Binos or Jags

Hmm, what is the Q?

[Harry-Wragg]

Who do you think will win between Stirling Albion and Partick Thistle in the cup?

[Buenchico]

I know nothing about Scottish football (other than to stay out of Glasgow when an 'Old Firm' match is taking place!) but the names of the two teams should determine which side any neutral Scot ought to support.

'Albion' effectively declares that the club is 'British', whereas 'Thistle' labels that club as 'Scottish'. Surely any true Scot should always favour 'Scotland' over 'Britain'?

[Harry-Wragg]

Buenchico - thanks - and being a Jags supporter I also know nothing about football.

Unfair, Chris!

As you see, it appears the Albion bit was named after a brand of lorry.
