I like this thread. And to be fair I do like the name of many Scottish teams. Wasn't there a famous match where the commenator said 'they will be dancing in the streets of East Fife tonight' not realising that this was not a place.


I have actually seen a scottish match as well, Celtic vs Forest in the UEFA cup in 83 (old school knockout competition, which was more interesting than most of the current European competions). I stood in the Jungle and did not utter a word all night, but apparently half smiled when Forest scored their two goals and when asked how long to go mouthed the answer.

Alan Medic said

Queens Park Rangers is similar. (to Queen of the South)


Nonsense, Alan. Queen of the South is like poetry. QPR is just the name of a district in London (Queen's Park).

Queen of the South is SOOOOOO much better than calling the team Dumfries United.


You must agree!

You were kinda close, the commentator said "they'll be dancing in the streets of Raith tonight" when Raith Rovers from Kirkcaldy beat Celtic in 1994 I think it was in the League Cup.


East Fife are from Methil which is just up the coast from Kirkcaldy, the 2 teams are fierce rivals!

Edinburgh City play in the East of Scotland League along with Civil Service Strollers, Edinburgh University, Herriott Watt Uni and Lothian Thistle that are all from Edinburgh! I think Leith Thistle play in East of Scotland too.


Perth used to be known as St Johns Toun or something like that years and years ago.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
