Muddled messages on Scotland leadership
an Article from the BBC on SJ 'new' old captain
"There was a story once about a guy who set himself a challenge of reading the most head-wreckingly complex novels ever written, one a week for 52 weeks.
He began with some James Joyce, then kicked on with a bit of Kafka, some Tolstoy and a couple of doses of Dostoyevsky.
By the time he had conquered this literary Everest all of his friends called him The Boffinator. His head had swollen to the size of a large melon.
He read Proust to his children at night. He took Sartre with him to the toilet. He went on holiday and read the complete works of Vladimir Nabokov by the swimming pool every day while simultaneously listening to the audio version of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
But he never tried to get his over-sized brain around Scott Johnson's team selection"
Is anyone out there brave enough to see if they can work it out?

That is a great article, and I agree 100%.
Scott Johnson is a complete moron. The sooner Cotter takes charge the better.

Good piece on Reporting Scotland by Rob Robertson (?). He stated clearly that Kelly Brown's treatment was an utter disgrace by all at the SRU. This was a man who Scotland (esp Glasgow and Borderers) could identify with and give our backing to. Will those helmet wenkers at the RBS now have to paint Kelly B back into their nauseating advert ? Hope it costs them a bleeding fortune !

If Johnson doesn't get sent packing when cotter arrives then that's it. The change campaign will kick into top gear. The man is destroying Scottish rugby. He is the 2nd matt Williams.

Best match day team thread ever risky.
No surprise FES your pressing preference for a Kiwi over an Aussie. It's just the way of the world, at least the Down Under part.

When SJ was apponited I posted my sympathy for Scotland. All the time he was in Wales he didn't make one coherent comment. He's the biggest freud in world rugby. Send him packing with a Glasgow kiss goodbye.

Fair dinkum there, offload. But of course you know that's a canary up a chimney talkin' to crows. You're blindsided by the girl at the cafe who is winking your way but has the hots for the girl behind you. You're overthinking the truckstop. The driver, he isn't goin' for a sandwich, he's just goin' for a p-iss. He isn't payin' for nothing - he's cheap.
I prefer my bums rootin' round in bins - at least you know their breakfast was beer, their dinner was beer, their supper was more beer. So you're not inclined to drop a penny in their box for a cuppa tea......................... are ya?

SJ did.... but only as an allusion for deeper things. Stop looking at the surface when SJ speaks. He's a mineshaft of useful tools in an abandoned gold field.

There are wobbly lines all over the roads now. It's all Secret's fault he should know that ASBO@S hand go all atremble at the thought of such matters Sapphic.
Calm down ASBO think of Nick De Luca at catching practice, and in the background McVisser is lying under a tackle bag. See better now, the paint isn't coming out in nasty spurts anymore is it?
