Despite being Scottish, Gordon Brown came out recently in to proclaim his support for England in the World Cup. However, he doesn't seem to want to help Scottish football! It's been reported that Semi-professional and junior league football clubs in Scotland are being attacked by HMRC for backdated payments of PAYE and National Insurance contributions to 2003.
