Scottish F.A. Cup

The scottish F.A cup is one of the most prestigious titles for football in th world.It is a branch of the football association's main cup,but itis made only for the clubs in scottland. This cup has been set up for the scottish who are undergoing a time of reform and indipendance from Britain. The cup is not very well known around the world but it is as impotant in the uk as the fa cup is. It has a deep history in scottland and many scott's regard it as a symbol of indipendance as the Americans see their flag as a symbol of freedom from the English empire,but not as a symbol of separation.

The Scottish League Cup is meaningless; we've all known that for years, it has no European place, it's played at a time of the season when clubs are still trying to find their feet and all of the major clubs field their reserve team.

It's become the one point where the small guy can ...  Read the complete review

After Saturdays results (Rangers 0 - Dundee United 2) I think fuel was added to the fire I created by saying United will win the Scottish cup. A great performance from Alex Smiths boys proved they can go away from home to Glasgow and win. All be it the Semi is suppose to be at a nutral venue at Hampden it may as well be at Parkhead. Only 12000 of the Tangerine army will be allowed to attend Hampden on Easter Sunday leaving 40000 for the home side oopps I mean Celtic. The SFA are just scarred that there show peace final ain't going to involve the auld firm so have to give Celtic as much advantage as possable. I am sure Alex Smith, who seems to enjoy wining away in ...  Read the complete review
