kin hell, has Steve Evans been taking lessons off Cantona	Permalink
"I said last week that Tom [Lawrence] is like a lighthouse in a dark ocean, and when he scores a goal and works as hard as that, you know he's a lighthouse in a dark ocean with a nice bottle of red wine waiting for you when you get there." Almost as good as the classic seagulls following the trawler. __________________

I heard him say that and was baffled at the time....I could attempt a possible explanation for the lighthouse but the wine? Any offers? __________________

I read it as Tom is an outstanding player. The bottle of red wine is the reward for all the hard work on the day. The hard work and the goal could have been described as the the icing on the cake. However, I much prefer Steve Evan's analogy. I hope there are more to follow.

Clearly a reference to the existential complexity of EVO and RUFCs relationship to the dilemma of commercialism and modernism in juxtaposition to his grass roots in working class Glasgow and the plight of the ship yards in glasgow and smokies in arbroath.

The lighthouse is the light within the working class that is like a beacon in the storms of materialism to which the human heart can become shipwrecked upon.

Tom lawerence is the son of sons, who having risen above the limits of the father is the promise of future hope.

The red wine is the blood of sacrifice and the celebration of renewal and harvest.

I'm surprised, as no doubt EVO is, that it wasn't more obvious.
