Dundee v Gretna.

There must be a good 12 or 13 people in Hampden.

Gretna are 1 up at half time.

Scottish football is a feckin' joke. Fact.

Scottish football is a feckin' joke. Fact.Could be worse, mate. In the Welsh Cup, we had Wrexham Vs the might of TNS (Total Network Solutions).

I paraphrase because I really don't know who were in the semis :dabs:

Is Gretna a very small team or something?

:wacko:

If a shite team, like Gretna, can get into the final, it must mean that the other teams aren't really up to much.

Gretna are in the Scottish Second Division (The third level of Scottish football). They are at best a part time team. Feck the main striker is actually a Doctor (medical) the rest of the team will also have proper day jobs.

They are now in the final of our premier cup competition, which puts how good the rest of the teams must be into perspective.

EDIT - manker said it better. Read his explanation.

But why are they considered shite if they got into the final. Surely they must have won lots of stuff to get there.

JPaul

Will they get into Europe?
Depends.

If they win it.

If they play Hearts in the Final and Hearts get second place (in SPL) then they do.

I don't know how it works out if Hibs reach the final and beat them. I think that's a no.

Shite in a global sense.

Scotlands top teams can't beat a team from their own third level, therefore Scotland's top teams can't be that good. Therefore Scottish football is a joke.

Think of it as buying a handbag from poundstretchers.

It's nice to see the BBC sports updater guy is enjoying himself today:


1544: What's this? No goal for more than 10 minutes. That stat is due in no small part to Villa goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen who gets a slight touch to deny Emmanuel Eboue after a slick Arsenal move.
1547: HALF-TIME On the cusp of the break Tottenham's Egyptian striker Mido slams a shot on to the Newcastle crossbar and the relative goal drought continues as the players turn for the tunnel in the five matches.



Usually they let the work experience guy update it...:dry:

Saha just set up van Nistelrooy for a tap-in for united to edge ahead after dominating the play for a good 15 minutes.

The two players embrace and go up to the untied fans, still embracing, to show to the fans their unity despite being rivals for the same striking slot.

Please bear in mind that I'm doing this and also watching the Hearts v Hibs game and also telling spd it's on BBC1 Scotland, when all of the evidence points to the contrary.

When watching egg chasing I favour Wigan as the team to follow. I have no idea why.

I never watch club Rugby Union, but do enjoy the international variety.

Carcinus

They've not managed to repeat their mega-success of the 60's but they're a good side. I've a fondness for them because some of my favorite players were Wigan lads. The likes of Sean Edwards and Martin Offiah for example.

They've made an excellent come-back this match and the score stands at 22 apiece.

Andy Farrell - Fantastic

Carcinus
04-02-2006, 02:37 PM
I saw him in his first international against the Aussies (I think) at Wembley. He played the second half of the under 18's match and scored, and then went on to play the first team match and scored again! He was brilliant. He looked a little like a pig at 18, but soon grew into his features.

Unlike Gary Connelly whose pretty face was gradually mashed up over his career.

And foot obviousement.

What, Farrell? Yes I think he was. I hope he does well in Union.
His debut was against NZ not Oz as I said earlier.

Shaun came down to us, and I was lucky enough to meet him several times in the clubhouse after the games. He's one of my all time favorite players ever since I saw him on an interview talking about his facial injury. "Yeh, I broke me eye socket, me cheekbone, me nose, and fractured me skull in this tackle, and didn't want to come off 'cause we needed to win, so I didn't let on I was hurt" Pauses reflectively then laughs, "I must be a bit of a nutter really"

Fantastic.

Carcinus

He's played a key role in the ardous game which is RL for over 13 years. We've put him out to grass in the gentler world of Union, where he can recuperate from the pasting his body has taken in RL for more than a decade.

Union. Where League players go to retire. Fact.

He was still the best league player by a mile when he decided to go to Saracens for a few quid more. He's only 30, I think.

Mind, I do agree that RL is a tougher game, so did all the Welsh and NZ players, who had to do extra training to get up to speed, that I saw go there all those years ago :)

Was that before they lifted the code-crossing restrictions and were having lots of "friendly" which code is better banter going on? I think I saw one in London with Bronco's versus 'Quins, before we played at the Stoop and were still at the Valley (Charlton's ground), and it was the same, the union players couldn't keep up. You really do need to be fitter and league IS a faster game.

Kinda breaks me heart that we've merged and I can't get used to calling us 'Quins RL', Especially with their Ghey little man logo. Ugh. I won't be buying the shirt.
