What is it with Naismith and his holding head routine to the ref?

Why do we ask...

We know it works

Incidentally, do I detect a common factor running through the opposition and location of Scotland's greatest football moments in history... ?

We are honestly sorry about the borders wars but the big screens failed after a day of heavy boozing.

Naw, but we did get half the Wembley Turf!!

You broke the cross-bar after another win a few years later - that was in colour.

There was also another great win by the Wembley Wizards. No known damage but that can't be proved as there wasn't even black and white in those days.

Scotland's finest hour was also in black and white, the following year. But I don't think they got a trophy for it.

Saltire on my shirt
Never get to qualify
It comes from wearing skirts
No need to book a trip
We're not going anywhere (and it hurts)

So many jokes, so many jeers
But all those oh so nears
Wear you down
Through the years

Scotland's staying home
They're staying home
It's coming &
Scotland's staying home

[repeat to fade]

We have Burns and you have Shakespeare,
both more adept at meter than yourself.

Tragically, unlike most of the major footballing nations in the world, England can only generally watch reruns of "their finest hour " in black and white!! Don't know why they bother.

Ironically ze Germans love to sing along to 3 lions.

Indeed they do:

football's coming home - german - YouTube

Fast forward to 3:40. Who says the krauts don't have a sense of humour.

Oh the ironing!!

[d000hg]

when England get humped in the last 16 on penalties by some upstart Johnny Furriner nation.

Isn't it normally Germany - hardly an 'upstart'?

However I'm happy to join with you on laughing at English football and the fans in particular.

Well I expect that, perenially lasting to the latter stages of these Tourneys, they get a bit tired of their own songs eventually.
Beyond the last 16 stage, that particular ditty is generally up for grabs as the only England fans still "in country" are usually banged up inside for getting pissed and violent on lager that is stronger than their standard tipple 4.1%.

I'm surprised Baddiel & Skinner don't re-release Three Lions every couple of years for the major tournaments, with a slight lyrics change. They'd make a killing from all the England numpties thinking "this time, surely".

"30 years of hurt..."
"32 years of hurt..."
"34 years of hurt..."
"36 years of hurt..."
...
"46 years of hurt..."

I thought that they DID??
