All Rangers Fans Are Filthy Scum Who Disgrace The Perfect Name Of Scottish Football
Billy is on his travels this week but if I were Rangers fan I’d be speechless after their performance on Sunday too. Anyway, in recognition of their ongoing UEFA cup run, here is a classic article Billy wrote last year about the day he went to Manchester.

The Yellow Cowdenbeath
The Scottish press have reported that the national team are to play in a ‘glamour friendly’ against Brazil at the end of March.

This past week saw Dundee FC file a financial plan to allow them to escape administration at the end of the season – saving the club from extinction.

“Bullet packages sent to Celtic boss,” reported the Sporting Life over the weekend. Last week a package addressed to Neil Lennon and Celtic player Niall McGinn was intercepted in Northern Ireland and turned over to the police, who are now investigating. On Saturday, congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Tucson, Arizona by an apparently deranged […]

Ten Teams Tall And True
One side effect of the December snow in Scotland, aside from Mrs Williamson and myself not getting to see our beloved Rangers on my Xmas trip home, was the postponement of the SPL brain trust’s gathering to discuss league reconstruction (again). That meeting was finally held earlier this week, though decisions are still a few […]

Best of 2010: For The Love Of The Game
My friend Greg, a Scotland and Killie fan, died on Saturday morning. He was only a few years older than me, but a couple of weeks ago he had a terrible accident which caused irreversible brain damage. His life support machine was switched off late last week and he passed away a few hours before […]
