On the eve of the Partick 1st leg and the almost-eve of the cup final, I just wanted to press pause and give the club some credit for recent events.
Between the cup run, fixture shuffles and play-offs, they`ve had to run on the hoof for weeks and weeks now, delivering multiple ticket sales with very few hitches. Communication has been good throughout and we`re hearing very few grumbles about the actual delivery and execution of things. I think they deserve a lot of praise for this.
On the pitch, we`re maturing into a squad that`s difficult to beat in the big games. The young players are gaining unbelievable experience that will stand them in good stead for a promotion push next year, if the play offs don`t pan out for us. Neil Lennon and his team are getting way more right than they`re getting wrong, and is getting more likeable and more entrenched inside the Pars as the days go by.
I think back to the double header of away games last year v Falkirk and Rovers, two utterly dreadful performances, and if you could give me a window into where we`d be now, I`d have tried to buy whatever drugs you were on. It was definitely a "what`s the point of all this" moment to be a Par at the time and just incredible to witness the turnaround. Aberdeen & Falkirk games in particular (and getting to experience them with my kids) would make the most cynical of cynics fall in love with the game all over again.
If the next 2 or 3 weeks end in disappointment or - worse - heartbreak, then I want to focus on the fact we`re going in the right direction as a club for the first time in ages.
