Let it go, dude.
Too many times we dwell on what we did wrong when we should face the future and wait for the next chance to do the right thing.

I remember seeing a clip of Fergie, when he was managing Aberdeen, and they had just won the Scottish Cup, and on TV he lashed out at his team:
“And I’m not caring, winning cups doesn’t matter. Our standards have been set long ago and we’re not going to accept that from any Aberdeen team. No way should we take any glory from that.”
That’s why he’s the G.O.A.T.
He’s a great manager and an inspiring figure. It’s surprising to hear him voice regret over something as he always seemed to plow through problems when he was an active coach. Retirement must have given him time to look back a little. A five second moment in time fifty years ago when a guy who held power over his career slighted his wife’s religion, and he shrugged it off, bugs him to this day. Something powerful about that.
Devout Catholics don’t get married in a registry office. But yeah, he should have told the boss to F off anyway.
This was pretty normal until the 80s.
Now Glaswegians are largely non-religious, BUT the Celtic/Ranger divide is still there.
