Just thought I'd write a wee note after tonight's marvellous win at Killie, one that could define our season.
I managed to watch the game via the web and it perhaps summed up our season - not always pleasing on the eye but gutsy and the team got the goals required to win the game. Tonight's victory comes after a similarly workmanlike performance against St Mirren on Saturday. I, and the rest of the stadium, might have had a bout of brown trousers syndrome when the Saints took a shock lead but we stormed back, equilising within a couple of minutes, and went on to win fairly comfortably in the end.
No-one can fault the effort and performances of our boys this season during difficult circumstances and, in my humble opinion, HM herself should be saying "arise, Sir Walter" in the 2011 New Year's Honours List for the boss's stewardship during such troubled times as well as his contribution to British football in general over the years. Back in September/October I was fearing the worst given our financial situation, but the squad has found incredible inner strength and team spirit to put the Gers within touching distance of retaining the title. Almost as pleasing as the team's performances has been the loyalty shown by the members of this great RSC. Early on this season it looked as though things might not go as we might have hoped, but the team has rewarded us for lots of full buses and great attendances at matches, so well done everyone (even you Sebo).
We now need only six wins to retain the title...let's try to do it in record time eh! Mon the Bears!
