Actually, I didn't. We are all generally to drunk to do more than fight the guy next to us. Marching a hundred miles or so to pick a fight seems like a waste of energy when we can do it all right here! Anyway, what is wrong with reclaiming Berwick?
You have sparked off a thought (damn you ); why is it that Scottish football fans are so keen to create mayhem and do each other in at home but when we go overseas we are the best behaved (if slightly 'boisterous') fans of the lot? The last Scotland vs. Holland match saw the Dutch police putting away their riot gear and welcoming fans without tickets. When is the last time you ever heard of that happening? And I won't even mention the English football fans....

A humble wiseman once said, "Those who learn by the inch and talk by the yard should be kicked by the foot."
Well we all know (or may not know) that joke from Billy Connelly:
There was them soldiers in the trench of the first world war, and they were gettng restless, they haven't faught for ages, at least half an hour or so. they were that bored, they started fighting with each other.
Then the shout came "Over the top and get right into them". So off they went with the officer saying there is a half bottle of whiskey on the other side.
So they went charging and the bagpipes started up. Machine gun fire and half of them taken down, and the bagpipes still played. Another burst of machine gun and four drop dead. And still the bagipie player carried on. More gunfire and another two drop down.
One of the soldiers stops and shouts to that bagpipe player "For christ sake, can't you play something they like?"
No wonder the dutch packed up thier gear, all someone had to say was there was a full bottle of whiskey behind the polis and they would have decimated Holland looking for it
