My Glasgow
Posted on: Sunday, October 8th, 2006 at 1:05 PMThe football win over France last night was incredible and will remain in my mind forever, just like when we beat Holland 1-0 back in Novemember 2003 ( My reasons for remembering that day are very personal and pointless to mention )
It was great to be out in Glasgow last night. Everyone was so happy and everyone felt proud to be a Scot. To experience this in Glasgow is very very rare. In fact I have never experienced it. It was as if the cancerous West of Scotland bigotry was cured.
Last night one could talk about football in any bar without fear of a moron asking ‘ Wit team dae ye support? ‘ I never saw any trouble either.
For once everyone was Scottish. Why cant it always be like this? Especially in Glasgow?

The downside is the raised expectations and the recriminations when we lose………..
I hope that’s not on the agenda tonight but past experience and too many years
following Partick Thistle has taught me to always be cautious of purple patches and
to always believe the worst of scumbag hacks like Alan Davidson, Hugh Keevins and Jim Traynor.
