Scottish Cup Final, Celtic Park, 17/5/14.
Congratulations to St Johnstone on winning their first ever cup final. I watched the game on TV and they were worth the win – though had the Dundee United effort that came off the post in the first half at 0-0 gone in the story might have been different. It didn’t, though, and Dundee United didn’t really create much else, or rather, they weren’t allowed to.
Not being a regular spectator of football in the Scottish top Division – I mostly abjure the highlights shown on Sunday nights and never look at league games – I was pleasantly surprised by the standard of play on display.
My younger son has just moved from Perth and told me that in the run-up to the final Perth town centre shops were all done up in blue – apart from one barber’s shop in tangerine. You could even buy blue beer!
The party will doubtless still be going on.

Blue cakes and by all accounts blue pies as well. I’m not sure what the long term repercussions of ingesting all that blue food colouring may be for the people of Perth.
Congratulations to The Saints. I took in the highlights and they looked well worth the win. It seems top tier Scottish teams are playing with a freedom unseen in years which can only be a good thing.

Yes Gordy,
I can think what the short term repercussions might be….
