Delusion is strong with them. They get a bit better, but get themselves into a froth of being the new Barcelona. This is fanned by an overwhelming tv and written press who support them and get on the Stevie Express.
When we played them the first time this season, every Sevconian wether a fan or in the press thought they would beat us. That the tide had turned. We fucking pissed all over them and should have scored six.
Our dip in form and failures in the summer, for they were legion, gave them hope which instantly turns to over confidence.
We have returned to better form and now the realisation of where they actually are, as opposed to where they thought there were, is beginning to dawn. The vitriol now directed at their Messiah is coming out. It isn’t pretty, and by no means all, but a large contingent return to their ibate religious bigotry and are calling him catholic, Fenian etc.
Now, as I said, it’s not all. My best pal is a Sevconian fanatic, but not a bigot. He’s a Rangers man. He only wants his team to be good and couldn’t give a flying fuck what religion they are. This goes for all my pals who support the gers.
But there are dark forces who support them. They have the exact same mentality as the most extreme NI prods. Hatred.
So this morning is one of those moments I love. I actually enjoy them getting over enthused, deluded, over confident for the simple reason their fall into the despair pit is higher and causes more pain.
We have our issues that need to be addressed in January. But by fuck, even without the reinforcement’s we desperately need, we are still on a different level. Step up in January and not fuck up CL qualification, then this money will keep us there and hopefully allow us to go away in Europe and out up at least a fight. Which right now we can’t.
We will never be challenging for fuck all in Europe, but giving a good account of ourselves, getting 3rd in the group would be magic for us and being still in Europe after Christmas is our realistic goal. If we get the players in to improve us. If we don’t then that’s even more a pipe dream than Sevco winning the league.
But at least I realise that. They don’t. Which is fucking hysterical.
Anyway I am away to text my best pal. He needs me right now. I do what I can . :)
