Calcutta Cup...up yer kilt England

Mar. 8th, 2008 | 06:25 pm

Speaking as one who really doesn't follow any other so-called football game...no American football, no Gaelic football and certainly no Rugby football...only  real football, eleven players, two goals with nets and one round ball...as I said speaking as a football pedant I was nevertheless thrilled to see the Scots wipe the floor with England and capture the Calcutta Cup even though they play with an inflated bag that even technically cannot be called a ball...despite the protests of Rugger loving acedemics who will argue til they are blue in the face that balls can be oval...BALLS ARE ROUND!!!

Still, never mind all of that...there have been precious few victories since The Mighty Bruce was in charge and we scudded them plenty to nil at Bannockburn so Scots wha hae an aw that...!
