Re: International Soccer - General Discussion

Scottishbloke, your team did you proud and I thought they outplayed England at times. If only you could've held on to the end for what would've been a historic victory against the Auld Enemy. I wish they had won, they deserved toSmileThumb up

Re: International Soccer - General Discussion

The only show in town today just happened to be the battle of Britain, the 2 Auld enemy's fought it out and it ended in a draw. England took the lead with just 20 minutes remaining when Chamberlain fired in a shot from close range my heart literally sunk. It looked like curtains for my nation. Then in the 87th minute Griffiths scored a spectacular free kick to equalise, then in the 90th minute Hampden park went into absolute bedlam as he scored again to put us into the lead and it looked like the unthinkable had just happened. It was going to be our first win over England in Scotland since 1985 and 1999 when we defeated them at the old Wembley Stadium but not to be unfortunately as Kane struck in the 3rd minute of injury time Sad

Not to be but I think my neighbours knew exactly all about it as my roar on both goals Scotland scored must have been heard by anybody within a 5 mile radius Smile

Final Score From Hampden:
Scotland 2
England 2

Re: International Soccer - General Discussion

No not through gritted teeth, my friend. I actually hope you stuff England and you qualify. My Welsh mum and the Irish side of the family would disown me if I supported England and I would never do that. Big Grin
Yes I agree with you about the two sets of fans. Lets hope common sense prevails and the match passes off with out any nasty incidents.SmileThumb up

Re: International Soccer - General Discussion

Thank you Ralkin123, I bet you must have said that through gritted teeth assuming you are English ofcourse Blush This used to be an annual fixture but was cancelled by the Scottish and English FA due to the continuing off field activities. I do believe that the police will form a human chain around the ground, especially in light of some of the past high profile matches involving other teams at Hampden Park, most notably the disgraceful scenes that took place between the Hibs and Rangers fans at last years Scottish Cup Final when a mass pitch invasion took place between the 2 sets of supporters which ofcourse led to mass brawls taking place all over the pitch.

I think especially in light of recent terrorist activities that has taken place within the UK that both sets of supporters need to show an example and promote the togetherness even further. We need to show an example to the world watching that we keep the rivalry friendly and I urge those fans looking to go there simply just to cause trouble to think twice. Aswell as holding my breathe with regards as to how Scotland fares, I am also holding my breath as to the behaviour of the 2 sets of fans.

I hope Scotland beats England on Saturday and can qualify for the World Cup as well, ScottishblokeSmileThumb up

Re: International Soccer - General Discussion

The count down to kick off has begun. Scotland v England is almost here. First and foremost irrespective of the result I hope that no fighting takes place before or after the match. Tensions will be rife. As a Scotsman beating England is the ultimate scalp and also its a must win game for us if we are to stand any hope of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup Smile

I feel so sorry for them as overall they were the better team, especially in the 1st half as they dominated play and had the better chances of scoring. Well done to Celtic, but they got themselves out of jail and in my view were very lucky to win.

I thought Aberdeen really put up a good fight on Saturday and it truly was a real sickner for them to lose the game in the way they did. Celtic have got a habit of scoring late goals when it comes to the Scottish Cup. I know better than more people after they snatched victory away from the jaws of defeat when they came back being 1-0 behind to beat my Dundee United team 2-1 in 1985, 1988.

With regards to my Dundee United team. I am still very very down about what happened to us yesterday. Us supporters deserved better than the dog shit which the players served up for us but I think it was just a game too far for them. The players on the pitch were simply exhausted. We had already played 5 games to get to this stage. We should have been given a penalty in the 1st leg, instead Simon Murray gets a red card for apparently diving Angry We will ofcourse be favourites for the Title next season now that Hibs are out of the division but it will have to be earned. We can't afford to feel sorry for ourselves, we just have to go for it again.

Over the border and into England, another dramatic Play Off match came to its conclusion. Well done to Huddersfield Town who will play next season in the English Premier League after beating Reading 4-3 on penalties after normal time and extra time still nothing could separate the 2 teams. Its a cruel way to decide who gets promoted but it has to be brought to a conclusion somehow.
