Good news for Jamie potentially not such good news for QPR

I can't see anything in here that indicates he has agreed to a Scots call up. He has dual nationality in football terms of course (the Scots link is tenuous as ever). Has he said yes? It just seems to me a rather gaping hole in this article not to ask him for his likely reaction to any call up!

All that said, I could see why he would like a go at international football and the Scots will be his best chance. But jesus - I couldn't play for them even if distantly eligible. And the embarrassment every time you play you get spanked by teams like the Faroe Islands. Rather him than me.

Good article. Shows how far we've come.

As previously mentioned we have a long slog of a season ahead & don't fancy Jamie having to take on more games & travelling. Guess that's what happens when you have decent players though.

Scotland. This is like Belgium to us?

[stanley75]

Ha Ha. Yes. But more like Monaco or Andorra methinks.

Wasn't he Austrian, or is it a Belgian pastime as well?

Definitely a Belgium thing as well

The cellar would usually only be used for holidays in Scotland. Or to hide from the busies.

To continue our cultural exchange I recommend the attached viewing of normal Scots people going about their business. If you have time it is worth a watch. This is the nice part of Scotland btw.

I cannot watch this in Nederland. But it looks like Rotterdam.

Aw - just noticed they have taken the programme down and left only clips. Which don't do them justice. And they have taken away the sub-title option as well. Never mind. When the later episodes are released by the court (it was banned due to crimes by the participants ) I will post them up for you.

mackie just named in the Scotland squad just on SSN!!

[stanley75]

I will have to break this sad news to my boys at some point. They had begun to idolise the lad as well so it won't be easy.

I see Lee Camp has now also found some obscure Northern Irish blood line in his ancestry that satisfies the FA. Possibly inspired by him having seen any chance he ever had with England evaporate with Loach getting the 3rd call up? FFS
