Not so Bonnie Scotland

Last week the Scots by way of a referendum decided not to sever the country's links with the UK. The outcome saw a rise in tensions in Glasgow which had voted yes for an independent Scotland in the referendum.

The scenes of street disturbances were reminiscent of similar type outbreaks in the North of Ireland, where over the years union flag waving protestors were a regular feature in news footage.

Soccer International: Ireland v Scotland at Dalymount Park Dublin. Ireland won the game 1-0 with a goal from Captain Noel Cantwell. Cantwell v the rest! But in this case the rest were too strong for Cantwell (right centre) to convert a corner kick into a goal.
