A one-link post to a not-particularly informative op-ed...?

Well, you're rich and white, so I don't see a problem with it.

Why would someone name their state after a sport? Dumb.

I will not yeeld To kisse the ground before young Mathowies feet, And to be baited with the Rabbles curse. Though quonsar wood be come to meepzorp, And thou oppos'd, being of no woman borne, Yet I will try the last. Before my body, I throw my warlike Shield: Lay on Metafilter, And damn'd be him, that first cries hold, enough!

Sorry, I should have been more clear..."Well, you're rich and white..." is a MST3K reference.

Wee, sleekit, cowrin', tim'rous beastie,

As for the Scottish soccer team, just imagine how good they'd be if they were sober.

Oh, this will go well.

The Fairies at Celtic Park? What the hell's going on over there? And what about the Jags? Eh? Nobody ever talks about the Jags! I'm complaining, I tell you! To the PROPER AUTHORITIES!

sgt.serenity writes "anyway , more news about scottish vegetable consumption."

They could improve that by reclassifying beer as a vegetable, I suppose, although obviously it's a better fit in the "cereals & grains" group.

At least the Sarge isn't just trying to advertise Edinburgh Escorts or something nefarious like that.

Hmmm...

If it's not Scottish, it's crap.

That can't be safe for anyone, monju, work or otherwise. Shame on you.

I think Scotland's hovering around #40 in the world in the FIFA rankings and others, so the state is kinda stinky. I wouldn't expect much anytime soon. The USA has a much brighter soccer future.

Is that a spot the ball competition?

Although the state of scottish football could be an interesting topic, it would take at least a few more informative links - can anyone provide them?

I'm not gonna bother with the links... I've come for the scrum.

I was scrolling down the front page and thought I read "The sluts of Scottish football" and paused to read this article, I was disappointed.

Nah, you were thinking about Newcastle.

and technically the proper term is "slags"

The only way this could be worse would be if it was about American basketball.

If you mean that lovely picture, you forgot the "ot".

This is a pretty poor excuse for a post.
