It's not really anything to do with not having the right to talk Scottish football politics. You just shouldn't because you've obviously not got a ****ing clue what your talking about. Where did I say Scottish football was good? Of course our teams would get pumped every week in the EPL. :rofl Scotland's a part of Britian not England so how the **** are we poncing from you English?? I've been to some shite holes in England mate. I was driving through Middlesbrough not long ago. There's was queues of junkies waiting outside the chemists for their meth, and work shy tramps walking about everywhere. There's sponging junkie tramps all over the uk you stupid *******, and honest Scots have to subsidise their free prescriptions as well as the honest English
Shaw was world class...as an actor. Who could forget his performance in Jaws? Perhaps no Scottish heavies in boxing, but in the box office, they have him and Connery. Connery was a big dude in his day, and a decent athlete. Could have been one of Scotland's best at heavy if he gave it a go.
Robert Shaw was an excellent actor, and a damned good playwright and author. He got to fight Connery in two films. " From Russia With Love, and Robin & Marian. However Shaw was a Lancastrian ,not a Scots. He was a very erudite man, but held some extreme right wing views, [probably fit in well here]. Connery is the most well known Scotsman extant ,always championing the land of his birth,[ a land he has not lived in since he became rich.] Connery was a Mr Universe contestant, but not an athlete, unless you consider his pre -thespian career as a milkman qualifies?
Connery was a good footballer ( Soccer ). Copied and pasted: Connery was a keen [url]footballer[/url], having played for [url]Bonnyrigg Rose[/url] in his younger days. He was offered a trial with [url]East Fife[/url]. While on tour with South Pacific, Connery played in a football match against a local team that [url]Matt Busby[/url], manager of [url]Manchester United[/url], happened to be scouting. According to reports, Busby was impressed with his physical prowess and offered Connery a contract worth [url]£[/url]25 a week immediately after the game. Connery admits that he was tempted to accept, but he recalls, "I realised that a top-class footballer could be over the hill by the age of 30, and I was already 23. I decided to become an actor and it turned out to be one of my more intelligent moves
I didn't know that Connery played football ,but one should beware of stories about," he could have been" The celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay claimed he had trials for a Scottish first division club.Rod Stewart also has similar hype around him. Not to disparage Scottish soccer but after the top 5 or 6 clubs the standard drops off rather sharply, or so my Rangers supporter friend Andy says. I'm indifferent to the game myself ,I played Rugby and cricket for my school.
Bonnyrigg is 5 mins away from where i live. Bonnyrigg Rose isnt a proffesional football club. Connery may well have been a good footballer but even i've played against Bonyrrigg Rose
Stewart was rejected by both Arsenal and Celtic, was half way to being accepted by Brentford when the record deal came through, and rich as they may be no footballer is worth upwards of 200 million, especially after being made to pay off numerous ex partners. Just more football trivia, polluting a boxing thread.
Well well , and here was I led to believe that Edinburgh was the Aids capital of Britain. Now I'm sure that per capita Edinburgh has its usual amount of gay men, but the number of Aids, and hepatitis sufferers would suggest dirty needles, and you want to talk about junkies in England. Crack on.:hi:
Crack being the operative word? ps Any country that fries Mars Bars in a fish fryer is seriously Third World.
Edinburgh was once the Aids capital of Britian per head, in fact it was the Aids capital of Europe in the 80's. It's a tag thats not left since the 80's even though it's not been true for years. The Aids capital of Britian is now London by a ****ing mile. Brighton is the gay capital of Britian. England has it's drug ravaged **** holes just like Scotland. Manchester is the drugs death capital of the uk for example. I'ts not just proven on statistics either. I'm sure you've seen more than enough examples on Jeremy Kyle :yep Another interesting little fact for you Englanders. Scotland is the only country in Britian that earns as much as it spends. This was an English survey as well. So much for sponging Scots
