After going into 2020 full of life’s joys the last few months have been a nightmare for Alex Rae.
Media gigs with Radio Clyde, BT Sport, Ladbrokes, Radio Scotland, TalkSPORT and Sky Sports would be a joy as Steven Gerrard’s side swept to the title, ending eight painful years of hurt that have visibly aged the former Wolves and Sunderland midfielder.
Week by week things have got more and more depressing for Rae, defeats at Hearts and Kilmarnock were hard to take but his voice hit the high notes again as Braga were knocked out of the Europa League.
Being knocked out of the Scottish Cup and losing at home to Hamilton was hard to take, on Thursday night Bayer Leverkusen made it three defeats out of four.
With Celtic in commanding form Rae was left staring at a second legit 9-in-a-row and a possible Quadreble Treble.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. One desperate pundit is getting more desperate with each passing defeat as he turns to flog a horse that has been lame since a jolly in Dubai at the start of the year.
If a horse race ? over a mile starts and one horse is 10 lengths clear and the rest have fallen and the lead horse falls at the last hurdle do they give the lead horse the win as he was in front + does the bookies pay out as a winner ???
Asking for a friend ?

What if the horse dies, they take ownership of a new horse, start of a few grades lower…. call the horse the same name.
Should that horse take all the history of its predecessor.
Ya daft prick. Button it https://t.co/oiZRVN5nsX

But see when a horse dies at the first hurdle and the lead horse wins, does that still count?

A horse race occurs, 1 horse is out front.
An unanticipated event occurs during the race.
After a stewards enquiry the bookies pay first past the post.

What if the winning horse was using steroids to make it a lot faster. Then it transpires that the winning horse was using other horses social taxes to pay for the steroids. Imagine that was the case over ten horse racing seasons. What then Alex? Excuse me I have a runny nose ??

Is your friend an idiot? Did he have a loan that didn’t require repayment but was still a loan? Did he once kick a prostrate opponent in the heid? Did his mammy phone up SSB to patter him up, spout staunchness and gie him a pure-riddy?

If an organization
Steals monies from NHS, OAPs beloved Army, Schools, Charities and even the Poor Face Painter should they have all trophies withdrawn during this time ?
oh and if someone during this time got an illegal £569,000 Loan should he pay it back

The horses are still there, it’s the race that’s been shortened

Tell your friend to use grammar. Without it, their question doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Or why didn’t you just write the question for your friend instead?
