Welcome from the Central Coast of California! Ask any question, make any observation….

Are you, so to speak, a double piper?

Just watched a TV piece on Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as "The English Game", a Netflix series on the beginnings of professional football in the UK. Seems the good teams were loaded with Scots! Spurs fan, here.

Welcome from MN. Spent some time in Scotland last year. Still Game is one of my favorite shows on Netflix. Watching season 8 right now. I recommend something better than Drum tobacco though lol.

I’m a fiddle player rather than a piper. They were indeed loaded with Scots, not so much anymore. Interesting time Spurs are having since Pochettino left. Manchester United fan here....

Coincidentally I was just reading in the Dundee Courier this morning about the auction a few years back to sell off the stuff from the old Charles Rattray shop in Perth

Ah, were you old enough to enjoy the gravy years of United? Must have been heady.

And the Spurs' times are a bit too interesting. Who knows what would've happened had Kane and Son been healthy. But then again, really great teams have backups.
