To be honest about it, I sometimes wonder whether I’m right in the head.
I have today spent almost 9 hours travelling in excess of 400 miles on public transport going to and from Elgin in the far north of Scotland – and all for one football (soccer) game lasting 90 minutes.
Buckie Thistle FC are not one of the world’s best known teams – and I only have a soft spot for them because of friends who were born and brought up there. Today they played against Elgin City FC in a big cup-tie. It was hoped Buckie Thistle would triumph and get a tie in the next round against one of the giants of Scottish football – preferably Celtic or Rangers.
They lost a lousy match by 1-0. So the dreams for another season are over.
I am very tired and hungry, but before I retire for the evening, I want to dedicate a rather obvious song to James, Rod, Mark, but especially Micky – my travelling companions.
