Quick free-kick exposed us badly. Not a great start.

Hate the apathy around England these days. We are crap is that a reason to not support your own country anymore? 
I also hate the Scottish in a benevolent sort of way. That stems from having been to Hampden a couple of times in the late 80's for this game. It's like the international version of Palace away ...love it

I agree re the Apathy to England, I don’t understand either, Scotland are extremely poor in in a far worse state than England but I'll still go and watch them because that’s where I’m from.

I think the antipathy towards England is a product of years and years of the press telling us how amazing the premier league is and how the current crop of players were likely to lift whichever trophy. The general public have had enough of that and those of us not invested into the Sky version of modern football do not think the quality of player justifies the size of their remuneration. Shortof actually winning a competition I don't see how they will win hearts back.
*It should be noted that running away with a qualifying group counts for NOTHING.*
as I was saying !!!! best part of it was/is the disappointment on the faces of the jocks
Family wanted to watch it so I had the misfortune of sitting through that.
2 utterly dreadful sides, though quite representative of very weak English and Scottish Premier Leagues.

trouble with England is that think they are Far Far better than they really are
I was expecting a healthy debate on here. ****!
I enjoyed the encounter but it lacked leadership, vision and credibility.
The underdog showed honesty and bravery.
Hang on... my mistake - this isn't the general election thread

Ah, the Jim Baxter keepie-uppie myth. I remember this game not being televised live back then. It was only with the advent of YouTube that I got to see this for the first time. I was expecting something special but....really? In central midfield with nobody challenging Baxter treated the hordes from across the border to 3 touches before laying it off. Paul Gascoigne's goal years later it most definitely was not.

Unsurprising really.
Many of them have been told by all and sundry since the age of 7 years old that they are the elite, the cream of the crop, the best. They have cosseted lives where money has very little meaning, hardship for them is an extra training session. Sky has assured them that they play in the greatest league in the world. Image and ego is everything and self awareness is zero. Their "fans" are treated with a mix of suspicion and contempt.
There are exceptions.
We have good and very good players but the tactics are all wrong, too slow to attack and 2 DMs?!!
We need to start playing to our strengths which is our attacking players.
We don't have defenders, so let's attack.

It's eleven against eleven and anything can happen. That is why I would never bet on football but plenty on here do so on you go! I do always wonder how many posts can be explained by a losing punter?

We ain't Scotland though
Utter bottlejobs.

I'll be watching as I still am under the opinion we are an empire
When scottishland are able to field a competitive side, maybe more will show and interest(jcls)
Absolutely this, plus Livermore was unsurprisingly woeful.
The last 10 minutes was at least "exciting for the neutral" and the stands full of pasty, tracksuit wearing gingers doing w-ker signs when we scored our 2 goals were a delight to behold.
Beyond that though, two pub teams playing unnecessarily defensive formations to the boredom and frustration of all.

Loved that yesterday, it was like the jocks had lost at the end. Massive credit to their fans though, huge noise at Hamden
Kane scores seven goals in his last two league games and is one goal off having a goal a game in the league this year, so let's isolate him.
To be fair to Southgate he he the first manager to nullify Kane this season.
I would go - fully fit

Open yes, but at least it would be entertaining
