As above mate the rugby club is normally full of jocks

Also most of the oil in the north sea has nothing to do with Scotland

There is oil left. Media just says different

I think it's alluding to Scots and football that has murdered this thread....

Eh......excuse me??? What exactly do you mean by that?

The whole point of the thread, if you had bothered to read it, was to see if there were any other Scots who wanted to watch football

Thanks,grasped the concept.It's just that ..well most Scots seem to be following
rugby.
Marginally less embarrassing than footballing national performances?

Scots and football in the same sentence?

The draw with The Faroe Islands stands out.

The Faroe Islands couldn't get a full team out - they had a dog in goal....

Christ as the better have of a Scottish/Irish couple I've never had any of this sort of talk!!

I find it much easier to hang about with Scottish folk, it means I can turn of the subtitles when I'm trying to have a conversation.........

I hope you find a nice load of people to hang about with in Doha, there seems to be loads of Scots around everywhere, and way more in Dubai than I ever met in AD, weird that......

I went to a hotel in Cumbernauld with a German colleague a few weeks back, speaks perfect English, he even married one

the lass in the hotel spoke to him and he didn't get a single word, he turned to me and asked if she was speaking English

Inability to understand the locals is something that most of my German and American visitors experience.

A shit hole, literally, were they chuck all of shit from the rest of Scotland. The place is like a RAB C NESBIT sketch on Acid.

It rained for 3 months solid, all the locals were either on drugs, stone cold drunk all of the time, or banging on about how us English were on 'their land'.

And it has to be said, it must be home, possibly only in a fierce competition with Newcastle, to the ugliest bastards on the planet, even the Mongolians look attractive to the shit up there.

They use to go through bottles of Buckfast, (**** fast as the locals call it) and Iron Bru like the ****ing world was about to end. Possibly to of the worst drinks ever.
