the end now please?

They're back.

Can we draw a line under this whole sordid fucking mess now please? What a complete and utter cock-up that was, as if the SFA weren't a big enough joke as it is. Anyway, I'm sick to the back teeth of talking about it and even more so from hearing about it, so let that be that. 

Can I just ask though, first of all, what you guys think? From outside of Scotland and from the point-of-view of non Rangers supporters. I'm really curious to know what you made of the whole situation.

Well, I think the SFA made a mountain out of a molehill. I think having them pay a hefty fine and being barred from Scotland call ups for a few matches would've been better than this whole "YOU'RE NEVER PLAYING FOR RANGERS OR SCOTLAND AGAIN!!!!!11" and then reneging on it when they're needed.

I did think they made alot out of very little to be honest. And my Glasgow-dwelling friend declared it to be 'political correctness gone mad': that where he lives, the two fingers is a standard greeting, and no Scotland supporter worth talking to could possibly have taken offence!!
(Im not convinced this is the general opinion, of course, but he was very upset about how they were treating his captain).
((btw will be posting your ficlet today and its shockingly bad, but I'm practicing, ok?))

They misrepresented Scotland. Smith was right to suspend them, and take away Ferguson's badge. As much as it hurts me and perhaps the team as a whole, I think they deserved it.

God. It still pisses me off, though.
