microdave Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 After seeing pics of Andy Robertson and Harry Kane at the venue of the first international match, I thought I'd venture along for a wee look since I'm in the vicinity. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England, like any other side will be looking for somewhere to train prior to the game. Its a non story. Only highlighted as in European games and pre internationals, the away side get to use the home sides pitch the day/night before as they only show up the day before, Exactly as England will do today/tonight. Seems sensible that if they are in Scotland a day earlier, they will look for some facilities. Rangers aren't using all of it, so genuinely no issue here. Can slag Rangers off for many things, but this isn't one. Surely we have a red blaze pitch left we can let them train on, and provide some Mitre 5 balls to practice with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have the game there imo. Plenty of pubs around about for the visiting fans and it’s walking distance from my house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albanwyr Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Meh - I can understand England being keen to test themselves against Europe's form team. But I can't see what's in it for us to be wasting a friendly slot on a Nations League B side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there's no bother tomorrow, that's the only thing I'm worried about really. Game will take care of itself. Would be good to get a win and get that monkey off the back about not being able to beat them but not a disaster if we don't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrfix Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I'm not sure it has been mentioned previously but just to temper the overconfidence; we have not beaten England this Century. Let that sink in. Last win was 1999 at Wembley, last win at Hampden was 1985. We don't have the best record against them in the last 40 years. About time we got a win tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a different team though. I can't think of a single time we've played them and had a realistic chance of beating them. I'm not expecting us to win, but I am expecting it to be a great contest where there's a single goal in it. I'm not going to be surprised if we win it though, which I would have been had we beaten them in the playoff in 1999 or any other games we've played them since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Scotland and England games were great. My first game was the 1-1 1984(?). It is the oldest International game and our closest rivals/ neighbours/ enemies, however you want to phrase it. Back in the day it was a massive fixture with fans saving up 2 years in advance for the biannual Wembley trips. Also used to be one of the few games on television, shown live. I am looking forward to watching it. I feel the players on both sides and the fans will be up for it. For a friendly it should be competitive, so it will be interesting to see how we do against one of the higher ranked nations, we may face in Germany. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
