Season Diary

Entry # : Saturday 4th April 2009

Well i have just got in from the bookies having picked out my potential winners for the Grand National and put on the radio and Killie are up one nil! Invincibile in the 8th minute i am assured by the commentator.

This is tremendous news and i am now typing away whith a big cheesey smile on my face.

I should probably clear a few things up, today is the return to domestic football after what has been a turmoil infused fortnight off in Scottish football as the International qualifiers took centre stage. Today we have Hearts away hoping to win our first league game since beating Hibs jsut after Christmas. Inverness play St Mirren today and Hamilton and Falkirk play Celtic and Rangers respectively so this could be a decent wee chance for us to put some breathing distance over Falkirk who sit bottom. But Hearts are 3rd and looking comfortable, but were up a goal and have beaten them already this season at Tynecastle so....

I am not there today as must be pretty obvious from reading this post as a week of over indulgence has left my pocket completely empty. Weekend trip to Amsterdam to see Scotland last week, midweek trip to Hampden to see Scotland v iceland and then the Premier League Darts at the SECC means i am an avid listener to the radio today.

Calum Elliot has just equalised for Hearts which is unsurprising really as since i started listening about ten minutes in any sort of Killie possession has been minimal.

that was on 21 minutes and on 28 minutes were 2-1 down, Elliot again, he hasnt scored for Hearts in more than a year, surely then a shoe in for a goal v Killie. See all the stuff i said earlier about hope and cheesey smiles, pretend i never said it.

doodling about the bbc website there is a live text type thing for this game which updates every two minutes with examples of the info on show being:

32:40
Corner taken by Mehdi Taouil from the right by-line to the near post, clearance made by David Obua.

its kind of like a twitter style commentary of a football game and when time is short sometimes its all you need, also on this is the teams and subs. Number 17 Willie Gibson features on our bench today does this mean he has apologised for his carry on at Pittodrie? If so i didnt know. It will be interesting to see if he comes on.
