Hawk Eye the Noo

VAR what is it good for ?
Certainly the arguments are raging including a good going articulate and well informed debate on the PFF. I have the rare ability, like my hero, the late broadcaster Bob Crampsey, to turn any football discussion into a mention of cricket.

Mum`s gone to Iceland.

Maybe we all should! We could learn something. Steve Clarke is gradually reviving Scotland`s fortunes but it will be a while till we can emulate the success of Iceland.
Iceland has a population of 362,000,the same as Fife.

Saving Scottish Football

It was in 1424 that the Scottish Parliament, in the reign of King James 1, tried to ban "fut ball."
The fine was four pennies.

Recently on "Britain`s Most Historic Towns" Prof Alice Roberts showed off the oldest football in the world found at Stirling Castle. By the 17th century the game was popular across Scotland, and the Scottish Football Association was created in 1873. (So much for "Football`s Coming Home: Frank Skinner!)
