Monkey Tennis Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 54 minutes ago, Billy Jean King said: Also would explain their total apathy after the Nazon red card but just can't be as pre match he made some comments about having practiced penalties. He doesn't strike me as having much emotion, very little encouragement from him (or anger) seems very passive. It would indeed tie in with the apathy on the field in the closing minutes. For him to have believed that though, the entire team would surely have needed to be operating under the same illusion. I love the idea of him being wrong in this way but the explanation is bound to just be a more prosaic one about him having been glad to have survived the away leg against the Premier League side. Still ridiculously unambitious, still embarrassing anyway, and obviously hilarious in the light of how awful the penalties were, but essentially less brilliant than his thinking they were through. I'd love to learn I was wrong though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I think people are reading into the Neilson "celebration" too much. It was a tense, dramatic and pressurised environment, people do weird things. I don't think he was thinking anything. There were people around me doing all sorts at the final whistle from cheering to crying. I don't think it's worth reading anymore into it. I guarantee you if he'd actually thought he'd won his celebration would have been a bit more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He thought Utd were promoted and straight into the Champions League and that's the end of it. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was giving himself a sort of ‘come on’ gesture, that’s been misconstrued as a celebration of getting to the end of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 He did the same at the end of 90 mins so I can't imagine it was anything to do with away goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a catastrophic error and would surely have emerged as such by now. It's a lovely thought though. Had a similar, but reverse, experience at Bolton Wanderers in the Anglo Scottish Cup back in the day. I’d been chucked out the ground earlier (long story) and as it was a Tuesday evening I watched “Its a Knockout” in a pub across from the ground then sneaked back in the home end when they opened the gates with 15 to go. At the end of 90 we’d lost 2-0 (Sam Allardyce double) and as we’d won the home game 4-2 and I was on my tod in the home end, I thought we were out on away goals and headed for the exit. Soon realised no-one else was leaving. Turned out away goals only counted after extra time (odd rule). The rest is history. Jimmy Bone scores. We won the game and later the cup itself. Finally got to leave the ground for the third time, for good, in triumph. They knocked it down and moved to the Reebok a few years later, but I’ve no been back. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This encapsulates (part of) Scottish football perfectly. A 350 year old Irish battle, stoked up in the streets of Glasgow in the 20th / 21st century for commercial gain by "their" clubs, being re-enacted in Turkish pleasure boats in some nightmarish "Spanish Armada" nonsense by people a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Sadly it seems they didnt sink each other.............. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
