What Goes Around, Comes Around
October 9, 2006 · 1 Comment
Sometime back in the dark ages of 2002, when the National Team was run by Bungle from Rainbow, the Scotland football team had become a joke.
OK, it was actually a halfwit German by the name of Berti Vogts who was in charge, but never the less, things were grim.
Berti opened his account with a friendly against then World Champions France, in Paris.
We got hammered 5-0 that night, and I'll always remember the image below, of France's David Trezeguet letting our Gary Caldwell know what the score was.
Four and a half years on though, it just goes to show what goes around, comes around.
On Saturday, Scotland played France at Hampden Park in Glasgow in a Euro 2008 qualifier.
France, currently ranked number 2 in the world (as well as the runners up in this years World Cup) were massive favourites to win this match.
In a bizarre twist of fate, it turns out that Gary Caldwell scored the only goal of the match to give Scotland a 1-0 victory, and see them lead Group 2 in the build up to Euro 2008.
Oh, here's the goal ...

The video I'm linking to seems to have thrown a wobbly, so here's a few other versions:
