We have always had separate teams in the UK. Who would support the notion of such a team? The English wouldn't, because the other nations would only add the odd squad player (Hutton, Giggs?) to a UK team, while the Celtic nations would complain about not being represented.<BR/><BR/>We were playing in other before we started to play any other countries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-29054300615969430422008-11-23T22:12:00.000+00:002008-11-23T22:12:00.000+00:00To be fair to the common 5/8ths out there, £35 is ...To be fair to the common 5/8ths out there, £35 is way too much, especially in this ecconomic climate, to pay for a ticket to a meaningless friendly.<BR/><BR/>Yes we did used to have a conveyor belt of sportin talent. However, we have an alarming lack of facilities in this country, but a surplus of councllors who don't see this as a problem. Forget the World class sportsman issue, the lack of facilities in Scotland is a health issue and encroches into Law and Order issues too (providing somewhere for our teenagers to go, other than sit in deralict ground and drink).<BR/><BR/>Your comrades in government have at least made a start in this respect, but it is only a small step. Norway, for example, has an indoor football pitch in every town. They don't have the health and social problems we do, and they have qualified out of their group at a World Cup too.Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13574173214924437278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-35632733442702343762008-11-22T19:10:00.000+00:002008-11-22T19:10:00.000+00:00(David Duff) 15:50Not only was it a valid goal, th...(David Duff) 15:50<BR/>Not only was it a valid goal, the English were a truly great team with players such as Banks, Moore, Styles, R Charlton, Hurst and Peters who would have graced any team in the world before or since.<BR/><BR/>Only in Scotland do you find people who can’t accept that.Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-66960541530731072192008-11-22T19:02:00.000+00:002008-11-22T19:02:00.000+00:00(Oakwood) 09:35I agree, the ‘Tartan Army’ is an ex...(Oakwood) 09:35<BR/>I agree, the ‘Tartan Army’ is an excuse for grown ups to make fools of themselves and like the SNP spew forth their anti English poison, they are also the most disloyal fans to be found as witnessed in Argentina when they turned on Aly McLeod and the players.Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-9384063273324379642008-11-22T15:50:00.000+00:002008-11-22T15:50:00.000+00:00"IMO the English goal was valid"Oh dear!
