Lady Grendel 139 Posted October 11, 2008 Well it certainly isn't Chris Iwelumo . So does that mean that we are out of the Euro thingy already? I heard someone saying that we 'had to win' this match? Not quite yet Windsor, we are still in 2nd place in the group although we've played 1 more match than 3 of the other teams, no doubt we'll do the usual, play magnificently against Holland and get gubbed by Macedonia etc, somehow ensuring it all comes down to the last match where we do that Scottish thing known as 'snatching defeat from the jaws of victory' .

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted October 23, 2008 For me, the greatest Scotsman of the last few months is singer-writer James Allan. Quite why I find this Proclaimers-sing-Be My Baby-backed-by-JAMC nonsense so affecting is beyond me, but then pop's a funny old game, Saint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

halleluyahjohntudor 5 Posted November 11, 2008 According to this it may well turn out to be Mr. Obama , is there anyone in the USA that doesn't have Scottish or Irish ancestry? The Gaelic fraternity can certainly lay claim to the Oaklahoma bomber. And I guess the same would have to be said for John McCain, in which case the US election was an extended-family affair.
