Then it will be a shock if England beat the unofficial world champions......hence the chance at glory for England.

Mind you 50 years later they will still be bleating on about the day they beat the unofficial world champions.:confused:

beacause the Lisbon Lions are never brought up when talking about winning in Europe..........

I can't see you beating Germany. No way no how. That said, I do think there's a chance you could beat England. I like the way Scotland are progressing and if England don't turn up mentally, a regular occurrence these days, it could be a good night to be Scottish

Wouldn't worry about England losing to Scotland in a friendly as its a meaningless game. Beating Gibraltar away much more important for Scotland than this match against England.

There is no "unofficial world champions"
 
Watched a Scottish game last night on what seemed a poor pitch and ground, and mediocre skill- reminded me of the pub team on a Sunday:( and is it my imagination but the park seems smaller in Scotland (I know its not it just looks it).

Then I watched the AST v WBA game tonight. Pitch looked great, ground looked good and apart from the over exuberant fans invading like they used to in the 80's it was another exciting game with drama, good skill and very passionate fans. End to end stuff.
Very enjoyable:whoo:
 
you get some right boring games in the epl, the championship isn't a very high standard either

socttish football is skint Celtic aside the average income from sponsors or tv etc is on par with english lower leagues, the egg chasers actually get more tv money that scottish football even though the football has more viewers

sadly this won't change anytime soon, Celtic at best are a decent Europa league team the rest of scotland would struggle against MK Dons

Good choice.....if you had watched the Bradford game I think the stats said the there were no shots on target from both of the teams over the 90 mins.
Hilarious that the dafty pundit seemed to blame that on the quality of the pitch.
 
It was quoted this week that the BBC's payment for coverage of the Scottish Leagues is less than what they are paying in an annual salary to a certain large eared fitba presenter.
Many folk will have a good laugh at this and say 'aye that is about right'.

If this is correct then once again it shows where the BBC priorities lie.

Ratings?
 
Perhaps they should pay way over the odds (and going market rate) for an inferior product just to keep the nationalist chip on the shoulder brigade happy?
