And Goodness knows there would be no sectarianism at Ibrox, now would there? <banging my head on the desk>

Seumas, this is what I meant about a overall lack of awareness and understanding about some of Alba's issues, such as bigotry and sectarianism, here in the States. It is not unusual to attend a Scottish event here in the States and see folks wearing their Celtic and Rangers kit, for no absolutely other reason than to harmlessly support their favorite team. The Old Firm likely means nothing to them, 9 times out of 10. It's just a different place, here, ken?

So I'm sorry if I offended, but it was innocent. It apparently has a different connotation over here (for those few who have ever heard it).
Jamie, I am quite confident that you did not mean to offend anyone. Those colors and those words just have a lot of very deep-rooted emotions attached to them in Scotland. How could you have known?

Also, I kick with both feet. Right foot for distance, left foot for accuracy, but either foot when I'm in front of the goal.
Seumas, this is a perfect example of my hypothesis, eh? Perhaps I should have not mentioned kicking a ball, but used "with what foot do you dig a peat". Now THAT really is an auld yin!

Matt, get back in here and tell me what part of Indiana you hail from. We've got to do something to get this train back on the tracks. ;)
