England

22 November 2007

So, England are out. Scant consolation, but consolation nonetheless.
McLaren must stay.

Gutted

19 November 2007

Absolutely gutted. That’s all I can say right now.

So, 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 2007

Continued 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 […]

Scotland v Italy Ticket

3 October 2007

After 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 2007

Continued 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 2007

Once 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 2007

My 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 2007

Working 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 […]

Get It Round You Trezeguet

18 September 2007

I don’t think we’ll ever tire of seeing David Trezeguet’s face when Faddy’s goal went in last week. The man who promised to “punish Scotland” simply couldn’t believe it.
Some superb videos on YouTube, in particular this one The death of a clown. Also a great one devoted to Faddy.
Everyone feel free to leave a message […]
