    Not worried about offending anyone but I wouldn't classify a trip over to Scotland as a foreign holiday.

    I didn't buy a tartan hat, I couldn't even find a fridge magnet for the clan 'Pendes'

    WTF!?!

    They wouldn't have a clan MedDog fridge magnet because they are for the Scotch and you are not Scotch <doh>
    You could have brought a wee tartan bunnet though. They wouldn't have stopped you at customs for having it<ok>

    Might be a better idea to scrap the Charity/Community Shield and play a charity game between the winner of the SPL and the Premier League, instead.
    That'd make something that nobody currently gives a **** about a bit interesting for a while, at least.

    In my opinion, the problem is more that - for Premier League and Championship clubs, who rarely play non-league sides in the FA Cup - it's too similar to that, and much less historically valuable.

    I'm thrilled to see us playing Crawley in the 4th round of the FA Cup :)

    This was tried in the past and failed. England offer a European spot for the winners, Scotland does not.

    Some clubs would not be eligble if we had same very basic eligibilty rules such as:

    do you pay players on time, and every time - that rules Hearts out
    do you pay taxes to Her Majesty's Government - that rules Rangers out
    do you provide audited accounts every year - that rules Rangers out again

    70's we had the texaco cup , 80 's Anglo Scottish cup, think it was teams that just missed out in Europe that played ,remember st mirren winning the Anglo Scottish cup beating Bristol city , also remember Burnley v Celtic , we had a wee bit of bother with the locals and the police , then there was Chesterfield 3 Rangers 0

    You forgot...do a significant minority of your fans support Irish terrorist organisations.

    Wonder who that rules out <whistle>

    I have read about that before BlueGas, and if it is true then everyone of them should be banned from Celtic Park.
