Gil Paterson - Fitba' crazy, fitba' daft

It pains me to have to kick off the post-recess period with an SNP motion but some people have to learn.....

S3M-02458 Gil Paterson (West of Scotland) (Scottish National Party):

Save Scotland's National Team— That the Parliament notes the recent comments by the General Secretary of UEFA who has given the starkest warning so far that a British football team performing at the Olympic Games would jeopardise Scotland’s independent football status, stating that “It is the quickest way for Scotland to disappear off of the international stage”, and calls on all members who wish to see Scotland continue to participate in international football to use their influence to defend Scotland’s footballing legacy and save Scotland’s national team status.


No further questions your honour.

Just out of interest, what qualifies this as crap chat?

I think the idea that Scotland may one day no longer have a national football team is preposterous.

A campaign to "save Scotland's national team status" is overegging the pudding in a very big way.

Maybe he couldn't put milk in it, so went for more eggs?

Don't agree that it is preposterous though...

"overegging the pudding" is one of those phrases that I never know if I'm using it at the right time.

"pushing the envelope" is another. Doesn't stop me tossing them around like the porverbial pancake of course.
