Scotland at the Euros

Just had something to eat to soak up any alcohol that might be taken and now, sitting in the Lotus position meditating, with my whale calls playing in the background. It's strange, I've listened to those glorious animals before, but, I can definitely hear, yes I sir I can boogie, coming through their song.

Are we allowed to take the piss if you lose or would that disturb your zen like mood? ;)

Fitba Crazy
by James Curran (19th C)
rewritten by Jimmie Macgregor
O ye a’ ken my wee brither, his name is Jock McGraw
He’s lately jined a fitba club , for he’s mad aboot fitba
He’s had two black eyes already an teeth lost frae his gub
Since Jock became a member o that terrible fitba club

O he’s fitba crazy, he’s fitba mad
An the fitba it has robbed him o the wee bit sense he had
An it wid tak a dozen skivvies, his claes tae wash an scrub
Since Jock became a member o that terrible fitba club

The first time he played fitba, I wis there masel an saw.
They had jaikets for the goal posts an a tin can for the ba
An the Provost o Glesga, he wis there, wi lords an ladies grand,
Oor Jock he took an orange box an made a big grandstand

In the middle o the park at Hampden, the captain says “McGraw!
“Wid ye kindly tak this penalty kick or we’ll never win at a’”
He took fifty paces backwards – shot off frae the mark –
An the ba went sailin ower the bar and landed in New York

His wife says she will leave him if he disnae keep
Frae playin fitba every night in bed when he’s asleep
O he ca’s her Charlie Tully ( put in topical football heroes) an ither names sae droll
Last night he kicked her oot the bed an shouted “It’s a goal!”

There are a few songs I hate but only one I really hate and its this one.
Junior Choice was a radio programme on a saturday morning where your relatives could write in and request a song . I was young but already into really good music and I was told to listen to the radio because grandma had requested a song for me. I was expecting Procul Harem, Whiter Shade of Pale but yes, I got this load of shite instead. Thanks grandma, school on Monday was so much fun

I am a war hardened veteran, I can take it. :) Hopefully we can do it though. I would prefer not to be on the receiving end, but I am Scottish, and we know the score 're fucking things up on the park.
 
Well lads. I will away now. I will be back win lose or draw to face the music. Of that have no doubt.. Come on Scotland, time to stand the fuck up.

Erm, good luck. Try and keep it down to two if you can (in each half!) and maybe they might let you score one :)

Maybe so.
Although England have had a few dodgy ones, never understood how David Seaman was rated so highly

Yes, it’s odd to think that Seaman is England’s second most capped goalkeeper, though that may owe more to the fact that he played in an era when clubs increasingly signed foreign keepers.
