They could have been Rangers fans in disguise?...

Although the best players in the world back in the 60s earned an above average living in retirement. A better comparison would be how an unused sub goalie from a Champions League final these days will end his days....

A party of political whores, no wonder their number of voters is evaporating......

I had no idea John Fallon was a Lisbon Lion. Didn't think any subs were allowed then, but you could use a substitute keeper in Europe. Every day's a school day...

Forgot about Ireland and England, but yeah that's pretty unbelieveable that they've never met at the RWC, they've even played in the Rugby League version!

Interesting, cheers. Looks like that Iberia option from Edinburgh could also make long haul Avios redemptions more viable by skirting around the huge charges you incur flying BA from Heathrow.... http://www.headforpoints.com/2015/02/01/redeem-avios-iberia-plus/

Interesting reading Cliff Hanley's obituary he never intended Scotland The Brave to be anything other than a music hall novelty song. It seems to have struck a chord with the populace at the time... "With the musician Ian Gourlay, he wrote some marvellously witty parodies of Scottish folk songs, substituting institutions like the Glasgow underground for Granny's Hielan' Hame. He was astonished when, having put words to an old pipe tune for use in a variety show, he found Scotland The Brave emerging as the de facto national anthem. It remained so for two decades before being supplanted by Flower Of Scotland. Of course, Cliff's tongue-in-cheek verses were never designed for mass singing, as was evidenced by the confused expressions on the faces of the national soccer team when they struggled to get their bagpipes, heather and glens in the right order. But played at full tilt by a pipe band, the anthem struck the appropriate note of terror into the opposition." http://www.theguardian.com/news/1999/aug/14/guardianobituaries2 A talented man, he also scripted this classic "The Bowler and the Bunnet":- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bDCqRtjd6Y

Thinking about this more I think Scotland and New Zealand must be the only teams to have met in all those tournaments. I can't think of any other permutation that fits?...

Quite a stat all the same!

Simply pooling and sharing resources that's all...

Good stuff. I should've clarified are there any other airlines you can use Avios on that fly from GLA/EDI? Given that BA take you to London only...

Made 'em sweat a bit in the end. Only a 3 wicket defeat...

Going to sort out a weekend away with the missus next spring before the booking window closes in April. One last chance to go Club Europe before we get priced out. Any other Avios options from GLA/EDI?

Better than it was looking!

Just preparing himself for uni...

Another dubious point from Jim Murphy on Scotland Tonight, he said he watched the 1980 cup final while he was at primary school but he was nearly 13 at the time

Agreed SH, can't see the point at Killie tbh, plenty of opportunity for a pint before and after (sometimes it's even decent). No need for a watered down Fosters during the game. PS - Darryl Broadfoot wheeled out by the SFA!

He just cannae score goals! Reminds me of the recently mentioned Brian McClair, an intelligent player with great technique but poor instinct in the box...

Pleased to see it's not just mine... http://m.scotsman.com/news/politics/top-stories/labour-s-kezia-dugdale-says-father-is-snp-member-1-3691236

We must be the first team to play New Zealand at the football, rugby & cricket world cups?...

A load of Edinburgh No voters would be supporting England at the weekend anyway...

Watching this on the news now. Potential disaster if this was to happen... http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-31490010

"Evasive action" says Roy. Get that in the rule book Sepp...

Looked a pen from the state of the keeper's challenge. (Disclaimer - I'm lying in a hospital bed with my specs off)
