Curtains still closed here, an aboot a third o' ma second bottle still winkin' at ma ... Ah'll see yiz in hell if nae afore

Awee aside tho ... afore Ah start fartin an' dribblin' oot ma mou ... 

If oor famous AFC can learn onythin' fae this WC, it has tae be aboot the the passin' game... as opposed tae lettin the game pass ye by  

Accurate passin' o' the baa is the maist basic o' basics .... somethin' we were embarassinly bad at  some games.

But .... as good a passer ye might be, ye need mair than 360 deg vision ... ye need tae ken there's a similar coloured shirt far ye expect .... even if ye canna see. 

The likes o' Ghana, Paraguay, DRC an' ithers impressed wi' their use o' space an' ability? ... or instinct? tae trap, tame, an pass a baa wi precise weight tae mak it virtually stress free for the recipient. 

OK, maist o' the teams Ah could include as best at the passin' game might be oot, but any success they achieved was on the back o' said skill.

Noo ...  funny thing ... Ah remember a game v Motherwell .... well ower a year ago, a good chunk intae the Thelin 'oomph' ... thon game fan Gueye ran fae the half wye line tae score ... Ah commented tae ma fellow watchers (on oor phones cos we were on the wye tae a gig) ... "Wow .... it looks like onybody on the baa kens far abody else is". ... 

Ah think Ah maybe fkn jinxed it! ... cos it aa went tae fuck fae there  

We had it. We lost it. If we're gonna find it again, we dinna necessarily need mair talented players, we need better teamwork, an' interpersonal understandin'. Ability tae predict a fellow player's moves is way beyond tactical doctrine. 

A good manager/coach is surely one fa signs/picks a team fa disna require his tuppenceworth
