Scotland v England discussion thread - November 18th at Celtic Park

England have an A team? was a cracker

 

I didn't think Costa Rica were playing in the Euro 2016 competition unless you meant that England won't qualify so will be playing Costa Rica in friendlies while Scotland are in France for the finals.

 

I'm not sure who I'm going to support tonight.

I've never been less bothered about an English national team than I am at the moment. * manager no passion from the players and guys not playing because they are too tired.

On the other hand Scotland are playing good stuff and I actually enjoy watching them. The passion Strachan has got them showing hasn't been there for a while and it's great to watch. They're a proper national team playing for the jersey.

Oh * it. C'mon Scotland!!

 

Glory hunter.

Scotland vs England: All Police Leave Cancelled in Glasgow Ahead of Clash at Celtic Park

I never usually pay attention to Adrian Durham but 'Scotland fans are deluded' is the most hilarious headline I think I've ever read. He lives in England, home of the most deluded international fans on the planet for the last 50 years.

And as England fans are changing and becoming more realistic, guys like him and his media cronies only serve to reinforce the stereotype that English football fans think their team is better than they are - laying into other teams constantly whether it's a bit of Scottish pride or how Costa Rica will be the whipping boys of their group only sets the England team up for a massive fall. It's the fans I feel sorry for.

 

There is so much bullshit in that article it should win an award. 'England's B team' what.

" England fans have no doubt whatsoever where the national team is at. They generally do well in qualifiers, but fail badly at tournaments "

Oh * off, I live in England and a lot of English fans think England are one of the best teams in the world, people generally think it's England * given right to qualify or make the quarter finals. Especially the media, you can tell this by the fact English fans can't take loosing they have to smash a pub up or anyone with a foreign accent.

 

It will be interesting to see how the england fans behave. They have lost interest as of late.

 

sitting with the posh folk tonight have fun.

 

Buzzing for this now, leaving work in about an hour and heading straight into Glasgow :icon_mrgreen:

 

Heading to pick up my tickets now, hope they don't ask too many questions cos of my accent :smiley-laughing002:

 

If we gub them tonight they'll lose even more interest.

 

It's not a case of losing interest, they still swamp places like Estonia where the away crowd is less barmy ..

Truth is, they woulda sold a lot more tickets if not for the pick up restrictions in place for Glasgow, which puts off a decent chunk of there away support(there casuals to be brutally honest) as it's the kinda game the face painters still are wary of attending..

By all accounts a lot have slipped the net so don't be surprised in the next few hours to hear possible problems with Scottish mobs, including Celtic..
Especially with huns showing off the spots..

 

If England are getting gubbed, just wait for trouble breaking out inside the stadium.

 

Gordon

Whittaker (reluctantly)
Martin
Hanley
Robertson then

Brown then bryson
Mulgrew then Morrison

Maloney then Russell on one side and bannan here
Naismith then Dorrans
Anya then maybe may

Martin

 

Don't know how true but heard the team is likely to be :

Gordon

Whittaker
Hanley
Martin
Robertson

Brown
Morrison

Anya
Naismith
Bannan

Martin

 

seemingly the England side according to Stan collymore On Twitter
https://mobile.twitter.com/StanCollymore

Forster/Clyne Smalling Cahill Shaw/Wilshere/Milner Ox/Downing/Rooney Welbeck.

 

Decent team, Morrison would provide legs in the middle with broony although harsh on Mulgrew after Friday..
Bannan provides balance and does a good job on the right..

My only worry is lack of pace, mobility and link up play up top that is missing without fletcher, if fletcher was playing i would be massively confident, with Martin i'm not so..

 

I take back my last statement, i fancy us v that..
