A MASSIVE STICKLER OFFER
I’m sorry this one hasn’t come out until the evening. I’m making it my mission to have every issue out every morning, as early as possible, but sometimes life gets in the way.
Let’s look at Saturday’s games. Sportscene watchers will have been in shock at the studio set up on Saturday and even more so on Sunday. I’m going to cover that in tomorrow’s edition. To the action: Rangers v Hibs was the headliner and rightly so.
Dylan Levitt scored for Hibs after 8 minutes by shooting straight at the Holey Goalie Jack Butland.
Surreal Dessers missed a few good chances as per, then Martin Boyler Boyle Boyle got clean through on goal and found the Holey Goalie missing an undercarriage.
The offside flag went up, wanker signs rained down on Boylezy from the Rangers support, VAR drew the lines then realised Boyle in the Bag was in his own half so was onside. Cue mayhem in the Hibs end.
The Hibs are the form team in Scotland by some margin so it shouldn’t be that surprising a result. Barry Ferguson was angry, raging, fuming. I enjoy his press conferences because there’s no deflection or spin. You might not like him but he wears his heart on his sleeve and tells it like it is. Too many players not fit to wear the shirt.
For what it’s worth I think some of Barry’s woes are self inflicted because when he got the job he stuck with Tavernier as captain even though the longest serving player is symptomatic of the problems with the players at the club. You want to set a new standard? Demote the guy who is the poster boy for unacceptable standards. He says he’ll make changes for Thursday against Bilbao. The Holey Goalie will certainly be replaced by Liam Kelly, officially the world’s shortest goalkeeper.
