It was a simple enough plan. 12.00pm outside Central Station in Glasgow, as agreed by all parties. They eventually, one by one started to arrive. Shammy was first to turn up, bottle of Buckfast in hand and Celtic hoodie on to boot. Deaf rolled up next, looking overdressed for the occasion in a shiny new black suit. Said he had just been for another job interview, no great shock to the system there. Eventually Craig appeared, fresh off the train from Edinburgh and looking as comfortable on this side of the Country as a tampon at an orgy. Mackers was in severe danger of missing the trip. The contact number she had given was going straight to answer phone (it was quite hard to make out the numbers on the public toilet wall in truth). Fortunately she turned up just in time, and with Manky strapped to the roof rack and Scott in the boot they set off, with Shammy's 1999 Happy Hardcore CD belting out the "choons"

THAT WAS THE WEEK....2

ALLEZ LES ROUGES?

Were you there? What was it like? Were there audible gasps and wallets flapping to get hands on one? No-one? Anyone? I didn’t think so.
This week’s ‘launch’ (I use the term lightly) of the new England away strip seems to have passed many of us by. This is a surprise in itself considering the marketing fanfare that usually accompanies such things. No Beckham, Gerrard et al?
So when Kasabian’s singer Tom Meighan modeled the new design at a concert in front of two thousand Parisians, it was something of a damp squib. It was as welcome as seeing Archie Gemmill wearing Celtic’s new training kit at Rangers end of season awards party.
