Actual phone call on Talk Sport on Tue, 10 Sep 2002 at 15:22:56
Presenter: 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.
Presenter: 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.
Presenter: Look Jim. I know it seems bad now but there is 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.
(Uproar and laughter in the studio)
