Hello from Glasgow!

[Bruno]

As it is, the closest I'm gonna get to the match is listening to it on BBC Radio Scotland via the internet, kick off 19.30 hrs, as my local pub will be showing the England v Croatia game!

Even so, I'll be sat in my armchair, kilt on, dram in hand.

I do hope you wear a 5 yarder for this I find a 8 yarder uncomfortable for long seated sessions indoors. Although for show I prefer the 8 yarder it does have its draw backs when seated for a long period.

I personally wont bother with either match both teams are not in it to win it. As far as I can tell they both just want to get a few levels higher up the ladder to feel they tried before going out.

You defeatist!

Sure, the chances of Scotland qualifying for the World Cup, let alone winning it, are small. However, I'd still like us to get there and be drawn in the same group as, say, Brazil (as usual) or, preferably, England.

Sometimes it's the occasion that counts as much as the hoped for success. If I didn't get involved in things just because I thought I, or those I'm supporting, wouldn't win, well, life'd be pretty restrictive and dull, I feel.

That's why, for example, I support my youngest son in playing his rugby, though his team haven't even scored a try for three seasons! But, the lads love the chance to get together, even if they're slow, overweight or just not the brightest bulb in the box. It keeps them fit and part of their peers' world, otherwise many of them would be isolated.

So, sure enough, it's kilt on time tomorrow for me and, hopefully, the visitor to our islands who started the thread!

I would much rather come and support a team such as the one that your son plays for. I am afraid that all this hyped up razz-ma-tazz of watching over paid prima donnas in some jingoistic pantomime does nothing for me whatsoever. Still, each to their own and yes, there will be a huge number of kilts out and about for our visitor to enjoy.

BTW, my dig at you was tongue in cheek.


Jock

Aye, my son's enthusiasm goes beyond the need to win. As for the footy, well, kilts or not, it's gonna be a long game!
