Scotland

For once, not Brazil's fault but a genuinely funny moment on his and Mike Parry's breakfast show - the day after a 1-1 draw between Scotland and the Faroe Islands...

Alan Brazil: "We have Jim on the line who wants to discuss the Faroe Islands/Scotland game."

Jim: "Thanks...er yeah. Just want to say it's an absolute disgrace. I mean, we're playing probably the weakest side in world football and we can't do better than a draw."

Brazil: "It was a poor result?"

Jim: "Poor result! Poor result! It's absolutely scandalous. The manager has lost the plot completely, he's got to go. I know we've never set the world alight over the years on the international stage but I can't remember things being this bad. It's the end for us. The absolute end. I can't see us ever recovering from a setback like this. We're a complete laughing stock."

Parry: "Look, Jim, I know it seems bad now but there's still a long way to go. I can't see you qualifying for Euro 2004 but hopefully things will improve."

Jim: "I never expected for a moment we would qualify. I don't mind that so much. We're not good enough. But listen, to not qualify is one thing, but to fail to beat a team like Scotland is a different matter. It's a bitter blow for everyone here on the islands."
