Migrate a domain. As the great philosopher Doris Day once said “Que sera sera”. OK I left scottishlass.co.uk as the last domain to move over to the VPS. I held off doing it sooner because I could see a few hits from people looking for the Runrig Loch Lomond link and had landed on this blog. If you can read this then you should be getting served by the American VPS host. Next step close the old hosting account…and make sure they cancel the recurring billing. The whole move’s gone amazingly smoothly so far, suspiciously so. Just a few cron jobs to set up for RSS gubbins.

The whole country will be chewing its fingernails. To recap, Scotland *have* to beat Italy at home at Hampden to qualify for Euro 2008. Don’t bother phoning anyone in Scotland between 5 and 7pm – the country will be at a standstill.
Good luck Scotland! After the draw was announced no one would have given us a prayer of still being in contention at this stage so many thanks to Walter Smith for turning the team around and current manager Alex Mcleish for keeping us in with a chance. Alex has handled the whole media side of this campaign brilliantly.

We have some of the best football fans in the world in the shape of the Tartan Army they’ve been exceptional. Let’s hope the team gives the fans the chance to follow them to the bigger Euro stage.

UPDATE Scotland 1 Italy 2. Alas not to be but by Christ we gave it a go

The report says “Rangers manager Paul Le Guen has left the club by mutual consent“. Aye right. Bet the air was blue.
