Is the Baw Burst?: A Long Suffering Supporter''s Search for the Soul of Scottish Football

English

By (author): Iain Hyslop

In May 2009, the SFA commissioned a review of Scottish football. In December 2010, the second and final part of the review, penned by former first minister Henry McLeish, was unveiled. Iain Hyslop read this review, and felt that it omitted several key points, so he embarked on journey which would take him to 44 football matches, from Peterhead to Berwick and Dingwall to Dumfries, across a single season. His travels have led to the production of this book the unofficial review of Scottish Football. He covers everything from the weather to the pies, giving comments, criticism and suggestions for improvement as the voice from the terraces. The focus here is on the fans experience of a football match. Hyslop takes a step back from the political and financial issues which engulf Scottish Football to present his vision of the beautiful game as it should be.

He has followed Scotland and one of the Old Firm clubs since childhood and is a fully paid up member of the Scotland Travel Club. Born in Glasgow in the year the Old Enemy won the World Cup Iain grew up in the east end and served an apprenticeship in Govan Shipbuilders on the Clyde.

He lives in Prestwick with his long suffering wife Debbi (she hates football) and their two Tibetan Terriers.
