NATIONALISM IN SCOTTISH
SOCCER HAS BEEN CARRIED MUCH TOO FAR
Ambition of every English-born footballer, apart from getting Cup-winners' and League champions' medals, is, I suppose, to play for England at Wembley.
By the same token you would assume that the Soccer man of Scottish birth would have a similar approach to representing his country at Hampden.
Is that how it works? Well, certainly not with many of them, Needless to say they belong to that almost-despised category of "Anglos," the chaps who never seem to do anything right when things don't go Scotland's way and never do any thing as it should be done even if a result favours the wearers of the dark blue shirt.

To the not-so-far-sighted RL. folk I say this: Leave the game with Wembley by all means. Otherwise, you'll be finally admitting you don't think you have anything to sell, but don't ban TV and cut out the less fortunate of your regular patrons, you're asking for trouble.

Royal Jockey Bryan Marshall Has All

If Limerick-born Bryan Marshall, National Hunt jockey to the Queen, is still in one piece by the time next year's Grand National comes round, he will have completed. 21 years as a professional per- suader of steeplechasers.
And you can put that down as remarkable testimony to the crash-resisting qualities of the human frame and the technical advances made in orthopaedic surgery. Bruised boxers? Fractured footballers? Mashed-up motor-cyclists? These sports men would appear to be safety-first campaigners compared with "over the sticks" jockeys.
