England
22 November 2007So, England are out. Scant consolation, but consolation nonetheless.
McLaren must stay.
Gutted
19 November 2007Absolutely gutted. That’s all I can say right now.
Scotland v Italy Tomorrow
16 November 2007So, here we are on the eve of the biggest match in Scotland’s recent footballing history.
The build up and hype has been incredible. Every newspaper, pub and club in the land has jumped on the bandwagon and whilst there will always be those that ask “Where were you when we were sh***”, it was great to […]
France v Scotland (Part 3)
15 October 2007Continued from France v Scotland (Part 2)
So, the day of the game had arrived.
Myself and THYB woke early, around 7.30 am and decided to get up, get ourselves sorted and out for a McDonald’s breakfast. A gentle kick and the King Of Bebo awoke from his royal slumbers. Bovril however was curled in the foetal position and not […]
McFadden Is Superman
5 October 2007We all knew he had special ability with a ball, but it looks like James McFadden has now developed super-human powers which allow him to fly through defenders
Great to see Faddy on the score sheet again last night, his 6th goal of the season. Keep it up Jamesy!
Scotland v Italy Ticket
3 October 2007After a couple of frustrating days trying to get through on the phone and through the SSC website, I finally managed to order my ticket for Scotland v Italy this afternoon. Section D3 in the North Stand, which is a prime spot.
With the Lithuania home game, the game in Paris, Ukraine at Hampden next month […]
France v Scotland (Part 2)
29 September 2007Continued from France v Scotland (Part 1)
The four musketeers arrived timeously at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, checked our bags in and headed for the airport bar. By this point the beers were starting to bag up a little, so Cider and Blackcurrant was the drink of choice.
It was at this point that myself and The […]
Faddy gets 20 minutes
23 September 2007Once again Faddy drops to the bench today for Everton v Aston Villa and finally gets on with 20 minutes to go when they are already 2-0 down. Sadly (as I have a soft spot for Everton), I think he has to leave in January to find regular football.
It’s 4 years now and he only ever […]
Media Tart
20 September 2007My status as media tart was confirmed this morning as my ugly mug adorned page 5 of the Daily Record. I was snapped leaving Hampden yesterday with THYB, after queuing for Scotland v Ukraine tickets.
There are a lot of unhappy people as there were only 2,500 tickets on sale at Hampden, with each person able to buy up to […]
Ukraine Ticket Purchased
19 September 2007Working till 2am this morning and then up at 5am to queue for Scotland v Ukraine ticket at Hampden. A strong coffee was very much needed.
There were a couple of hundred people in front of me and I finally got my hands on my ticket around 10.00. Could have been worse I suppose and […]
