Callum Baird, we salute you…
It’s a very rare occasion when JOE complains about watching a game of football but we all know the feelings associated with watching a dour, miserable and soul-destroying 0-0 borefest.
While this type of football might excite George Graham, we always swayed more on the Kevin Keegan side of things; 5-4 with ‘last-man back’ rules applying.
Who actually needs to defend when we can score more than the opposition?
Having cut our football reporting teeth watching endless dour matches – a 0-0 between UCD and Galway United at a rainy and windswept Belfield springs to mind – JOE can relate to the problem of having to make an awful game sound interesting when it was, in fact, terrible.
Callum Baird, we owe you a pint. The whole report is brilliant but the the final five words made us laugh the most.
How do football writers pad out reports of dreary goalless draws? Today’s Herald has a masterclass from Cappielow: pic.twitter.com/hIKZauQKkz
