A title sure to draw the attention of our more senior readership I am sure.
I spent a perversely enjoyable 90 mins on Saturday afternoon cocooned between an elderly sage from Aberdeen and a passionate and voluble Invernessian. The latter provided a colourful commentary for the spectacle in front of us. Hardly a feast of silky skills and glorious interplay it was indeed deserving of some of the RICH and varied adjectives delivered. A veritable thesaurus of condemnation and criticism was hurled forth by this increasingly hoarse and irate spectator. Blood pressures were reaching critical levels when in the 97th windswept and sodden moment the referee did the humane thing and blew for full time. As if a switch had been thrown my neighbours' demeanour became that of the silent vanquished..........without hope. We parted company.
Within the hour I was listening to an eloquent, level-headed,rational,articulate and good humoured gentleman engaging Jim Traynor in an intelligent and rounded discussion on ICT's current plight.
Could this have been the same man? What metamorphisis had taken place? Were drugs involoved?
This truly was a 21st Century Schizoid Man
PS For those who didn't hear him, JT said that he thought that CB would get until the end of the season or until we were well detached....................hope he is wrong!
