was playing myself so wasn't at the game, but from what i have been told the lads were poor and didnt turn up, celtic were the better team and deserved it on the day. it was a massive turnaround from the games i seen celtic in the league and the semi final they were very ordinary and miners played them off the park especially in the semi, but the grand final was the one that mattered and celtic played miners of the park!!!
big game next monday national cup final miners v east should be a cracker if it's out like the last game!!!
What a sh[ii[/ite ending to the season for miners. Said from the start of the season they wern't a patch on the miners sides from the last two seasons but to go all season unbeaten and then not win a trophy is sh[ii[/ite.[/i]
