NFR: why do the Scottish fans look so surprised by today's performance?

[SP]

Did they not look at the team sheets?

[Slaphead in Qatar]

Scots played well. Unlucky not to score

[MartyFFC]

They do love a brave defeat up there

[Woolly Mammoth]

Nothing brave about it, all that nonsense is a myth, they got turned over by a Czeck team on their own patch.
England must show no mercy on Friday and put them back in their cot once and for all.

I thought so as well. Maybe it's that tiny bit lack of quality, but their keeper had a few brilliant saves. The Scotland keeper being caught half way up the pitch made no sense. Hard to win games like that.

[filham]

So , England should be looking for a good win against the Scots, no pressure Southgate but nothing less than 2-0 on Friday will be good enough.

[Somerset Fulham]

It's a derby in a possible do or die scenario for one side in a tournament.  Any win will be good enough, regardless of score or how it comes about.

[Lighthouse]

I always like the British teams to do well. Shame about today.

If Scotland become independent I shall care less about them.

[MartyFFC]

I certainly wouldn't put it past Scotland to get a draw against us, or maybe that should read for us to underperform spectacularly. However, there's always a bizarre and patronising narrative perpetuated when Scotland lose games. The BBC match report goes on about their 'blistering' start, and how they came 'roaring' back etc. They've just lost 2-0 at home to a team ranked 40th in the world; yet they're being patted on the head patronisingly for playing well

Gutted. As a Scot I should be used to it by now.  Marshall restored Scottish keepers reputations. WTF was he doing there. I gave up watching at half time. I had a golf T time (in the rain) and decided that would be more fun (or less frustrating) than watching the 2nd half.

Golf T time?? you might ask.   5 hour time difference over here.  I scored under 100 in case anyone is interested. :wine:

[sunburywhite]

As someone once asked me, where is the strangest place you have ever seen a football shirt

I said I once saw a Scottish shirt at the World Cup finals

[sunburywhite]

They hate us English and we hate them

Chippy g1nger dwarf nation

Haidrian should have built the wall a lot higher

Hey Jarv, no offence intended buddy, I loved these games I attended on the terracing at the old Wembley. Really wouldn't surprise me if England no show on Friday despite all the hype.

Well done on the round, I'll be going back to golf when I retire & breaking 100 is the first target.

[sunburywhite]

I cant wait for them to get independence and we then ban all Scottish MPs from Parliament especially Ian Blackford

[davew]

Perhaps Mel Gibson might turn out for them and lead the way.

It takes a lot of balls to play golf as badly as me Mr Jarv.

I also have a rubber club

They seem to be confident they'll get a result against England. 

[RaySmith]

I think it means a lot more to them than to us, so could be a battle.

I thought they were unlucky today.

[Woolly Mammoth]

They seem to be confident they'll get a result against England. 

They thought the same at the Battle of Floden in 1513 and again at the Battle of Culloden in 1745 and we gave them a bloody nose on both occasions leaving them scampering back into the highlands with a flee in their ear and their tails between their kilts.
We must do the same again on Friday 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
