England got a good draw so will probably beat everyone in their group then lose every game in the finals. Of course the only group that matters is Group F, which the mighty Northern Ireland will go through like a fecking shortcut. Bring it! |

If we can't book a play-off spot at least, I'll be very, very surprised. This is the most favourable draw we've had in a long, long time. As for Norn......goodbye! |

Bullshit.

You have 11 midget alcoholics with nobbly knees. and I'm sure we can beat Belgium and Serbia at Hampden if not away. --> I'll bet, at best, you'll get 2 points out of 12 in those games If we can't book a play-off spot at least, I'll be very, very surprised. This is the most favourable draw we've had in a long, long time. --> A triumph of optimis over common sense. Besides the life expectancy of Scots is 27 years so most of your team will be dead by 2014 -- too many battered Mars Bars. As for Norn......goodbye! --> The silky skills of our p/t Irish League, English 3rd division and scottish league 1 players shall prevail over the fancy dan Ronaldos and Nanis. |

Perhaps if the British football teams would unite instead of sending 4 teams - they might have a better chance in a world cup? Germany lucky as ever will sweat through the qualifying scared to lose to the Faroer Islands :-) |

Unless I'm mistaken, West Germany won more World and Euro Cups than Germany. A Uk team would consist of 11 English players with some token N.Irish, Welsh and Scottish in the squad to make it look like a UK team. Not because the English players are necessarily better, but because they have the most wealth, biggest potential audience, and best national league of the 4 Home countries. Also, Northern Ireland beat England 1-0 the last time we played them. That's not entirely relevant -- I just like to mention it at every opportunity :) |

It is true that West Germany won more titles but East Germany was never a big international team at all,anyway. Therefore, it was not much of a difference. However, no British team has won an international title since 1966, so they must all be on the same level - somehow . *running for cover* ;-) |

Well, I don't know about the rest of the UK countries, but England's future squad is certainly set to burn up the pitch. Even I saw that goalkeeper from football powerhouse Canada score the equaliizer on them from the middle of the damn field in the under 17 matches. link Let me tell you how that would have gone down in hockey. First, any goalie who dared get that far away from his own net would have been swarmed and beaten. And if he started any whining and rolling about on the ice because his tooth got knocked out or because he lost his other eye, the ref would give him a two minute delay of game penalty, not outraged hugs and a Bobby Charlton stuffie. Finally, some brilliant and blistering defenceman would have made sure the puck never got anywhere near the net, and if this all happened optimally at least one person would be going home with a concussion. Now THAT'S a sport. ;) |

Tbh.... I find the whole thing in Scotland a joke when it comes to some sets of "fans" (Thistleboy, you are the exception). Go into a bar or club in Glasgow that has a jukebox and you can risk upsetting Celtic fans if you stick on Tina Turner's "Simply The Best" or Roy Orbison's "Penny Arcade". Or stick on songs by The Pogues and you risk upsetting Rangers fans. Edinburgh is just as bad. Stick on a Proclaimers (well known Hibernian FC fans) song and you risk upsetting Hearts fans..... just plain silly..... and then of course we have the whole religious aspect from Old Firm fans Im just glad I dont bother with any footie team these days |
