Palestine savour historic night in Bilbao

They didn’t win – they were a goal down within four minutes and lost 3-0 against the Basque national team – but they competed, and it wasn’t about that.

seriously that was one wierd night oot - there's a sort of fatalism to being scottish, you know its going go pear shape sooner or later - the'yed equilised twice, and they were bound to equalise a 3rd time, we'ed done well definately another round (of beers obviously) then, it was difficult to work out what was happening, we'd chipped the goalie from the half way line or something, there was a sort of strange milliesecond of silience as we all went - 'eh?' or 'what the f***'

jeez - still struggling with the concept of it all
