Right ... yesterday's humiliation of our national 'team' reminded me of a wacky idea I had way back in my 'punk and proud' days ... and at this wacky time in the morning, merry as I am, enjoying some lovely home made currant wine, ( **** the sleep pattern, Ah'm daein a ceilidh at Murrayfield efter the egg-chasin game tomorrow, and need tae be awake tae keep me driver awake so we get hame alive on the wye hame at wacky o'clock 24 hours fae noo! ) ... and very nice is this 10 months matured brew
But ... my auld wacky idea might be a crackin 'new fitba rule' which gies guys somethin worth playin for ... dignity!

Get booked? remove a sock.
Caught affside? .. remove a sock
... noo obviously ... if yer caught affside twice efter a bookin, then ... aff wi the shorts!
... concede a goal? Whole team removes a sock, or next garment up the chain .... the shirt should be the last garment to go ... after the underpants! ... Should a players shirt have to go, then he has to leave the field of play as if injured, while his upper body and arms are spray painted in the correct colour of the forfeited shirt. ..... one mair infringement? ... then the heid gets shaved ... and if the heid is already shaved?? ... only then is a boot required to be forfeited.... might as well tak baith aff really
Noo ... Ah ken fit yer thinkin . but ... dae ye nae think, had this rule been in place a few years back, we would hae fonder memories o' that McGhee led 9-zilch doin?
.... let me elaborate if it's really necessary.
... 11 naked, red spray painted, bare footed, wilie wagglin baldy cυnts tryin their hardest tae get a consolation goal tae leave the field o' play wi a modicum o' respect ... At least we wid be able tae laugh aboot it ... which, as things stand ... we canna ... but if ... just if ...
