Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Borussia Dortmund

I just didn't rise to your lawless jibe Mind you I live in a fairly remote village with it's fair share of shady ex Glasgow characters who you don't question too deeply. Rumour also has it that Burke and Hare had a hideout here. I'll say no more.

I used to get loads of wind and rain in Brighton too.

 

There was another wall I believe built in Scotland by the Romans.Haven't a clue if it's still there.Over the years farmers and others took a lot of Hadrian's Wall for their own purposes.

I don't have a problem with that song at England's rugger matches. It just doesn't go with blood and thunder of the game......

 

Too much information

 

I always wanted to live around Brighton.Never will now.My Yankee wife won't let me! But I envy those that do...….

 

The Antonine Wall near Glasgow which is a 100 miles north of the modern border. The Romans were in Scotland for some time, there are many Roman remains here. They just got fed up with the Highlanders coming down and kicking 7 bells out of them.
The didn't like it up 'em as Jonesy would say

 

I wonder if any Romans actually settled there. I can't recall a Jock Sparticus!!!!!!

 

We have some of the best Italian restaurants in Glasgow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Scots

 

Anyway Sparticus was not a Roman was he.

Notable Italian Scots

Lou Macari
Tom Conti
Peter Marinello
Dominic Matteo
Ricky Sbragia
Charles Forte
Ronni Ancona
Paul di Giacomo
Dario Franchitti
Lena Zavaroni

To name a few.

 

Marinello was a fekking Goon

 

And the most hyped up flop in football history

I said notable it's not a recommendation from me.

 

Yip, shame they didn't have another 10 like him.

 

Offiah was only really a League player. He played a little Union only at the end of his career. Union was amateur back then and he needed to make a living.

 

Armando Iannucci and Peter Capaldi are a couple more noted examples

 

Paulo Nutini

 

Nicola Bernadeti

 

See I wasa tellin yous thata Scotaland wasa fulla ofa the hagis pasta and the MacChianti.

 

Stevie Archibald, didn't have much Italian in him, but he's pretty Spanish now, and that's close. Yiddo!!!

 

So apparently Dortmund's loss was entirely down to several of the squad visiting a barber before the match

You can tell that Norbert used to coach them, can't you?

 

Probably an Italian barber called Hamish Macleod a

 

Fair play, I'm converted.

The first time I ever tried Haggis was on a Burns night. I fancied the Whisky, so I sat in on the meal. It was so fekking good that I hardly drank any whisky, and since I've taken haggis all over the world. Nowadays, I let the South Africans provide the whisky, the last haggis won me 2 litres of Johnny Walker Blue, can't be bad!
