Scottish v English football

Does that make Dundee the British Champions now ?

Only until September 18th? :rolleyes:

Seems like the way Aussie bands treated tours to NZ early in their careers - a chance to get organised/learn the patterns, but no matter if they screwed up! :whistle:

I know a couple of the MUFC management are keen golfers too, so Dundee (Carnoustie/St Andrews) and Edinburgh (Muirfield, Rennaisance, Archerfield) would be convenient venues - even at their jet in/out levels!

Does it matter if its a pre season or not Man City had millions of pounds of talent (say that loosely ) and Dundee have just been promoted so a great win for Dundee and a confidence booster for the season a head.

Of course it matters - the Man City players havent played for a good couple of months and its being used purely as a fitness exercise. Pre season games this early shouldnt be used as false promises.

Dundee haven't played either for a good while, not a false don but a major confidence boost after being promoted .

Havent Dundee been back to pre season training for a good couple of weeks as opposed to days for Man City - its a fitness kickabout at the end of the day.

Its meaningless if its a friendly

And so the result of the Scotland v England friendly on 18th November will be meaningless and neither side or set of supporters will make anything of it - yeh right. C'mon Chesney - let's show the English how a team plays football (said with fingers crossed).

Of course there will be no shame for England getting humped since by then Scotland will have beaten Germany in the Euro 2016 qualifier will therefore be World Champs :)
 
Dundee made 10 subs at various times and MUFC replaced 9 for the 2nd half.

Seems like a 'bounce' game to me - certainly a 'non-qualifier'!

yes its a friendly hence "meaningless"

Please don't be disingenuous as you know fine well that it is not meaningless in the minds of supporters and the teams and managers 😀

If you want to celebrate a friendly then away you go but when it will only mean something worthwhile on the pitch when it is for competitive reasons like the Euro Playoff when England beat Scotland.

It's a friendly to create interest , money , rivalry and to give players international experience before Euro qualifiers start. The result maybe used for bragging rights but that's it.
 
Seems to be a great deal of squirming going on here.

What if Man C won 10-0.
Loads of English footy fans would have been on here slating our diddy league.

I had better be careful as the play Hearts on Friday, mind you they are a second tier team now:)

And if City had won ten nil the response would have been the same - so what , it's a meaningless friendly purely used for fitness

It appears you are trying to suggest it's something else

It appears only you knew it was going on so no English fans would have been on here proclaiming anything

Are you really trying to justify the state of Scottish league football by using a friendly match result ?

If it was a competitive game when the result mattered then you can celebrate it

MCFC surely?

Kidd/Pellegrini and the Spanish Chief Exec were at Archerfield yesterday at the quite amazing Nike Oven...the only one of it's kind in the world.Rory was there last week opening it.The owner wasn't best pleased when I said I thought it looked like a fire station.A hasty retreat was beaten.
