they play football in scotland (imagine!)

Well, it's about time, isn't it? A celebration of the fact that, yes, we also have football in Scotland, brought to you by anitabuchan and colourreporter.

Just a few rules:

1. We appreciate that passions, and not infrequently tempers, run high, specifically in the SPL (*ahem* naming no names). Which is all well and good but please; keep it light and civil and hang on to your sense of humour. We don't want to have to intervene ;-). (What we will say right now is that this community has a ZERO tolerance policy for any form of sectarian/racist abuse and this will result in automatic bans where appropriate.)

2. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. If these are not in accordance with yours then feel free to argue the point, but name calling won't win you any allies.

3. We would love this community to be open to ALL aspects of football in Scotland (SPL, lower leagues and national team) AND to all aspects of football fandom (fic, player spams, team pimping, slashiness etc etc). However we appreciate that some people don't enjoy that kind of thing as much as others . . . SO, for the sake of keeping community membership as diverse as possible, PLEASE; use lj cuts wherever possible and if something is slashy then say so in the cut text. Okay? :-)

4. Tags are good. Player names, team names, "fic", "picspam" and so on. We'll try to do our bit to keep things neat and tidy but assistance is much appreciated.

5. If you want to make contact with either of your modly types then a question in comments is good. So too is a quick e-mail. We'll be with you as fast as possible. (colourreporter@uymail.com or anitabuchan@yahoo.co.uk)

Pimp Your Team!

Or player, if you prefer. Because Scottish football doesn't get that much attention from the media outside Scotland, some may not know much about it. So if you want to let everyone know why your team is so wonderful, why not pimp it? If you want a template, one can be found here. If you want to pimp your favourite player, that's cool as well. Just check that no one else has pimped your player/team already.
