When you are in the business of writing drama it is a bit sore to see how reality can best you at every turn.
Last night Planet Fitba witnessed a dramatic development that no one could have foreseen.
Not even the prescient Stenography Corps who keep us up to date with all the billionaire news at Ibrox could have called this one!
It would appear that the club with the biggest football budget has, somehow, also managed to have the best squad of players.
Now, some say that this has a connection to the fact that they are currently at the top of the league with more points than anyone else.
Does more money equal a sporting advantage?
Dear reader these are uncharted waters and Alfredo is rigged for silent running…
The favourite of the Stenography Corps showed his true qualities last night.
As Celtic were making waves at Parkhead, Alfredo went to periscope depth in order to chisel out an undeserved winner at Rugby Park.
Scroll to 1.47.
It says a lot about Sevco’s star man that when the going gets tough his is willing to go that extra fathom for the team.
In the post-match interview, Mr Let’s Go looked a somewhat crushed figure.
At some point, he will work out that a glib and shameless liar talked him into accepting a starring role in the wrong movie.
He conceded that his Gumtree Galacticos suffer from a “mentality” problem.
In that, the current crop at Sevco is at one with the Ibrox klanbase.
This chap, in particular, didn’t seem to be taking it well last night.
Although Mr Gerrard didn’t name-check the champions there is only one side in the league that are worthy of the description he used:
“Relentless”.
Of course, it is the hope that gets you in the end.
Exhibit “A”.
On Sevco messageboards there were some criticism of Mr Gerrard’s in-game management.
Well, there is no substitute for experience…
One that score Celtic also has the advantage.
Now dear reader I must return to an invented world.
In doing so I am in the same mental space as the Ibrox klanbase.
Indeed, they have been living in an invented feelgood world since the summer of 2012.
Have a great day!

What’s it all about Alfie ?
Have you seen the latest statement from the union bears?
Ranting about a podcast bringing derision on the support and insisting that the podcast be halted until the end of the season story said derision.
I’ve re-read it three times to check it definitely wasn’t intended to be ironic.
I see former DOF Gordon Smith turns up this morning as Craigie boy’s book is published opining that Whyte knew nothing about the game when he took the reins at Ibrox.
That will be the same Gordon Smith captured by Sky in the world famous car park as things went tits up claiming he knew nothing about anything.
Aye Gordon, thats perfectly believable, just about sums you up.
After the midweek results there seems a large element on the blue side who have thrown in the towel, no surrender to surrender yes, with their focus now on the Scottish Cup.
Can the Hearts team pumped at Celtic Park end the Ibrox club’s domestic season in a few weeks time?
If so Stevie G better be prepared for the shitstorm heading his way whilst a historic quadruple treble looms large over Celtic Park.
These sevco fuck ups are fair fucking up your Word Mines retreat. Keeping in mind the fact you’ve brought us something pretty much every day this week, and that every time you bring us news it’s rarely good news for sevco I’m definitely laying the blame at their door!!
Looking forward to your next piece already because it means something else will have gone wrong in Govan. Hope, however, it’s after you get peace to do your other stuff.
Incidentally, I hear that a RED WEATHER ALERT has been issued in Govan. It’s gone down to MINUS 10.
And still no sign of the £10m required to keep them afloat this season ?
“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in”…Phil, were you not supposed to be incommunicado for a couple of Weeks?.
How can Keith jackson write a match report on Celtic v hearts when he’s banned from paradise?
It wasn’t on uk tv so I guess he wrote his drivel after listening on radio?
Or is he plagiarising another’s work?
He was asked to write it by his chief editor. It was to be a 1000-word puff piece, but he was told to leave out any references to Motherwell-born billionairs this time around. 😉
Gumtree Galacticos :). Their sense of entitlement no’s no bounds. When reality hits them they don’t know how to handle it. Just waiting to see or hear get that F——-n B——-d out. That would keep in line with their way of thinking
