Club trip number 1 of 2005-2006 - and did you know 'Your Mother is Your Sister....'
‘Oceans Twelve’, ‘The Dirty Dozen’, ‘A great Staring 11 plus Joe Sweeney’ – call us what you will but the recent Hearts game saw 12 club members make the trip aided and abetted by Declan McDaid, his mate Sean, and the partners of Stephen McV, Steve, Joe R and Neil. We came from far and wide with the mission of pulling off the great heist of robbing the Jambvos of three precious league points; and all the time while celebrating the pending fifth anniversary of the club, with a last’ing’ supper in the Number 7 restaurant; less of the bread more of the wine! The plan was cold and calculated and required a mastermind – cue send Joe Sweeney to the toilets; thus enabling the orchestration of the operation less his inane ramblings! Tactics were to divide our forces – between the Jock stein and Lisbon Lions stands, and hopefully in doing so enabling us to strike while the irons hot and to part with the top of the SPL table position. To pull off the coup we needed a diversion – cue Joe Sweeney again and a songsheet comprising the infamous ‘Your Mother Is Your Sister’! The initial plan went smoothly as Craig Beattie sent the Hoops into a 1-0 lead, but things didn’t last as confusion in the defence (later blamed on ‘some eejit singing my father was brother!’ – P.Telfer 15/10/05) saw Hearts draw level, a scoreline that was to last til the end of the game, and which ensured that Hearts remained top of the table … for the time being!!! It was an entertaining encounter and in all honesty a draw was probably a fair result. The draw presented the Forces of Darkness with the opportunity to close the abyss between them and the tope two teams; but we can always rely on Big Eck and his Z-Team to give us a snigger or two. B.A. (s.t.a.r.d.) Feruson, Hairy Ball McLeish, Face (You’d Love To Slap) Ricksen, and Mad Dado Murdoch, all contrived to fall into the trap set by Colonel Decker Chisholm, and failed to take all 3 points on offer thus maintaining the status quo – ‘Don’t You Just Love It When A Plan Comes Together!’. All in a great weekend was had, a fair result obtained, and top of the table spot kept warm by Hearts for us til we felt it appropriate to take our rightful position! ‘Sasparillas Are On Me!!’
