According to Radio Scotland, Diego Maradonna has been appointed as coach of the Argentina national team, and his first game will be against Scotland.
Not sure the full details yet, I don't know if he is to boss the team or just be a coach along with the current boss.

I would imagine there would be a fair bit of International interest in the game now !

I would love to go to that game, but the fact I start a new job 2 days before I very much doubt I will get the time off required to get there for a midweek match

is he still the size of a bus or did the gastric band work?

There's nothing on BBCfootball. If it is true what a wierd appointment.

It's getting reported in various sources that it's going to happen.

I suddenly wish I decided to go now, just to be in the same stadium as the great man.

just to add, 2 mispellings of his name is not acceptable TJE.

It is now. I wish I was going!

nothing to do with the tickets going on open sale tomorrow
or am I being cynical

Wonder if it'll be a full house just to see a football coach?

A chance for us to take a scalp of Maradona, Has he got any coaching experience at all?

P.S. He has had the gastric band and is looking quite slender, remember seeing him on a tv show he had in Argentina where he started the show dancing

I wonder if Messi will be interested in playing now?

With all those ( granted unsubstantiated ) rumours about Burleys quaffing habits, I imagine the prospects for a post game party in the players lounge have suddenly increased.
