Changing room chat: Schools final fan makes basic error

In the Scottish Schools Under-18 Cup final, a restart by George Watson’s College went straight into touch, immediately conceding the initiative to Edinburgh Academy.

“That’s a schoolboy error!” bellowed one frustrated George Watson’s supporter.

The poor chap was then offered reassurance that his analysis was absolutely spot-on.
