A brave football fan

Walking in the centre of Glasgow shortly before Scotland's friendly football game with England, R. and I passed a brave fellow wearing an England shirt under a jacket. I hope that he had a good evening. Games with England can be friendly only inasmuch as say, games between Ohio State and Michigan State can be.

The match happened an hour's walk south of us, we watched on television. Scotland sang about the Battle of Bannockburn, inviting comment about how long ago it is since they last won, then played reasonably and occasionally took possession but England were very good at having control of the ball whenever it was in their half of the field.
