Six Nations Roundtable
April 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments
aka The Five Thingies of Journalism. We do have a round table in the house though seriously, so Al and I sat at it post Six Nations and had a chat as we lay cringing in the rubble of Scotland’s wooden spoon near miss.
What should be done?
RB:I think we need to look at a new [...]

Scotland team to face Italy
March 11th, 2008 · 4 Comments
I have a confession. During the St Etienne debacle in October last year, I may have offered up a silent prayer to the gods (Roman gods, naturally) that if they’d let Scotland win that one so our World Cup tour stayed on track, then the Italians could have the next Six Nations win in return. [...]

Scotland Win Calcutta Cup

In other news, pig seen taking off from Heathrow…
So the boys did it against all odds and most of the expectations. We drunk rather a lot of beer and ended up in a Chinese restaurant with menus in, well, Chinese. I think we ate Jellyfish. Al is so hungover that he has gone to France [...]

We’re Off To See The Wizard…
March 6th, 2008 · 3 Comments
Okay, so Andy Murray got beaten by a Russian. And Celtic got shunted out of Europe by some “Spaniards”. But we all know what the big Scottish sporting event is this week. It’s that time of year when we once again forget about sporting skill, sporting inevitability and sporting behaviour in the interest of putting [...]

Scotland Team announced to play England, hopefully whilst facing in the right direction

No Scott Murray, but Stroker deservedly keeps his place. Interesting choices in the centres too. The shape of the bench suggests Hadden’s not expecting a festival of running rugby and means several players drop right out, including all our specialist open-sides. Good to see Rory Lawson get a shout though.

Scotland Rugby Player doesn’t fail doping test, fills in form wrong
February 25th, 2008 · No Comments
News is just breaking that a Scotland Rugby Union player has failed a drugs test of some sort. As if things weren’t bad enough… anyway we’ll avoid unhealthy (and possibly actionable) speculation and bring you more news as we get it, so keep an eye out!
UPDATE: The BBC are reporting that a player has been [...]

Ireland 34-13 Scotland
Okay, so first things first. Scotland were pretty poor on Super Saturday. You all saw it, so there’s not much point in spending the rest of my afternoon telling you what you already know. Feel free to get it off your chest in the comments section below. Italy looked more like scoring tries [...]
