Bloody Rangers

Normally I don’t give a crap about the Scottish Premier League. I mean, it’s just the same as the English Premier League, but exactly half the size – even down to having a Big Two instead of a Big Four. But right now it’s pissing me off.

One of the two most important games in the footbal calendar is on tomorrow with a 12:45 kickoff – the forces of filth and darkness v Newcastle United. It’s on Sky Sports 1, as it always is when the mackem scum actually surface into the Premiership for a brief period. Therefore every pub up and down the land should be showing it.

Only up here, they’re not. Because ******* Glasgow Rangers are playing ******* Hamilton Academicals at 12(*******)30.

This is the equivalent of Liverpool v Everton being ignored in favour of Manchester United vs Spurs. A foregone conclusion, no real history, a nothing match. Of no real consequence except to those directly involved. And for half of them it’s how much their goal difference will improve while the rest are worried about damage limitation.

Thankfully I’ve managed to find out that my auntie’s husband’s brother’s son has Sky and I’ve been told I can pop over there to watch it. It’s screwed around something rotten with my timetable for the weekend, but it’s one game I can’t miss.

Bloody SPL. It’s not like anyone really gives a **** about Third World Football anyway.
