As I was constantly reminded today, it has been 11 weeks since Rangers won the Scottish Premier League (for a world record 50th time) in the most exciting 90 minutes of football since time began. Not much has happened since that fateful afternoon in May but who cares, the new football season began today…
Rangers were having a party to celebrate the unfurling of the Championship flag (again, for a world record 50th time) and Kilmarnock were the opposition, and what an opposition… They went down 4-0 and had a man sent off after 35 minutes.
Meanwhile, as Kilmarnock were being put to the sword (by hari-kari mostly), Cross town rivals… Well, to say rivals is a bit tame as Rangers and Celtic is a hatred based on sectarian bigotry with Rangers representing the protestant and Celtic the catholic sides of Glasgow, but I digress… as Rangers were strolling, Celtic were struggling to get going and drew 0-0 with Dunfermline so after the first game of the season we’re already 2 points ahead. I’ll take that thank you very much…
And all that was before 3 o’clock…
I’ve generally been feeling like crap today, I’ve next to no money as the government is taking it’s sweet time in assessing my claim for invalidity benefit due to my recent stay in hospital. It’s still far too hot outside and no end to this heat wave seems to be in sight. At least it is cooling down, albeit ever so slightly.
Weird, just as I typed that it began to rain.
Maybe I’ll win the lottery today… Or maybe not as the draw was about 30 minutes ago.
Can’t have everything I suppose.
