After Scotland drew at San Marino there was a call in to radio five.

We've got a depressed Jimmy on the line... "fair enough we've never been a top World power or won the world Cup but tonight we're were atrocious, it's all over for us as far as qualification is concerned"

Interviewer: it's not that bad, ok you never won but its not that bad.

Jimmy: we were crap. We don't expect much but tonight was the worst I've ever seen, we couldn't even beat Scotland!

Cut to uproar in studio.
