--or maybe they thought they were Irish and offered to buy Paddy a pint.
