  1. Giggs is only slightly Welsh. All his football development was in Manchester. But the point is valid. Every top English side had at least two Scottish internationalists. The best had even more.

     

    In the old days the selectors plcked the eleven for the game and a reserve eleven. The reserves were mostly just as good as the first picks and there were stil plenty of good players left out. Now we're hard put to get a team plus subs, scouring the Register of Births to find Scottish grannies of Englishmen who can't make their own top forty.

     

    I don't know the answer to the problem. Abolish Rugby?

  2. I though that you could only grass on your mates. Total strangers are fair game.

     

    But what's this? You go abroad to support your national football team and what do you take with you? Some petty tribal totem.

     

    I usd to cheer happily for Crerand, McNeil, Johnstone, Lennox and even Jim Kennedy who would have been third favourite in a footrace with the goalpost and the corner flag. Boo them off the park the next week, though.
