Decanted Newsamble: Hibs(h) Part Deux

As expected, The Hun jumping into bed wie a downmarket tabloid has caused a former lapdog and countless other former lapdogs to roond up the wagons and turn on their former paymaster. Must admit, the former, former lapdog article hits the nail on the heid and points oot the logic while still ignoring the facts right enough.

I suppose it's as close as we will ever get to someone calling The Huns cheats. Apart from me....Cheats.

Tonight (Thursday, if this is posted on Friday), I play fives and two Huns turned up wie the most horrible t-shirts on. They "celebrated" the upcoming "bash" in Mancland and had Novo The Skankmonster on the front, wie the graphic for Euro 2008( yes, really), their "results" on the back (all 4 goals listed wie pride) and some butchers aprons for guid measure.

It brought it home to me the fact that I really don't give a shit aboot them and the 500,000 that are traveling for their Cup Final. Why should I really be bothered aboot a cup that we couldnae win?

So, from this moment forth I can safely say all at LOTW (well, this part of LOTW) couldnae gie a flying feck aboot the UEFA Cup Final.

So what's caught my eye this week?

This story regarding Scott McDonald got me thinking and nothing short of a bit worried. So, we have signed a grumpy overweight striker whose ego needed brought doon to earth. We also find oot that he needs to be "noised up" to get the best out of him. Not bothered aboot that. His reaction after his second against The Huns and at other times this season had already proved he is as grumpy as The Greater Manchester Polis Commander was last Friday morning.

But, his reaction to the failed attempt by The Huns has got me worried. He was fuming by this knock back. So all this family are Tims is all shite to butter up the fans and he would have been a stone throw away from Kenny Miller if Motherwell would have accept the bid.

Still, I forgive the wee Wizard from Oz. Even though he has cost me a £20 by scoring over 20 goals this season. I didn't think he would get anywhere near that figure. But...to think he could have sold his soul to the devil for a few pennies more....

Reason number 100,001 why The Huns proposed extension couldnae happen. The small matter of Euro 2008. Nice to see the Dutch and Greeks being so understanding while The Huns play on the fact that none of their players are guid enough to go to Euro 2008.

A few weeks back a story that should have had the headline "Celtic Star Victim Of Sectarian Attack" but got the headline "Ned McGeady Provkes Trouble In Glesga Nitespot" instead, has brought this little ditty from oor Aiden.

It is a sad state of affairs when people think aboot moving to Edinburgh so they can walk doon the street wieoot being attacked or abused. I don't understand the mentality of some. Doesn't McGeady remember the abuse he gets at Tynecastle?

In fact McGeady couldnae move anywhere in Scotland judging by the racist abuse he receives at every away ground in Scotland. But I digress. I wouldnae think twice of abusing a Hun if I meet him in the street.

No, I would follow him, brick his windaes, put a banana up the exhaust of his car and shite in his front garden. Only kidding, I hope.

So from Edinburgh to Leith. And the visit of "Celtic's Feeder Club". Who from being a thing of fitba' beauty under John Collins have become an ugly beast under the new incumbent. By all accounts they didnae try and attack The Huns on Sunday and I don't expect them to do it on Sunday.

So as Celtic Stats states, we have played them 5 times since 2005/06, winning 3 and drawing 2(1 which has proved costly this season). We have scored 8 times to their 5 and only McGeady and JVOH are the only forwards still present at the club that has scored against them since 05/06.

Hibs are 3 games wieoot a victory (drawing 2) and scoring 2 goals in the process. Their away record is poor wie them only winning one oot of their last 6 wie that win coming 5 games ago and that was against Falkirk in Feb.

Celtic are 5 games wieoot a loss and have won their last 3 at home scoring 6 goals in the process but losing 3. First time Hibs have visited CP under Big Mixu. I reckon they will come wie a different gameplan under him than they did under Collins.

So, wie the added pressure on us, I predict a scrappy 2-0 victory wie Aiden to score the last goal.
