@GMB Interesting feature on whether kids should stay off school after the England game. Can't help but see the very different reporting approach to when you were discussing the Scottish Bank Holiday...
Imagine being Kenny McLean; you grow up desperate to play football, you graft your whole life for it but you’re never sure if you’re going to get to experience a World Cup like the one you watched your country play in as a 6 years old boy.
Then, at the age of 33, an injury to a teammate means you come off the bench early on in a qualification decider, you’re seconds away from winning it, you’ve got the ball at your feet with everyone just hoping to see out the last few delicate seconds and send Scotland there, you’re on the halfway line, the keeper is scrambling back and you think “You know what; bollocks to it!” and smash it towards goal, uncorking bedlam all around you, instantly creating one of the most iconic moments in Scottish football history and becoming a hero forever more.
It’s hard not to be romantic about the game.
@GraemeK73 Absolutely. And I can respect that the protestors have views and opinions. I would just rather that those views and opinions weren't used to intimidate people using medical services. They can have their views, but they should not be allowed so close to hospitals.
