‘Dimit-Roo’ get the season going at last

SO, how was it last night? I’m writing this on a Tuesday lunchtime, chuckling at all the mobile phone pix coming into the RedIssue website of various Celts acting the giddy goat around town, which often involves leaving various bodily deposits behind hedges or, in some particularly alcoholic cases, bang in the centre of Piccadilly Gardens.

It is now thoroughly fashionable amongst Warwick Road’s taste-setters to sneer at our Glaswegian cousins – and my very imputation of a familial relationship would be vehemently rejected by many modern Reds — but I had been looking forward to last night as An Event, if not a football match, for weeks.

That said, the second half last Saturday evening wasn’t too shabby either; at times, the OT volume hit decently acceptable levels, as the crowd’s appreciation for Berbatov and Rooney growled delightedly.
