I’m no Sean Batty but I have the same weather app on my phone as most folk do these days.
And it certainly wasn’t when their game against Rangers was called off for a second time on Wednesday afternoon. Like everyone else who watched Don Robertson’s 11am inspection live on Sky Sports News, I could see that coming from a mile off. No, what I find absolutely shocking is that here we all are, on Saturday morning, waiting for this farce to happen all over again next week.
That horse has bolted. The pitch is a shambles and it should not have been given the all-clear for Motherwell’s match up there last weekend. So the decision should be taken out of the hands of the clubs and a new venue should already have been nailed down and announced for Wednesday night. It really is a ridiculous situation and an embarrassing one for Scottish football. The rest of the UK is laughing at the state of our top league again and that’s a real boot in the balls given the hugely positive reaction to last week’s Old Firm game.
And they’ll have been as desperate to play as Rangers were the other night because they have a shot at reaching the top six which would be a helluva an achievement. They deserve better too. As do Hibs and Motherwell who are waiting and wondering what it means to their own chances of ending up in the top half of the table. Everyone deserves better than this.
There was no way I was taking that one. Missing one is bad enough. But miss two and it’s time for someone else to step up. Luckily enough for me, Mikel was that man and when he slotted it home I felt this weird mixture of emotions. There was immense relief, of course there was. But I’ll never forget the bus journey back to Glasgow because my head was all over the shop, thinking I might just have blown it for everyone else.
