Going to Scotland

[scotchedpommes]

But they have Dundee United.

Oh, indeed. Once feelings of awe subside, I would ask, does not every Scottish
or even Belgian town and village worthy of note have a semi-pro or pub team of
equal repute? As the mighty United travel that great distance to face Dundee FC
[both shining beacons of footballing mediocrity to us all] in the magnificent
spectacle that is the City of Discovery Cup, Aberdeen shall be heading into
Europe to play such heavyweights as Standard Liège and Brugge. [Club,
not Cercle.]


I'm at least glad Malks shares that typically sophisticated view of our countrymen
to the south. [As it is, it looks like I'm going to be dragged to the tourist trap that
is our capital by my resident foreigner at the weekend.]


And of course, don't listen to IA for one second.
