**Official** England v. Scotland match thread - ITV 8.00pm. 14/08/13

[Mellotron]

Why do we play these minnows in friendlies? What's to be learnt?

 

[Meade's Ball]

Good ball that. A shame overall though as i was looking forward to a terrible sense of panic and throwing on Lambert as soon as possible to revert to some foul hoofery.
Perhaps the Greer needs to come on to shore up their backline and make this an Albion-related night?

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Is it me, or does Hart look like he's trying to get out of the way of the ball for their goal It's not the first time I've thought this of him tbf...

 

[maltaseagull]

C'mon the MIGHTY Scots, they're in danger of winning this.

#flowerofscotland

Sorry grammar police report. You cannot use Mighty and Scots in the same sentence in a positive way.

If you talk about our bagpipe playing skills then yes.

I still believe, 1-3 Scotland full time? #tartanarmy

Palace friend of mine said England insultingly didn't celebrate their goal much. I think he's gonna have to get used to that this season.

 

[Mellotron]

To be fair playing a friendly against a minnow team that actually cares about the result is probably more beneficial than playing against a good one that doesn't.

Actually that is a good point.

It's similar to the Leeds/Man Utd "rivalry". All one way.

 

[Eksman]

Yawnfest

I take this back

 

[maltaseagull]

poor decision - Rooney goal was good! Should be 2-1

Definitely.

 

[BuddyBoy]

This IS the Scottish referendum.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Joe Hart, another English play to believe his own hype.

was dog turd last year

 

[Driver8]

This IS the Scottish referendum.

Hope we lose then.

 

[Puppet Master]

How does Cleverley make the team. He couldn't trap a bag of cement, no first touch, can't pass and can't shoot. Throwback to the Graham Taylor era.

Great assist for the goal, though.

They also booed the national anthem and the English fans did not do it when the scots did theirs......just ignorant in my opinion.

There was a bit of booing as F O S started up.

Really? well if there was it was NOTHING like the ignorant booing for the National Anthem!
