wait wait WAIT.

Is this Eurovision or Stars in their Eyes?

In absolute floods of tears because Barry's back. WTF, self?

+ This game is killing me.

The first and last Septic post you will ever see on this journal. But I had to because it's fucking funny.

The shorts from their away kit next season. Tartan? Excuse me while I piss myself laughing. Oh they're gonna look like such a bunch of wankers (even more so than usual).

So, after a painful night at work on Thursday where I could barely stand and my ankle was the size of the average hot air balloon then stupidly deciding that I would be alright to go to Glasgow yesterday anyway (I wasn't), by the time we got home I was in so much agony I ended up in hospital.

*sigh*

Basically I have some sort of fucked up infection that somehow got under my skin of my foot...it's a mess basically. So I'm forced into taking pills for it (I don't do medication usually no matter what's wrong with me but this time, I have too) and not moving very far until it clears up.

Fuck's sake just about sums it up perfectly. But...shit happens.

Just seen The Damned United

Bloody fucking brilliant film.

So Scott Brown can be involved in the bullshit drinking sessions of last week with no repercussion for it then not even a week later be involved in shouting abuse at Rangers fans and kicking up trouble on a train from Newcastle (that irritating little cunt McGeady was there and all) and still nothing happens to him?

Seriously. Fucking seriously?

This is getting well beyond a joke. All hail Celtic the fucking saint's of the premiership, is that it now? Because they can do no wrong even when they do? It's complete fuckery and I'm sick of it. I'm not even trying to defend what Fergie and Allan did because you can't, they did wrong and they're facing up to the consequences (even though it was a punishment that didn't fit the crime) but...fucking hell. It's like they've all just gone completely fucking batshit at exactly the wrong time. 

Jeezus. Fucking. Christ.

Anyway. 

Looks like Fergie's going to be going to Australia if anything, there's about three teams over there interested in him. Still can't believe this is happening. How the hell can he move to Australia he got homesick when he was at Blackburn for fucks sake never mind going 10,000 miles away. 

The reserves are away at Motherwell today, they've been doing really well recently. Totally proud of them. Just as well they've been doing well since most of our first team are falling to bits or banned so we're gonna need some of them to step in I think. 

Talking of injuries. Miller's going to a specialist in London to see about this really fucking annoying hamstring problem. I don't think he's going to be back before the end of the season to be totally honest, it's fucked up pretty bad and the two internationals didn't help at all. (Or the "sticky pitch" eh Kenny *wink wink*). Lafferty's still injured, don't think he's going to be back soon either, delicate little flower that he seems to be. Captain Kirk and McCulloch are both still injured as well, although should be back soon...although saying that, they've been saying Broadfoot will be back next game for the past three....

(I've had the most wonderful two days with reima in Glasgow but I'm home now, unfortunately, although I plan on going back through on Monday if I can. It's been epic and I'll post more about it later).

Few things I need to say.

I don't know how much you guys have heard about the Fergie and McGregor situation. But, as it stands just now, both have been banned from playing for Scotland for life; both have been suspended from Rangers for two weeks and most reports are stating that their Ibrox careers are effectively over: they have both been placed on the transfer list for the summer; Barry Ferguson is no longer captain of Scotland or Rangers.

Honestly? I'm numb. Everything has been blown so much out of proportion. Yes, they shouldn't have gotten that drunk on Sunday and that display on Wednesday was so far out of order it's incomprehensible. But, as Davie Weir said about Barry, it's not like he's killed anyone, there's no need for this vilification in the press. He's made a couple of stupid decisions in the past week and in so doing as proved all his critics right, thats not the Fergie we know.

Both of them have dragged Rangers through the mud in a way that we could have really done without right now, the situation at the club is bad enough without this happening. We've now lost, effectively, our two best players right at the time we need them most, this on top of the atrocious injury situation at the moment makes it feel as though we've just handed Celtic the title on a silver platter. We're being made out as a national joke at the moment and it hurts, really fucking hurts.

All that said, I'm still 100% behind Barry, yeah I'm disappointed and yes I feel let down by the man who until a day ago was the captain of both my club and my country. But he's been (as cheesy as this sounds) my idol for far too many years now for me to jump on the hate-fueled bandwagon. If he leaves football altogether (which has been hinted at) or goes to another club (there's three interested at the moment) then he has my full support whatever he does.

I hope and I pray that the rest of the lads are going to be able to get their heads down, get on with it and prove the entire fucking nation wrong. Prove that we're not a joke. Prove that we're not a team filled with prima-donnas and ego-inflated idiots.
