Bad Press at the World Cup

[auld argonian]

Boy...there's a shock!

Not that they arrested a Scot for misbehaving in or around a football match...just that they only got ONE.

Come on, guys...I've seen guys moon passersby at fishing derbies! (And this was on the Chicago River and he got an entire tour boat full of tourists.)

They're just making a big deal out of it because the guy had a kilt on.

The guy is a victim of anti-kilt discrimination and you are execrating him?

"Hey, Hans...let's bust that Scotsman...he might expose himself!"

...and it's the freakin' World Cup! What in the world do they expect? Organized cheers by neatly dressed, completely sober, well mannered fans?

Doesn't it seem unfair that the German police and the press seem to be picking on one of the relatively few Scots who are in Germany during the World Cup? I might have expected to read something like this if the tartan army were all there supporting a Scotland team. Are there no non-kilted fans of the participating teams whose misbehaviour might be more newsworthy?

Are you sure it was the World cup?

Sounds more like a Stock car race.

(Go Tony! Waltrip! Mears! and Jrs not bad either :rolleyes: )

By the way, any of you Canadians going (kilted) to the Canadian GP?
(Go Coultard! And SPEED!)
