DUTCHING CLOTH? Nervy Night Ahead for Scots in Amsterdam…..

 

Senators Broonaldo, Deek, Malc, Gay Daz, Derek Wetter, Gav, Guinness, Hambleton Loch (I wish you were whisky) and Grantanamo Bay will all be heading to Amsterdam this Friday. Unlike the Scotland squad we’re all fit (within reason) and up for the challenge of 4 days of swally and tartan based buffoonery in the Venice of the North. As well as going to the match, over the weekend the Pirates will be celebrating Andy Day / Derek Wetter Day (see picture above) and Senator Innes’s birthday. The last word on the subject goes to Horace in his Epistles, I.xi.27: ‘Coelum non animum mutant qui trans mare currunt’ [‘They who hurry across the sea change their surroundings, not their souls’].

A full, but probably heavily edited, report on the shenanigans will appear on this website.

For the Iceland game on Wednesday we’ll be having a drink before the match
