Hate to sound synical but it's the clubs they play for.
Scotland showing more passion and Gerard hammering the ball out of play a lot. Just what I expected

Appointing foreign coaches is an embarrassment.

You talk about Spain and Germany, did they use foreign coaches to turn-around their success?

No.

They did it themselves.

We've got St George's Park now.

Let's do it ourselves.

Yes, FA executives must have the most opulent surroundings possible if England are going to win.  ::)

Until 6 months ago Hart was the much better keeper. Now though, you may have a point... Feel Foster's self imposed exile has done him no favours.

Ridiculous goalkeeping.

James Morrison scores for Scotland  :)

After seeing the replay, I'm more sympathetic. Hart didn't see it until the last moment, and Mozza really hammered it.

No excuses for me, Quakes. He's gotta be saving that for my liking.

Wow, well I guess I feel a bit better about Kenny Miller scoring against San Jose on Saturday.

Whenever I've seen Scotland, Kenny Miller has usually been absolute dog turd. How can we allow him that much time to get a shot away?

Good header that from Welbeck.

That description would apply to the entire Scotland attack in recent years; tonight is anomalous. But Miller has looked much better recently with Vancouver.

To be honest, you're quite right, any forward would struggle working for Craig Levein!

Well done Rickie Lambert. Dead chuffed for him. All those years of hard work have finally paid off.

What a header from Lambert, delighted for him.

Why can't we play the Scots every year? This is fantastic. I've never seen us play Scotland before.

A fantastic header from Lambert, very few keepers would have stopped that.  Hart should have saved the Morrison shot, it was a great shot from Mozza but very poor goalkeeping.

Totally agree, players get written off sometimes as they come from the lower leagues, some do have the ability to play much higher.

Or George Burley or Alex McLeish.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Griffiths pick up a season-ending knock.  :-X

Don't think McLeish or Walter Smith's Scotland were that bad personally. I remember McLeish's side actually winning quite a few.

Burley, Levein, Vogts reigns have been rubbish to say the least.

How many times is Zaha going to over hit a cross? It's like having Liam Ridgewell on the pitch.

I'm going for a 3-2 win.  Dorrans and Morrison to both score and play well but a win for England.
And for Saturday please  :D

McLeish had his famous win in Paris, but the attack was so feeble that it took a 40-yard wonderstrike by James McFadden to achieve it.

I didn't mention Smith for obvious reasons.  ;)

I thought you had ignored Sir Walter so I thought I'd just remind you of his achievements  ;D they were unlucky in that campaign not to qualify. I remember a terrible decision against Italy going against them which more or less knocked them out.

I've thoroughly enjoyed tonight's friendly. Entertaining game. Hopefully we can replay the game next year at Hampden Park.

I don't think the home nations cup should be brought back, who cares about Wales -v- Northern Ireland for example? But I don't want to wait 14 years for such a fantastic game again. Usually I cannot stand the friendly before the season starts, not this year!
