Totally cringeworthy and titled Back Hame. Most of these songs are cringeworthy of course but the 74 album takes some beating. Still got it though with my ripped out Dundee Sporting Post results and tables page all filled in in ballpoint pen. Collectors' item or what? £4.00. Bit of an eclectic mix. A few songs by the squad and then some random non-football songs by Scottish artists to fill it up. https://www.discogs.com/Scotland-World-Cup-Squad-Scotland-Scotland/release/779017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest allyc Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Does anyone remember a single that came free with the official guide to the 1990 world cup... went something like. "England,Scoland, Ireland too, You've made the final so good luck to you,the hardest part has just begun but in the end we'll cry they've won.."

Billy 2 Boots Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Last time I dug this album out, was just before our last ever finals match, a 0-3 loss to Morocco in 98. Its been gathering dust in the loft ever since! Edited August 18, 2016 by Billy 2 Boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bremner talks against a backdrop sound of Scotland the Brave I think it is (album in loft and I am offshore). Something like, 'My name's Billy Bremner- although I've played in England all my life, the only thing I think of when I pull on that blue jersey is.......Scotland'. Cue increased music volume. Corny like but stirring stuff when you are 15 years old, living in England and full of drink! I think Marmalade are on it. The band that is. Chirpy, chirpy cheep, cheep. The whole album Is certainly a rich source of utter crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes on about the terraces of hampden and the stadiums of France. I used to have it,but ended up watching too much porn and killed my laptop. Thanks in advance. I know the one you're on about, but can't remember the name of it. I'm sure it used to be on Paul Nata's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics are something else indeed https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Primal-Scream/The-Big-Man-and-the-Scream-Team-Meet-the-Barmy-Army-Uptown found that CD in the house yesterday after reading this thread. that "tune" is pretty awful.. it's the usual Primal Scream trippy melodies circa that period of their work. you can barely hear the lyrics on the track though which is probably a good thing. I hadn't realised it was Irvine Welsh at the time as it sounded like the mumblings of Aidan Moffat from Arab Strap. I really dig the Fannies but no thought has gone into their effort whatsoever. it was either written in 5 mins or was an extra riff that they hadn't used up to that point and just repeats on and on "Hey Everybody, everybody" x 100". to be honest I'd forgotten all about them being on that CD.
