More Metaphors

By: Matt | April 25th, 2008

test Here in the little bubble from the outside of the world that I like to call “College-Land”, final examinations week is up coming. This where everything you learned comes back and you use it to ultimately succeed when it counts. You study harder than you have all year, perhaps cramming some info that you never learned in the first place. Sure, there are distractions, as people will be saying “Aw, come out to the bars, it’s your last weekend here!” but you’ve got to focus, because it is now or never. Well this situation can be paralleled to the Celtic Football Club very well. Think of Celtic as your average B student this year. They started off the year decently enough, doing well early in classes (being in first place for the first part of the season). They got a little cocky and thought “Why not drink before the night of the test? I know that shit well enough and it’s History 101! That class is sooooo easy!” but of course their grade on said test was not so pretty (early losses to Hibernian, Inverness Caley Thistle). Then that fucking Physics class came! Who fucking needs Physics? It’s so fucking hard, even when he gives it his best! (Being knocked out of the Champions League by giants Barcelona). After that bad grade in Physics, the student got a little frustrated with school and decided to “not give a fuck” as the kids say these days (draws with Falkirk, Motherwell, being knocked out of the cup by Aberdeen).

But now the end of the year is coming, and the student has realized he better get his act together. The big tests are coming up (the split beginning) and he better prepare and pull it all together. He’s gotten some A’s recently (Winning three straight games over Motherwell, Rangers, and Aberdeen), but he can’t get cocky. Constant preparation is the key, especially in that Chemistry class where the Professor is a real dickhead (Rangers). He’s got to remember the atomic weight of plutonium (or remember that Rangers are going to pack the back, so get the ball outside to Aideninho and Naka and let them create). He’s got to stick with the methods that have brought him success (Playing Barry Robson and Paul Hartley, who have had three great games together and leave the eligible Scott Brown on the sidelines), and finally he’s got to have faith in him self (Keep the Faith!)

If you’re looking for not poorly constructed metaphors for your Rangers game preview, I suggest checking out Lord of the Wing! I might give it a real go tomorrow!

I’ll at least give my ideal lineup for Sunday:
Boruc
Hinkel Caldwell McManus Naylor
Nakamura Hartley Robson McGeady
