  • Dark Days

    First, Rangers get beaten in the UEFA Cup final, then a core of arsehole Rangers fans decide to rampage across Manchester’s city centre, and now news that Celtic legend Tommy Burns has died. These are dark days for Scottish football.

  • Scotland 1, France 0

    This surely says it all: Gary Caldwell scores for Scotland against France, Hampden Park, 2006-10-07 I was in McPhabb’s for this game, and the atmosphere was unbelievable. What a great day to be a Scotsman. Oh, view the French reaction too!

  • Wha’s Like Us? Damn Few, And We’re Aw Pished!

    The Scottish Executive is planning new reforms in Scotland’s licensing laws including bans on happy hours and other “irresponsible” promotions.
