    We Scots are a famously modest lot, amateur. However, notwithstanding such national reticence, I'm sure a video of this wondeful goal will eventually find its way onto YouTube or even, who knows, the BBC website eventually.

    Rest assured I shall advise you personally when this happens ... watch this space! :cool2:

        Cheers, scotty - a true gent.

        I'm looking forward to watching David Goodwillie's goal - poor wee lad must've had a shocking time at school, eh?

          Spectacular skill, I agree scotty.

          An entertaining game all round I thought, tho the Motherwell goalie deserves a long rest after that first half barrage.

          Are players at that in Scotland paid the sort of money they are in the England Premiership? And are there as many overseas players in Scotland as in the England Premiership?

            No not quite as many, amateur, though the Scots used to moan (?) as much as the English about the dearth of home-grown players in some teams.

            There is very little money in Scottish football from TV rights which is a big problem in attracting even half-decent foreign players, so this could well have been the catalyst in getting back to developing national talent.

            Maybe a blessing in disguise though no doubt the English Premiership teams will inevitably be sniffing around again to see what bargains they can pick up.

            Still, that in itself will put some money back into the Scottish game so one has to be fair ... ?

              what we call class is actually status, and the UK is not riddled with class consciousness, but status consciousness - ask anyone who runs the company car pool about the import of little letters and badges on the beamers vauxhalls and fords .. we are riddled with status, its signalling, its possession, and its loss or gain ... executive lift anyone, lunch in the directors box ... no oiks needed eh ...

                  Enjoyed that clip Scotty.Especially nice to see ex Stockport player Jon Daly recovered and on the score sheet after his serious injury.

                    what a passionless game; a capable but average England outclassed Wales .... it being a murdoch fix i watched in a pub ... a very quiet pub ...

                      at least a glimmer of hope left, ER. but probably only a glimmer. Keep the faith in your club.

                        Just tried the link and got a message "Content not available outside the UK"!

                        So the Cornish nationalists have successfully broken away, have they? I missed all the excitement: were there many dead?

                              So, who's gor a big weekend coming up footy wise?
                              massive for the super Saints of course, could really do with a draw for posh tonight and a solid win for us tomorrow over MK, along with dropped points for Hudds. Don't want much do I?

                              i'm offf to SMS to see if we can pick up all 3 points without our child genius!!

                              anybody else taking in a game?

                                The days of me following Stockport County the length and breadth of the country are long gone, only do home games now.
                                I will be listening to full match commentary of our match at Wycombe Wanderers on local radio.
