The race for the Title in Scotland this year also culminated in a last stand , this time between a bunch of lame ducks competing against dead ducks.Alas the lame ducks done their job so well , the dead ducks came out on top , giving a new meaning to the phrase dead heat.
The real architects of this miraculous season was the Board , but this is the story of the fall guy.
The last day of the season was the clash of the Titans ( well tic-huns ), this set of games will have everything: poor passing ; first touches like a barndoor; sclaffs ; hysterical activity at the dugouts and thats just when the teams were warming up before going into the dressing room to get their kit on.
Whatever happened it should be Gingers last stand.Even if all went right it would be a bitter taste win.If it went wrong it would will be bitter on the stands.In fact , infighting among supporters in the stands if the Celtic performance petered out and events at Tannadice went in favour of the Huns was a source of much speculation and concern.
Below is an artistic representation of what the infighting in section 404 could have looked like looked like.(Well if Colin Powell can use artistic cartoon cutout representations why not us).
( As you can see the swear words have been dubbed by grunts).
In the event Gingers last stand was a pitiful damp squib , the theme and motto of the season. The lethargy and lack of urgency on the pitch infected the fans and everyone left in a tiptoe dirge like fashion , some before the whistle (including the players it would seem) and most after the whistle.
Well Celtic spent most of the season trying to turn us into stone , at this rate CP could turn into the worlds biggest cathedral.This weekend the fait accompli reached its zenith.
Celtic have been making innovative and valiant attempts to lose the league for a couple of seasons now.But they are no match for the Gers.No matter what imaginative schemes we come up with to give up leads; or go one better and have no leads to give up in the first place, the gers match us ; then lower the bar further.Alas we finally cracked it and left the Gers high and dry at the top of the heap with no option to return.To be fair to them Rangers provided a lot of laughs , but , unfortunately so did we.
Strachan does have to accept responsibility for failing to put the best players on the park at the same time for other than entirely professional reasons.
All in all the difference in Gingers Last Stand as opposed to Custer was that Custer had more imagination and vision.
But in the interests of fairness the last word should go to Ginger himself , speaking at the Tommy Burns Tribute match.
