This is our first meeting since '99. A pity as this is a great footballing rivalry. Lets hope we don't have to wait as long till we meet each other again.

Ordar

That's a shocker from Hart. He really has concentration issues

Wingnut

Should have saved that. England need to get going here.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Stockdale would have saved that. Also... GET IN!!!
@MattRhys63 - be warned, there will be a lot of nonsense

Wilshere looks very good, shame he's a gooner. Gerrard looks fairly poor, as does Rooney.

Wilshere's major problem (other than being made of glass) is he can't tackle.  Every single challenge he makes seems to be a straight leg lunge, and he gets away with most of them.

Cracking, old-fashioned football match. Highly entertaining. Usual result....And now, back to the 21st century.

I hope we see some more of these games because Scotland are about our level now in international football. We've fallen so far behind the top teams, we're barely competitive at world level or tournaments any more.

That is a poor statement to make, England played well tonight in a hard fought " Friendly"

I disagree.  He did well to get anything on it.  Commentators generally haven't a clue about the art of goalkeeping and too often just rely on the same old cliches.

It was a very entertaining match.  Well done to both sets of players !

My statement? Why is it a poor statement, it's true? It's not a dig at anyone or anything in particular, just acknowledgement that we've fallen a long long way behind the top teams. Technically nowhere near good enough to challenge seriously at tournaments.

Well we will have to see, I was surprised Rooney started tonight, not match fit, bit of politics there me thinks.

He look very weighty didn't he

As I had no interest in who won I actually enjoyed the game. Teams that both wanted to have a go.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

Although we never play that well at tournaments, we still usually qualify for them. The same can't be said for Scotland. Strachan has put a good side together though mainly built up of lower tier prem players and championship players. Winning in Croatia is pretty impressive but are they on our level? Probably not.

It's about time for our annual present from the Fulham of the North.
