And long may it remain buried

And with it the wistfull dreams of the purist!
Sigh!!

Well I suppose the Scots can have the luxury of being purists, their various teams not being able to compete in the real world. It all beomes academic, doesn't it?

Our "various teams" are comparing favourably with their English counterparts in most areas sg, not that you would know, being about as sporty as the average baguette. We don't feel any great need to 'corrupt' the principles of any particular field of endeavour to try and achieve success neither. It is what sets us above you I suppose. There, I've said it!

Your teams should try it (success) it's a lovely feeling. Perhaps then you wouldn't be soo bitter.

Very socialist, start by lowering people's expectations.

I am quite sure it is a lovely feeling to evade paying tax too, but it does not make it morally right. Anyway, my team enjoys plenty of success thank you, and we don't need to bore the @rse off everyone to do it neither.
Apparently England have no injury worries for next weekend. So no excuses then when Les Blues show you how to play properly?

I think most people's expectations were already fairly low when the news that a majority of the England Rugby squad were not only in possession of bus passes, but that the players identified as "key" to victory had, for the most part, the BMIs of Female American Gospel Singers!!

Because no one watches them

Eh? Playing to your strengths is now morally wrong? Whatever.

Scottish Rugby - so very successful

Well, I'll find out before you - you'll be weeding, or watching paint dry.

Well when you're mediocre and have no chance of winning anything, purity is a noble alternative goal. No doubt the Scottish players console themselves in the dressing room with that very thought after yet another defeat.
Though I grant you you seem to be having an extended spell of luck in the Euro Chavball qualifiers. Which will make it all the more painful when you're ignominously kicked out of the tournament again.
