[Closed] England v Scotland. Anyone bothering?

I'm going to give it a go.

I can't help myself.

Looking forward to it hoping for a win for my team 🙂

They were predicting a bit of crowd aggro so it may be worth tuning in!

Used to be a top capper in the England members club... Went all over and made a lot of friends. I then found mountain biking, a decent woman and had a nipper. Something had to go and a 3 week road trip to Euro 2012 in the Ukraine was my last outing. My Facebook newsfeed has been full of pictures/status's from Glasgow since around 5.30am this morning and I must say this is the only game thats really really made me miss it.

Away win hopefully.

Can't see the aggro going of myself.
I really hope woy takes it seriously and doesn't make 17 changes at half time!

National Anthem going down well 🙂

I think its jolly good of thd FA go give the scotch a taste of World Cup football seeing as though they haven't had any since the last century 🙂

I usually can't be bothered with most football matches, but this one I will be watching.

Why, are they helping organise a match with a world-class side?

I already want to punch the telly due to chiles just being shit!

I bought Sky Sports for a month to watch the rugby. An added bonus is being able to avoid Chiles & Co, and watch the game on SS1.

This is madness, we don't seem to be using hte tried and tested 4-6-0 formation

It's been good so far - both teams making chances and just enough edge without turning into a shin kicking contest.

Arsenal 1 - Scotland 0.

Ox aye the noo!

I hope they both loose!

Has it gone a bit quiet at the match?

Having quality father/son/crisps time watching the game, like I used to do with my dad.

I'll send him to bed at half time so I can crack open the beers and start shrieking obscenities at the TV

God Save The Queen well respected by the tartan army I see. Classy.

I hope they both loose!

Lose, my dear fellow, lose.

What? Shirley you have to let him watch the whole thing.

Hearing the swearing will be character building.

since when has townsend been scottish?? he's weeing all over the place.

Nice goal by Rooney! should have gone to specsavers 🙂

Really enjoyng the match so far. I've seen a lot of Eng v Jocks and know what it means. Great goal from the Gooners but it's going to be a BIG 2nd half.

C'mon England!!!!!

i've been looking forward to this today.. its better together ..now if wellbeck can only score and that will it an arsenal win for sure

Being a taff I,m not bothered who wins,enjoying the game so far though,great goal too.

This is exactly the sot of match I used to excel in, albeit at a lower level ! (Okay much lower level!)

Reckon the Sweaties will pull one back but 3-1 in the end.

Is Hadrian's Wall really necessary ITV ?!?!

Swim or second half - hmmm.

ben nevis to climb now 🙂 looks like early baths now

Scotland shooting themselves in the foot here.

Scotland have been doing well lately but giving us less of a game than a few eastern yurrupean of late.

Is that down to motivation I wonder?

Great to see the England support ringing out!

This fizzled out after the second goal. Not a patch on Fridays game.

Edit: heh.

Wot a goal! Less the finish, and more the build up.

Hope you put a bet on.

All four have been pretty good to be fair. Even Rooney's first wasn't easy.

Rockape - numbers for Saturday please!!

(Quite good fun for Wendy. Worth giving up the swim.)

Sadly not Jamie!

you're even worse than we are
you're even worse than we are

which must be depressing

Mixed feelings about this tonight. English Dad and Scottish Mum. And the majority of my family live in Scotland. Happy either way.

Great goal, but ffs the commentators. Lallana just pulled it back and hoped someone was there? Watch again, he looks twice before getting to the ball, and knows exactly where shrek was going to be.

Brilliant

Assume that was Sky? You don't get nonsene like that on ITV.

There was a time when there was trepidation at playing England.

Not this time. We've scored and everything.

No, that was sky.

What??? Are you 15? That was the most one sided game between the auld enemies I've ever seen in 40 years!.

There was a time when there was trepidation at watching England. Not this time. We've scored three and everything.

Can we play every week?

Enjoyable game! Wilshere and Milner were the difference for me.

You don't get nonsene like thay on Sky.

No Townsend said it was a great pass by lallana on a plate for Rooney.
Quite enjoyed that, maybe the passion for England is building again. We'll see...

And for once I'd give Rooney at least 9/10. Well done Wayne!

Once again we seem to be playing very well against mediocre opposition....

We're a nation 1/10th the size of england, which means proportionally we just beat you 10-3 😉

I'd say the opposite, we've consistently failed to dominate against weaker opposition. And it's been the undefinable lack of passion, whatever that really means, that has been highlighted. You can't help but get your dander up for a derby game like this though, and we played with pace and intensity.

but you're ten times the men we are... so 3-1 again

A very enjoyable game - loads of passion from both sides and a crowd that sounded like a proper footie crowd for once.

Not sure about the ITV commentary though - they shouted out Rooney's name as OX put the ball in the net 🙂

Notify me when there a national Celtic side and I'll start bothering! 😆

Oh no you don't. You wanted a geographic share of the oil, you can take the geographic share of the goals.

Trust me, in Scotland football is not a national asset :Drce

There is, Scotland beat them on friday night! 😀

Decent to see an International played like that
Poor result but we are tiny and shit in comparison- only two premier league players in the team for example....remember when we had world class players ..Hansen, Souness, Daglish etc where are they now?

Bantering aside, I reckon reintroducing regular home nations "Friendlies" would be great in the long run for everyone. Same time next year?

Enjoyed the game, thought it was actually a lot more balanced than some are suggesting. 3-1 flattered England a little - 2-1 would have been fair enough.

England look good, incisive on the attack and pressed well in defense. Definitely deserved the win.

We look a bit flat compared to Friday night. Our goal was the best though!
