Beautiful World*
Football is just a game. It is a very stupid game of 22 people kicking or catching or heading a round object on a green patch of land. Football is not a metaphor for life, living, society or community. Football is meaningless. Football is not important. Fooball is crass. Football is divisive. Football breeds racism, reaction and contempt for "others". Football is the playground of the super-rich. Football exploits working class people.
Football also makes me happy.
At 5 o'clock today, the Scotland football team will take to the field and I will cry. I will shout at the television screen. I will jump out of my seat frequently. Today, I am thinking there are no huns, fenians, blue Brazils, Arabs, Thistle, Ayrshire Killie, Dons, United, Meadow, Vics, Pollock, Arthurlie, Jambos, Hibbees, Rovers or any of that. There is just one thing today - WE ARE SCOTLAND! Come on ya fuckin beauties - get right intae them!
