CALMAC – 6/10 – Calmac subbed!? Whit? And the game still in the balance? Though not the title, lurking Zombies, eh? Anyway, Calmac had been conducting proceeding as usual without too much fuss or stress, but had been subdued since the break until his hooking. Trouble at t’ mill, we wondered? Nope – The Brodge
had a cunning plan up his sleeve…

THE TERMINATOR – 7.5/10 –…The cunning plan: Stepped into Calmac’s slippers like a butch Belgian Cinderella and they were a perfect fit. Old head on young shoulders, this kid, and the psyche of a seasoned veteran; cool, arrogant and taunting with his penalty; recovery run late in game that was Broony-esque in it’s malevolent
retribution – emerging with the ball and a growl and an opponent rinsed. Said it months ago and been saying it FOR months, virgins – this bhoy’s a player.

HAKUNA HATATE – 7/10 – Hahahahha- fooled you! Absolute mince for an hour then peak Pirlo to seal the points. Channelled Corpus Christie first half as he winged an Easyjet trying to land nearby. It must have been the alarming sight of Calmac’s number on the board and not his that somehow tasered Reo’s baws – sublime closing period to the game where he showcased the splendour of his ability when the planets align.
