It could either be in the village or indeed in the city. Either way, people expect me to drink. One person was aghast when I declared my intention to remain utterly sober throughout the game.
The game, of course, is Celtic v Arsenal. I don't tend to drink during Celtic games as I prefer to maintain concentration. When I drink my mind wanders and I could completely miss some tactical nuance. And that won't do at all.
The other reason I won't be drinking tonight is that Celtic are playing Arsenal who are a very fine team indeed. In some ways the best in England. So there's a decent chance we might get beat. And if we do, then I'll be on a low. If I was drinking it would only make the low lower than it needs to be.
If we win, though, I will indulge in an unfeasibly large whisky and crabbies by way of celebration. A draw might even justify this action.
C'mon the Hoops!
