Voice of Reason: 21 May 2009

AND so it comes down to this. It's all on the line in a shootout of underwear-wetting proportions.

Come 5pm on Sunday, our future will lie at either end of a dramatic scale.

And it all goes down in Airdrie. Beautiful.

This has all the hallmarks of 1998 at Firhill when we relegated Partick Thistle and saved our own skins.

An enormous occasion with thousands of Ayr fans in attendance.

This weekend will be exactly the same.

Best behaviour required from our legions – let’s get out of this division and enjoy it.

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to dance.

SO the Airdrie games are being screened live on BBC Alba. This is tremendous news.

All those with Sky Digital can tune in to Scottish football’s biggest clash of the season.

My celtic contacts tell me this channel is big up north.

And the VoR has been brushing up on his Gaelic ahead of such a bold transmission.

For example, I know that the Gaelic for “Prunty shoots” is “Prunty siuthads”. Incredible stuff.

MY former client Gareth Wardlaw has been back in touch.

The G Dogg is out of footballing work after being punted by Raith. Sad times.

But he’s coming home, my friends. He’s coming home.

For Wardlaw is teaming up with the legendary Jerome Vareille to come and support us at Airdrie.

A strikeforce that once struck fear into the hearts of many a defence.

Good to have them back.

MANAGED to get through my weekend of stress at the cricket.

Was kicking back with my beer and copy of The Times when all hell broke loose at Somerset.

I then had to leave my seat in the Pavilion stand and go walking like an expectant father in a maternity ward.

The tension, my friends, was simply too much.

It looked like we were falling flat on our faces while the VoR was hundreds of miles away.

Quite simply it was a guilt trip too far.

Myself and colleague Alastair Cole were in so much pain we were practically giving birth between 4-4.45pm.

But the beer, she tasted good on Saturday night.

INCREDIBLE scenes over in betting corner. Dougie Morton has produced a Holywood movie script to storm from NOWHERE and force last day drama.

The VoR leads by just one point as we hurtle towards the final week.

Quite frankly you couldn’t make this nonsense up.

And should the Ayr United lottery guru win, I’ll only have myself to blame.

Capitulations of this nature are unacceptable.

But I’m determined to put this boy in place and net the money for my charity.

To finish, Morton goes Sunderland 0, Chelsea 2.

VoR says Arsenal 3, Stoke 0.
