Scotland - where on earth are we?

First topic message reminder :

The big debate for the last 10 years for most Scottish fans have been around a young promising team growing into a good squad and whether we have reach or even turned a corner

Every year we have a stand out result, Ireland away, South Africa, Australia home and away, and unbeaten summer tour, winning the series in Argentina and we feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. We have players arriving who could be the one that makes us click (Visser, Hogg, Gray, Jackson, Weir, de Luca)

But with each step forward there is often a quick jig backwards (Tonga, 6 nations whitewash, Parks returns, inability to catch a ball), so where is Scotland really in the great scheme of things

Are we still looking at a false dawn or have we actually reached a corner (or at least see it in the distance).

What would be the criteria of meeting this criteria and what would allow you to enjoy watching Scotland without having a haggis running in circles in your stomach

And who in your mind is really the cure, and not part of the disease

The way I view it, Scotland are in the latter stages of a metaphorical flu.

Whilst they're now functional, they're still working some of the virus out of their system. It's a switch from old to new that will take a while, as SJ pointed out at the beginning of the tournament what's important is that we're winning a bit now. If we can keep that consistency hopefully scotland won't regress back into a fever.

well normally flu's are gone within a week or so(all signs) so unless scotland can get over this quickly next winters flu is gonna hit them again before this one is solved..

No team is perfect.. all teams have a constant flu of sorts..We all need constant evolotion, understanding what is progress. not getting to high or to low over one performance.

Scotland are on the up.. even if they dont pick up another win in this 6n's..

but clinically depressed

france are clearly bi popular by some peoples reakonings.

england are sanity personified..

Ireland are pyschotic

Wales have the small man syndrome( )

italy are under evolved. still neandathals

sorry i thought i was on the wumming thread!

congratulations mystir...Ruby will be proud of you (assuming he's the shrink??...one of you 606 rugby crowd is, I seem to recall that it's Ruby)

Yeah I think ruby is the shrink..

Only on very cold days and in cold water...

This is very good news!

That said Stevie Scott?

Well I guess time will tell, to be fair we thought Townsend was going to f up Glasgow and look at where they are now!

Let's have some professional intervention here:



Scotland are on the up.. even if they dont pick up another win in this 6n's.. Translates into Delusions of Grandeur - Lithium Please

France are clearly bi popular by some peoples reakonings - NO. - Multiple Personality Disorder - No cure see Marsha Linehan for CBT Management

England are Cyclothymic with traits of delusionary grandeur - SSRI with CBT adjunct

Ireland : Significant and severe depression as a consequence of poor attachment from an early age and chaotic and inconsistent parenting - Long term psychotherapy alongside cognitive restructring - poor outcome likely

Wales - Bi-polar - All or nothing - Lithium and Lager

Italy - Low self-esteem - 10-12 sessions of NICE recomended CBT

Cool!!


Do you do CBT Ruby?

I do it all Mystir - I'm the boss and will assess and disseminate accordingly - Mostly medico-legal these days but have a new book out on amazon at £15.99 that sells worldwide - It has CBT in the title - I am not going to disclose any more than that

I had a couple of CBT sessions yonks ago. She made me angry, it didnt work

You write Scotland off and god help you, they thrive as underdogs, but when Scotland talk themselves up they normally fall flat on their face and don't handle the pressure well.

Scotland seem to want to put themselves out as favorites so lets see them back it up on the pitch

Cobblers Shifty my boy - you won't find a single Scotland fan that thinks we're favourites. On the other hand, we won't be bending over for 6 of the best as we have done in recent years. If you haven't noticed, the truly dead wood has fallen away.

Scotland - where on earth are we?

Just up a bit from Carlisle

i am surprised it took 4 pages of posts before someone stated the bleedin obvious

I thank you

*bows*

Well, you say that, but you'd be amazed! If we consider maritime boundaries, the Westminster govt believes that Scotland starts just north of Dundee, so actually, its quite a bit up from Carlisle!

It's all the same past Lancaster...

Feic you!

Nervous much

Are you trying to out touchy the Ulstermen?

I've checked my book of primates and I'm not sure on a biomolecular level that's even possible.

Simply not possible, you should know that!

Did you see the Scrumv classic earlier? Scotland v Wales 1971. Bill McLaren had to start somewhere as well I suppose

Oi! Cheeky! We are the kings of touchy! Come on no other club could have so many CRISIS moments!

I have stopped reading the 'impartial' BBC pre-match coverage.

There's only so many times you can read about how much your team is going to get stuffed by without yawning until you give yourself cramp.

Perhaps we shouldn't show up at all and send Howley a concession letter with a fruit basket and a stripper wearing a 'Warbuton For Lions Captain' thong.

I shouldn't worry...until Guscott says you'll win...

Glas - did you see that Barry John documentary last night - Strange and a little sad to say the least - he's living in a warden controlled home for the elderly

No I didn't. Sounds like a Greek tragedy.

You have managed to implant an image of Hattie Jaques bigger sister in a thong as described by you.It would require a hefty wench to get all that writing in situ!
