World Champions Again

Saturday:

Italy 1 - Lithuania 1

Wednesday:

Lithuania 1 - Scotland 2

So, if ( ( Lithuania == Italy ) && ( Scotland > Lithuania ) ), it is clearly the case, following the simplest of Aristotlean syllogisms, that Scotland > Italy.  Reigning world champions Italy, that is.  So Scotland are the world champions.  Fear the ineluctable force of my logic.  It is like 1967 all over again...

Oh, and Super Greenock Morton are currently top of the 2nd division with 13 points out of 15, and are yet to concede a goal in five league games.  God is in his heaven and all is well with the world.  At least until we travel to second-placed Cowdenbeath on Saturday.  On that note, I must roll out the best Cowdenbeath football song ever, performed to the tune of The Addams Family:

They're dirty and they're smelly
They come fae near Lochgelly
They huvnae got a telly
The Cowden family...

and not only do the Blue Brazil trail in our wake, but the Saints of Johnstone have bitten the dust also...to paraphrase the great Lloyd Bridges "I picked a hell of a week to decide to move to England"

Did you actually move already? Without a farewell drinking session? Honestly, the lengths some people will go to to avoid their creditors...

I was delighted with the defeat of the saints. Surely now nothing lies between us and being defeated in the final, being 14 points clear in the league at Christmas and securing a cosy third spot by April.

not gone yet - finish up at current job on 22nd September, and had planned to factor in a trip to Edinburgh prior to departure, BUT, for your horrendous comment, I am hiring a small van that tips backwards, so I can deposit 50 quid's worth of penny pieces on your front step (actually, that won't look as dramatic as I'd hoped, so I'll just phone you and then you can ruin my idyllic view of the world with your seditious behaviour yet again....

It's not seditious unless you are claiming to be my rightful sovereign.

Anyway, my leige, I'm merely piqued at your leaving like a secretive leaving thing. Are you back in Devonia again?
