The Scottish national squad is made up of youngsters who have been nurtured to appreciate the shirt they wear and not how much they are getting payed. I bet the people from south of Hadrians wall wished that their team had some pride when they played for their country instead of thinking about how much thay can earn..
When was the last time England beat anybody worthwhile?
No 1966 references please!
Scotland are better than England now ??
Discounting the red cape being waved in the face of a herd of bulls on here, I say good for them. National pride is a good thing, and even my country right or wrong is a good thing, or used to be.

Hi Redzone,
I notice you failed to answer the question about which decent team England have beat recently!!
I'm not on a wind up, but let's be honest England wouldn't have gone to Paris and won, they don't seem to have the passion and bottle these days.
Are Scotland better than England now ??? Well we are top of our group, which is a lot harder group than yours, whereas yous lot are struggling.
Too many foreigners in the Premiership, restricting the youngsters coming through.

yes,you are doing well at present but lets not get carried away.
great result in paris to complete a double over the french but you haven't qualified yet
.
if you do, you have to produce the goods in the tournament itself.i don't want to rub it in, but your performances in the actual tournament stages, both world cup & euros ( when you've qualified ) is pretty dismal.
england have under achieved, but going out on pens, which is our main mode of exit from tournaments, is no real disgrace.
as for recent results against decent teams, how about 1-5 in munich against the germans.
currently 3-0 & 3-0 versus israel & russia are good results.
i hope you do qualify & maybe draw us in the finals. then we can see for certain who are the top dogs

I still remember the last time that happened. It was amazing how many ardent Scottish supporters suddenly reverted to supporting their club side onlyi hope you do qualify & maybe draw us in the finals. then we can see for certain who are the top dogs
Championship Stoke City 3 - 0 Plymouth Argyle 
Points 48; Position 20

To be fair chaps, and I'm a passionate, but realistic England supporter.
We're pretty cack at the moment, and they are performing better than us.
We are over-hyped, too many people believe the newspapaers about how good we are ....... Emile Heskey up front, that bellend doesn't even own a pair of football boots, got a fair collection of ice skates though.
Our problem is their isn't the young players from lower divisions coming through due to the amount of foreigners in our top sides.
Surely it's only gonna get worse.
Scotland are better than us ........ at bowls.

Talk is cheap
No idea, but whatever it is, the Scots are world champs at it and are justifiably proud!Burger wrote:caller wrote:

Remember, this is a country that still fondly recalls an Archie Gemmill goal in yet another abysmal failure as being one of their all time sports highlights! You know the one, where his legs couldn't carry him over the fence? Or was that strachan? They all look the same to me.
Talk is cheap
Cmon chaps.
We are talking about the present. Scotland have arguably the best young squad in Europe. We sit atop a group which boasts the two world cup finalists from 2006
In the Scottish premier league a squad must contain at least 3 under 21 nationals every game. Maybe if Englend started this they wouldn't have to recall their misfits from the last world cup.

Could be wrong but the last time we played did we not prompt Tony Adams to quote "We was lucky, we got pummelled". And we had Christian feckin Dailly in the team.Big Boy wrote:I still remember the last time that happened.

Just shows what pride in the jersey can achieve.
Looking at the fixtures I reckon we'll do very well to qualify but there's no doubting we're punching well above our weight so far. Not enough Hibees in the squad like.
Never trust a hippy....

There's a lot of average cheap foreigners in our game.
John Terry, Sol Campbell, Ledley King, The Man U old youth lot who went on to win everything, they only developed into top players by playing in the Premiership. Sure there's laods of youngsters in the lower leagues who would make it if given the chance.
As for Scotland, they're out shining us at the moment, no question, good luck to them, let them have they're moment in the sun.

Agree, England should implement that, I would go so far as only 3 foreigners in a club side.In the Scottish premier league a squad must contain at least 3 under 21 nationals every game.
