TA Sunshine Appeal Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Introduction Kevin Donnelly is a long term Scotland fan who over the last five decades has followed the team to four World Cups, two European Championships and numerous friendlies. He has written a book based on four Scotland away games in 1996-97. The book is called Chancers, Dancers and Romancers. It features two Scotland fans, Kenny Bradley and Gus McSween, as they follow Scotland to Vienna, Riga, Tallinn and Monte Carlo. This all sounds quite simple apart from the fact a nasty wee posh Scot called Atholl McClackit is looking to kill Kenny; his father-in-law wants Kenny to help with a jewel heist; and his real dad wants to introduce himself into Kennys life. Blending real life Tartan Army antics with a story that could happen to anyone if you think about it, "Chancers, Dancers and Romancers" is a rip-roaring trip around Europe involving drinking, sex, murder, crime and more drinking." Any passing resemblances to real people is probably deliberate. A word from the author:- After a few years since the publication of "One Team in Tallinn", I am happy to announce that I have written a sequel. The title of the new book is Chancers, Dancers and Romancers. The book is divided into two halves. If the first half seems familiar to anyone who read the first book, that will be because it IS that book. The second half takes all the main characters, plus a new one, on into 1997 and the game against Estonia in Monaco. All proceeds from the new version will be donated to the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal. As such, I did not want people buying the old version of "One Team in Tallinn" because the money would not be going to the Sunshine Appeal. The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal is the original and longest established charity funded by Scotland fans, the aim of which is to make a donation to identified childrens charities in every country in which the Scottish National Football Team plays matches. Since 2003, this has been achieved, and is ongoing, without interruption. I urge you to buy the book and support the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal. Purchasing Hard copies of the book cost £9.99 (inc p&p). All proceeds from the book will go to Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal funds. The book can be pre-ordered now on Moonfruit and soon on Amazon from the following sites:- Moonfruit - http://tinyurl.com/BuyFromMoonfruit You can order now on Moonfruit and despatch will be from 27 November. Amazon - Amazon link to be provided as soon as we have it. The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal will realise more funds if you purchase via Moonfruit - however - we would encourage purchases for non-UK delivery to be bought from Amazon. Ebook - The book is also available from Kindle for £3.24 at http://tinyurl.com/BuyFromKindle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi everyone - we're aware of intermittent issues when purchasing via a mobile device, with our new online shop. We've raised this issue and have been advised that to gain a 100% success rate, it would require a paid upgrade to the package - we are not prepared to waste money that our supporters have donated and have altered the page settings based on their advises. Thanks for your patience during the last couple of days ......... KEEP AN EYE ON A SEASONAL OFFER WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON? Hello, Thanks for your email In order to have mobile checkout you will need to upgrade your account to the Plus package, this will enable a 100% completion rate and your customers will not receive this issue. Or as you have noticed the 'Use Desktop view' which you can use as a workaround should you not wish to upgrade your account.
