When I was watching the Pars losing a semi-final to Falkirk I decided that my only hope was to pray to god and ask for help.
After spending 30seconds or so decideing WHICH god I should ask, I decided that Anshar would be the best choice.
Anshar is not only the sky-pivot, which is relevant to the fact that Dunfermline were faring badly because of their "punt and pray" tactics, but also it hit upon me to be a bit sneaky and ask a parent of the supreme god (An/Anu) to intervene on my behalf in the hope that they might have slightly more clout with the most powerful of the gods than some lowly human might have. Basically, I was following the chain of command.
Not surprisingly, it didn't do any good and after about five minutes of pleading An decided to award Falkirk a penalty and made it worse.
So, my question is: why hast An forsaken me? Did I ask wrong? Maybe I was a bit desperate? Possibly Anshar or An are Falkirk fans and were playing with my feeble human emotions? Or maybe, just maybe, one of the other gods got all jealous and shit and decided to punish me for favouring Anshar?
Either way, I forgot all about this when the Cops decided to kettle the Pars fans after the game and hold them until the Falkirk fans had left.
Now, as the winning team, having just beaten their rivals and reached a cup final, the Falkirk fans took quite a while to leave. Meanwhile at least three innocent Pars fans were attacked by the police (one for assisting a slightly built female officer who had fallen over whilst the stricken officer was begging her colleague to stop attacking her rescuer).
My second question is: why did the police decide to detain the losing (and angry) fans who simply wanted to go home and hold them for the entire time it took the victorious (and happy) fans to finish celebrating and finally disperse? When the sensible thing would be to hold the victorious fans and allow them to celebrate away to their hearts' content while the losing fans simply slunk off home?
Is it, maybe, because the police are fucking idiots?
Yes. Yes it is.
