Re: Bobby Grant (again!)
From a high to a low in a fortnight.
When STFC got their second goal and pulled back to 2 - 2 v Liverpool - and looked like they could win it, Ricketts was paraded on national tv as a hero.
And then back to the bread and butter of league fixtures on a cold windy February night and a defeat to little Accrington on home soil - hero to villain but their form since Christmas has been poor - they wont go down but the natives are far from happy.
I remember the great Arsenal FA cup match - moreso because I couldn't go - but the next week having been in the national news all week we were at home in the league to Maidstone United - I turned up full of excitement and ecstatic expecting the cup fever to be buzzing - alas hardly anyone else turned up and we played out a boring 0 - 0 draw. I suppose the message is there are more low moments in football - that's what makes the high ones which rarely come around even more special for the likes of us.
