Sat with a certain Mr Levein a few tables away from a famous Russian Submariner who used to own us watching it unfold at Hampden park before a Cup Final win. Oh yes, momentous it most certainly was.

Not good, and a pattern developing. Not at all to my surprise, we miss Stones - even though he's a bombscare. He's the best we have at the back. Maguire's not helped himself one bit by going to a laughing stock of a club. Rose has never, ever been up to it. Keane is crap. Rice isn't ready; nor, on yesterday's evidence, is Mount. Kane's struggling - I really worry about him messing up the teamplay a la post-injury Shearer... and that's before I even mention the midfield, which is a total mess. England can succeed with an attacking approach when we have midfielders good enough to dominate games. But we don't, so we should be being more defensive, as in Russia. The alternative, I suppose, is to accept we'll have poor patches like this, as long as we're building towards something. What that something is is, at present, unclear. Are you arguing with yourself here, Shaun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn right we are. Oldest international rivalry in world football and all that. Ok we are as bad as they say we are, but as long as they think they’re much better than they actually are and as long as their fans carry on trashing every town they visit everyone - not just us - likes to have a bit of a laugh at England. Anyhow I thought England wanted out of Europe. They should be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other time I want Scotland to do well. England will still qualify, possibly get quite far in the tournament, and get knocked out as soon as we play anyone half decent. I can't say I'm too bothered, I'm more interested in Hearts. A bit of me thinks, though, that Scots taking pleasure from England losing against a team that is not Scotland is a little bit like H1b5 with Albert Kidd. Nothing like it thats a bit paranoia I reckon bud with you being English. I enjoy every rival teams defeat personally. Rangers? **** them. Celtic? **** them. Hibs? Lololololo **** them. England? **** them. And don’t get me started on the welsh. This particularly amused me too with our English friends...

However, if Scotland are playing against any foreign team, I and many other English people want Scotland to win. The hooligans are idiots, and there's no way to defend them. Scotland also have their share, as any English city that's hosted Celtic or Rangers will testify. That's not me meaning to deflect away from our problem though - no whataboutery from me. I’d suggest they’re not really Scottish. Either of them. They certainly don’t want to be that’s for sure. That’s my take anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 England's defeat confirms they will not be top seeds for the finals. Not sure exactly what that means with things like England and Scotland being in the same group but they have a tougher pathway to winning it.

Mikey1874 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just another reflection meant to say. Southgate said in September the qualifying games weren't challenging enough and something needed to be changed. So he achieved something. Papers today saying he will go back to the World Cup formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has TV money got to do with the Scottish national team? Even with more money we'd still be run by the same people. We're now habitual losers. Wales and Northern Ireland appear to at least be able to compete in qualifying tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks said no Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) An England fan has died in Sofia ahead of tonight's Euro 2020 qualifier against Bulgaria. The country's Interior Ministry said the 32-year-old had been found in a 'helpless condition' in the city centre. Police and an ambulance were called to the spot, close to Borisova Garden. The fan was taken to hospital for treatment but began to behave 'aggressively' towards staff. As a result of his 'threatening' behaviour, he was being taken from hospital to a local police station. It is understood that he died on the journey to the station. Edited October 14, 2019 by The Frenchman Returns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
