    Florida Humiliation for Scotland in Jacksonville

    Thankfully I did not stay up to watch the USA versus Scotland International Friendly Soccer match held in Jacksonville, Florida at the weekend. Scotland were humiliated by 5 goals to one, what a disaster, I saw some of the highlights yesterday but what seemed more terrible than the result were the 5 or 6 pipers who played our national anthem ' Flower of Scotland ' before the kick off, they sounded terrible.
    Was anyone at the game or saw it live on telly? Were the pipers really that bad?

    We here in the States have a knack for hiring parade-focused bands rather than competitive-focused bands (two very different animals on this side of the pond) for far too many public performances, so I have no problem believing the pipers were bad. I followed the match on twitter instead of the telly, though, so I couldn't tell you one way or the other.

    And I'm sorry for your loss.
