How many of the "journalists" and "pundits" will be on the BBC gravy train to USA, Canada and Mexico especially given Scotland being drawn with Brazil.
Tom English will be top of the list a man who does nothing but put down Scottish football.
{Ed007's Note - Does BBC Scotland have the £ to send a full crew to the US? Maybe doing rough looking stuff live with fans etc using a phone camera or doing radio stuff but they won't get near the main gigs of punditry, what would be seen as a gravy train in Scotland is probably more like a crack den ride to the "star" BBC - and ITV are worse for splashing cash - employees/pundits heading over there. I don't imagine Tome English will be in the same hotel as Rio Ferdinand or even MON.}

No chance, the closest any BBC scotland employee will get to the world cup will be the Pacific. quay, with a dodgy cgi background of the statue of liberty lol. And quite rightly so. F. sending any of those Sevco based "pundits" half way around the world on the licence payer's money.

Well that's topped my list of things I couldn't care about this week.
