CWC1983

Hearts are in for a tough time today. 1991, we went to Ibrox on the last day needing a draw to pip Rangers to the title. I went down without a ticket but picked one up for £80 in the Aberdeen end 30 mins before the ko. I remember the noise and hostility in the ground before ko, but we were not worried, we were on a winning run and Rangers had lots of injuries. Our regular keeper Theo Snelders was injured so started with a young lad Micheal Watt in goals. The 1st minute, Rangers launched a long ball into the box, Mark Hateley basically committed gbh on the keeper and he lost all confidence and composure. Peter Van de Ven was clean through to put us 1 up and he tried to dink it past Woods and failed miserably. Not long after Hateley scored and we never got back into the game. The crowd definitely swayed the officials in every challenge, every 50/50, and we went home thinking what might of been. Celetic Park will be a cauldron today, however if Hearts get a chance to 1 up they might just do it. Either way, it's been the best season up North for a while, record crowds, a struggling Old firm and real passion in the stands at most games.

I think its a 50/50 game. Thistle have had 2 weeks off and rested, St Mirren have a very inexperienced manager.

That's 2 decent goals.

Trusty, that's terrible defending. He turns to jelly when facing Chermiti

I'm hoping for a Celtic win, just to take it to a winner takes all on the last day.

Falkirk up next, 3 points to Hearts. Honestly can't see Celtic picking up 9 points v Rangers, Motherwell away and Hearts at home.

Really good to see the Motherwell support come out in numbers, I can't remember seeing such a big home crowd. Both sets of fans creating a decent atmosphere.

Could be almost done next week, Hearts win at Motherwell, Rangers to take something off a weak Celtic. The daggers will be out for Rohl, too many passengers that cost a lot of money in that team. Good on Hearts, they've got the momentum, I'm almost coming round to them winning it.

Unfortunately Im having to cancel the holiday. My fragile neck and shoulder have decided to give up on me and I'm out of action for 6 weeks minimum. The joys of sitting in front of a computer screen for 35 years taking it's toll on my posture.

Great views from over the river, up the hill. You can walk it. Go early and go up the Duomo, its a narrow staircase, wouldn't fancy it mid day and busy. Basically, walk everywhere, soak in the culture, try the Bistecca and wine.

Micky Moore has turned into a decent player this season. Not sure what Spurs will so with him next year. Hearts can't be as bad 2nd half.

I should be, but, it's like you boys supporting Forest in a 3 horse race with Man City and Arsenal

Trust me, I look other days and you've all got it in 4 attempts and I've not got 1 connection 🤣.

Expect Hearts to go for Rangers straight away, long balls turning the defence and picking up 2nd balls.

Ross County dropping into L1 which is a shame because its one of the best away days. They were most peoples favourites for Promotion this season. Roy Mcgregor owns Global Energy and has been bank rolling them for years, there's a real risk he withdraws funds and they go back into the Highland League.
