Sir Geoff Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Back in the 70's I was always gunning for Scotland ( yes I know England failed to qualify). However as their hatred for England has manifested itself and become more vitriolic over the years , I personally couldn't give two hoots about them and hope they mess up big time 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillred Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 If you're Scottish I don't think in your wildest dreams with 5 minutes to go you would have predicted that result fair play to them I think the Norwegian coach dropped a clanger with all his subs at the end fair play to the Scots for not giving up.

Malago Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 England play them at Hampden in Sept to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 1st football international, which was held at the West of Scotland Cricket club in Glasgow.

Sorry sticks there not to my taste , I work up there a fair bit and as work goes they are a decent crack and the anti English thing is all a bit of a smokescreen , put when it comes to football I can’t stand them I hate this tartan army love in just a bunch of drunken dick heads , still give them stick about them celebrating beating us 0-0 ( in there eyes ) in the euros bit like Swindon winning the league in October 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 As a lads weekend we normally try and watch Ross County in the highlands once a season The people are really welcoming and last time had a good chat with Malky Mackay and Jack Baldwin ex gas who didn’t say much positive about Barton, so he was ok So since we’ve been doing this got a much softer spot for Scotland and can’t stand the Welsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugely underrated He is and is doing an excellent job with very limited resources regarding player numbers. Our expectations are very different to Englad’s, reaching the finals and getting out of the group is as far as it goes in reality. Tuesday night is big for us, Georgia have rained on our parade previously, but a win would put us in a strong position. Chickens are not being counted however Edited June 17, 2023 by ScottishRed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he last took Kilmarnock to Ibrox he was the victim of Sectarian abuse from sections of the Rangers fans. You can imagine that some players/managers don't want the extra heat that goes with Old Firm employment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am led to believe that Eddie Howe turned down Celtic two years ago for exactly that reason. Ange took the job as 2nd choice maybe 3rd. If I was in football management I would go nowhere near either of those clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland 0 - England 5, Scotland 0 - W Germany (then Euro champions) 5 then Scotland 1 - Brazil (World Champs) 1 who didn't break sweat.

Pound Lane Red Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 I quite enjoy the banter that Scotland not qualifying creates. The gift that keeps on giving, as Scotland get so close then fluff it at the last. I had not been so pleased to see Harry Kane score in a match after Leigh Griffiths had scored those quality free kicks against Joe Hart back in 2017. The ribbing would of been merciless.

luke_bristol Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Always been an odd bunch, can’t get enough of claiming “England always think they’ll win it” before every qualifying group or tournament because Ian Wright said something daft on itv or whatever, yet their own manager and players are always at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
