Something else I noticed at the League Cup final yesterday in the after match interviews was the use by St Mirren’s Steven Thompson of the word “cathartic.”

A footballer who knows what catharsis is and is composed enough to remember it in the flush of victory?

There’s unusual.

What? This early? It’s barely June.

Dundee. At home. On 31/7/11.

Well. There’s a gubbing.

Aren’t they just about the highest placed team we could have got?

This always seems to happen to us.

I see the League Cup is now the Communities League Cup. Sigh.
