Vinnie Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 These things happen from time to time and will likely serve as kick up the ar$e to the English. Well played Scotland, always good to be able to brag about something!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Beer Baron Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 What an absolute diddy nation we are, jumping on the bandwagon of a victory over England in a sport that about 10 countries in the world play.

worldwiderab Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 When I saw the news about this I just thought it was funny and the reaction of some people in Scotland is hilarious considering most of them would not even know which end of a cricket racket to hold.

Much you know Vinnie, I think you will find the rods are those three sticks in the ground that you try to hit with the puck (glad I spelled that one right).

Big ****ing whoop, where's our medal? Imagine people being happy that there country beat the current ranked number 1 team in the world. Similar to when Andy Murray done well at tennis, people take a interest in success in Scottish sport, even when they don't follow fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teuchter Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Given that there are towns and villages up and down the country with cricket teams competing in leagues, it is a bit of a (weegie?) media myth that no one cares about cricket in Scotland. In fact was there not a Fife team won a British tournament in the 80s? I don’t see the problem with acknowledging a great achievement (which no amount of twats on Facebook changes).

Aye, Freuchie won the national village championship at Lords in 1985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
