Scotland Epistles - Issue No.3


RWM 71 not out.

Recommended Posts

Now that we are approaching the home straight in the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign here's something to help calm the nerves - the third in a short series of unofficial, non-profit making souvenirs relating to our national team. The magazine is available from ebay using the link below.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SCOTLAND-EPISTLES-BULLSHIT-THISTLES-3-TARTAN-ARMY-FANZINE-MAGAZINE-/381348031121?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

This issue includes a look at Scotland Managers since 1971, our relationship with England, comparisons with the forthcoming Rugby Union World Cup, Georgia 2007, the allocation of Scotland caps in the 1960s, pre-match pyrotechnics and world cup trading cards as well as a whole host of other Scotland-related tosh - which will appear amazing when you look back at it in 20 years time.....Paper and Print,Bloody Hell!

Again, thanks to everyone who has supported this project in the past and hopefully you will find issue 3 to be interesting as well as humorous.

Cheers for now.

Robert Marshall.

Delivery is incredible. As before, I ordered late one night and it arrived 36 hrs later.

Only read first 2 pages of 3rd one but always enjoyable. No rush for me though, as I tend to read it casually in stages.

I don't know the uptake but I'd guess not enough TA are buying it that really should give it a go.

Very good value and even if you just think it's "ok" it's worth a dip IMO.

No offence to Sunnylaw jag or the editors/writers - I'm not saying it's the greatest TA thing I've read but it's worth every penny. I'm only saying that to give an honest opinion which is positive enough for me to keep buying it and hopefully others will consider trying it out.

I think I said last year with Issue 1, I contacted the wife of a good friend of mine to recommend it as a Christmas stocking filler (so to speak) for my mate and it was much appreciated. Not sure if he got great stuffing that day but he enjoyed the Scotland Epistles.

Thanks guys really appreciate your comments, another four people bought off ebay today so we are continue to build our readership. It has been a hard year just working at selling and putting it together, as I have stated before none of us have any journalistic backgrounds or media connections so we will probably never have that incisive interview with a Scottish legend and I'm not sure if we'd know how to do it anyway. Mind you we'd probably end up going down the Jim White school of interviewing " Gordon Strachan, how come you're so good?"

As always we're looking for more writers to vary the type of thing that goes in the mag or indeed try your hand at a Facebook article.

Thanks as always.

I meant to post this before.

Thoroughly enjoyed the last one as usual and look forward to the next (hopefully!).

I've said it before and will happily say it again - if you haven't bought one give it a go.

Very good value and worth a pop.

Again, I'd also recommend this as a cracking wee stocking filler for 25th Dec (I can't bring myself to say the C word so early ! :lol: )

I bought all 3 recently, can't recommend it enough.

Sorry about the 'great item great ebayer' feedback, it's saved as a template on the app on my phone.

Wish I'd been a bit more descriptive.

Great read though.

Thanks guys very much appreciated. I hope to have a website up and running soon that will encompass all the Facebook stuff plus some extra things but will have the advantage of being able to navigate and search for things in the way Facebook can't.

As always sales are needed to help sustain our enthusiasm and marriages!

I have relisted all the mags on ebay as the listings have come to an end. I have tried to reduce costs slightly and details of this are now on the website as are the links to ebay. Please take a look.

Just a quick note to say we now have funding in place to go for issue 4 so thank you to everyone who has bought the previous issues.
