So, after days and days (and days) of Old Firm nonsense, the SFA and the Scottish community at large suddenly remembered yesterday that there is in fact another Scottish Cup semi-final on at the weekend.
So who do they roll out to promote our game? None other than Sackie Sacknamara!!!!
Honestly, they shouldn't have fecking bothered. And surely to feck he should be more concerned with all things York City FC rather than up here doing promotional work about the other team he's relegated this year?
Anyway, moving on, and the Gavin Gunning mess has continued to be, erm, messy. He left by mutual consent earlier in the week but in fact he has not. He's still a United player after his agent told him not to be stupid (a seemingly impossible task for Gavin) so United will be paying his wages until the end of the season. I don't care, as long as he doesn't get selected and Mixu, at his hastily arranged conference yesterday to deal with this issue, has said he won't be selected. I'm happy with that.
The bad news has continued to come in for the club following the bad results at the weekend. Paul Paton looks to have a serious injury and could be out for the rest of the season. It only takes a moment to look at our results before and after he came back into the team earlier this year to see the difference he makes.
Turning back to the semi on Saturday, I believe the ticket sales are sluggish which is no great surprise. I don't think I've ever been more nonchalant about a semi ever. We will most likely be looking at around 7k at the game. I'm not at all looking forward to it.
And then we've got Gordon Parks in the Record coming out with nonsense about how United or Hibs shouldn't get in Europe if we won the cup. Come on Gordon, we both know you'd have said no such thing if Rangers had won the cup last year, so pipe down.
Mon the Terrors....I suppose.

I have high standards.
Unlike people like you who are happy with any old pash served up. How else can you explain why you lot are happy with Carlton Cole and CKR?
Or Ciftci.

I know how you feel about the Record Keny, but honestly have a read of that.
It's fecking ridiculous.
He's basically saying that only the best teams should get into the final. He clearly doesn't understand how cup competitions work.
He's also advocating that the European place United would earn for winning the cup should be taken away and should go to a club who finishes 4th in the league.
Which could be Ross County.
Who we knocked out.
Muppet.

"It’s taken just 270 minutes of football for the pair to reach the semi-final of our most prestigious national cup.
How can it be that you only need to stumble through three games to book your place at a Hampden showcase?
Three games? I’ve checked and double-checked that statistic and it’s as astonishing as it is accurate."
What an absolute chode. He's obviously not very good at checking or double-checking, as Hibs have needed two replays to progress and have therefore played FIVE games over 450 minutes of football.
It never ceases to amaze me how utterly incompetent and lazy some journalists are. How the hell is this guy in a job when he makes such a glaring mistake and then lies about checking his facts?
It genuinely enrages me that I spent so long looking for a job, whilst complete clowns such as this are paid a decent wage to spout utter nonsense. I'm perfectly capable of spouting nonsense too, just check my posting history, so where's my paycheque?
