THE NOTAPRODDYGAL – 8/10 – A shuffle and then some. But the name of the game is trust the system and the players you’ve coached to play in it all season. And some you haven’t…*Cough*…Rocky…Then there’s the young-team angle – and we got the Irish JFK (Johnny Flaming Kenny) being encouraged in his first start by the Celtic JFK (John Flaming Kennedy) and nursery school prodigy Sean McArdle thrown in for ten dazzling minutes to exhibit some uplifting finesse. So did The Brodge get pleasure or perplexion from his experiment? Both, I’ll wager. All good though.

MIBBERY – 5/10 – The blind lead the blind. Daizen had a guide dug for them on Saturday and they needed one tonight when that lumpen, sinewy arrangement of angular joints, Gayee, tried to amputate Reo’s lower leg. Not even a foul, or card. Just a fourth official who looks like he does the door on some Shankhill Road Craigy Whyte hole pub Thursday nights when he gets to molest drunk students at the karaoke, squaring-up to The Brodge. They couldn’t contain the Celts on the park so they think they can let us get kicked off it.

  1. McArdle does look like he has something to him. Hope he stays and plays into the team.
