So near yet so far.

Scotland did the usual this weekend but left us all, I think, with a different feeling from normal. Yes we never got to the Euro Championships next summer and yes it was glorious failure, but, it still felt like we've come a long way. It felt like the future World Cup campaign was something to look forward to. We now have a very young but very experienced squad of guys who all run their bollocks off for one another, always keep in mind the game plan set out, don't panic under extreme pressure and know what to do to win big games.

So, well done guys and here's to the World Cup 2010.

Come on Scotland!
