The Scottish football team that I support is the strangely named “Queen of the South”, as it is my parent’s local team. I have seen them play at Palmerston Park on a couple of occasions; neither time did the win. Today, however, they won an historic game. They beat Aberdeen 4-3 in the Scottish Cup Semi-Final. On May 24 they will play in their first ever Cup Final. Unfortunately, I do not think that any US TV channel carries Scottish Cup football, so I shall not get to see the game.
I have just heard an interview with the Manager and Chairman. I do not wish to say anything in this blog that might be considered libelous, but I suspect that the Chairman might have been partaking of a wee dram or two; though it may just have been the emotion of the occasion. If Rangers are the opponents then Queen of the South would play in Europe next year.
