Was at the Official 13th Note in King Street Saturday to my mate's band IBG, brilliant as always. Also on the bill, The Beattie Brothers, Ranzas (from Ayr) & top of the bill Nana White Pepper (from Blackpool). A good wee night.
Final score 5-1 Shettleston who play their last game of the season at home to EK Thistle on Saturday, if they win then we're down, a draw or a loss & we have to win our last two games.
Maryhill's home record is worse that ours, 3 wins out of 12 games but one lives in hope. Their manager would rather be playing us next season than Shettleston...fact!!!
I live in the West of Glasgow so we don't really have any out & out shitholes but there a few well known "stab inns" if that counts. I've been in some dives in the farther reaches of Ayrshire & Lanarkshire though, mainly ex-mining villages.
Even if we do win our remaining four games I don't think that will be enough. No game on the 20th, Maryhill away on the 27th then nothing until 18th & 25th May (Lugar Boswel & Wishaw respectively). We will be relying on results elsewhere & tbh we could be relegated long before our games in May.
We're running out of games & playing the top two a week apart doesn't help but Saturday's result should boost the team's confidence no end. The teams round about us all have games in hand on us too.
Regularly still listen to The Clash - seminal 1st album; IV Rattus Norvegicus - Stranglers; Scared to Dance - The Skids; Electric Warrior - T-Rex to name but a few.
