Thought I'd start a football blog, we might keep this going until 2010.....England doing well....did not see the match or even the goals....I'd like Michael owen back in the squad though....and I think Peter Crouch would make a very good substitute...remember against Argentina in Geneva a few years ago....with Michael Owen and some very good movements on and off the ball...they caused havoc.....did see Scotland's missed chance....that could be very costly losing those 2 points !.

And an abuser everywhere.

it truly was the hand of god....brilliant and then the sight of him waltzing pass the english defence for the second...one of life's great days

I can never understand why the Scots are always knocking England....we might tease you lot a little but guess who I was rooting for during the world cups when Scotland was the the only home side present ?.

Maradona...only scored the second because the England defence was rattled after the first !, not such a great goal !.

i dont understand why the english do not get it.........

lets compare....you always want germany to loose for obvious reasons...you forget england was the equivalent for us for hundreeds of years......quite simply football is the modern day battlefiled...england are our biggest enemy historically.......therefore whoever pumps them gets a thumbs up from me and most scots/welsh/irish

plus we have to listen to shearer etc bang on endlessly for hours about england and scotland geta footnate at the end of the programme "makes it worse on the British Boradcasting Corp"

I'll tell you what....I wish our sides would play a few games in South America now and again...they to come to Europe very often and play...it is just a quick hop across the pond...no need for a big base like in a world cup....with weeks of training !, it would improve the sharpness to be able to compete against the mights of Brazil and Argentina and likes on their home ground.....and 2014 will be held in Brazil...not that far away !.

Shame Treble ("sweaties only get a footnote on the beeb") has spent all of todays postings banging on about a south american drug cheat, and his role in Englands downfall.

Did well against you lot though !

joe...he is called king diego up here and he is a legend............i can list some english cheats if it makes yoiu feel better

ps i notice your fans disgraced your country again last night.......nothing unusual there

Trigyou talk about English fans and Diego Maradona.your Scottish fans dont exactly act like Mother Teresa.Scottish soccer hooligans have had a disgusting relationship with Wembley most notoriously ripping up much of the turf and smashing up the goalposts after a extremely rare 2-1 victory in 1977.and to say a fat alcoholicdrug addicted.womanising Mafia king is a legend in Scotland dont bode well for the Scottish way of life!

ah yes.....the day we destroyed Wembley...sorry remind me when was that again...ah yes 30 years ago..........only last wednesday your fans were making arses of yourselves....hardly a god compare for you but i suppose it is the best you can do

Up to date enough Trig?
UEFA CUP FINAL 2008

The leader of Glasgow City Council has admitted he was "ashamed as a Glaswegian" of the violence that marred the Uefa Cup Final in Manchester.
A Russian fan was stabbed and 15 police officers injured in the trouble.
In the most disturbing scene, a mob of Rangers fans attacked a lone police officer who had tripped and fallen.
Pc Regan said earlier the scenes after Rangers' defeat were the worst he had witnessed in 23 years with the Greater Manchester force.

Trebs, how about the Rangers 'fans' running riot in Manchester after their team were well and truly stuffed in the UEFA Cup Final?

no mention of scottish football fans there....only rangers fans

rangers fans are horrible and have nowt to do with the scottish national team

some expmaples of england's cheating....funny how none of this gets the same condemnation from the english fans and press

Paul Scholes Again
Kevin Keegan's first match in charge of England got off to the perfect start with victory over Poland in a crucial Euro 2000 qualifier.

But the game wasn't without controversy as Paul Scholes scored with his hand.

The Poles claimed in vain as the England players celebrated.

Michael Owen

The Observer newspaper ran an article documenting the best ten dives in world football. Michael Owen's dive against Argentina 'was ruled out for patriotic reasons'

Glenn Hoddle on Owen's 'dive' against Argentina
"Watching what happened I went through a range of emotions. I saw Michael touch the ball past the player and go down, and the referee give the penalty. I have to admit I wasn't convinced at the time that it was a penalty. It could have been from where I was sitting, but in my heart I wasn't sure. It certainly wasn't cast-iron. But my immediate reaction was, great maybe that's a bit of justice."

Martin Peters

In his autobiography Martin Peters writes about the game at home to Poland in 1973, which England had to win to qualify for the following year's World Cup. Peters was a magnificent player, and though I've never met him personally, has always come across as an upstanding man.
But 35 years ago, with England a goal down and time running out, he confesses that: "It was looking desperate, and in such circumstances desperate measures are sometimes required." He was tackled inside the area by Poland's left back, "He barely touched me but I went flying. I dived. It wasn't a penalty, but the referee didn't see it that way."
The resulting goal was not enough to qualify England for the World Cup. But Peters' frank admission should be enough to destroy any illusions about England having some natural monopoly on the concept of fair play.

the last time i went to germany to watch scotland was the game in Dortmund about 8 years ago.....we got beat as usual but me and the boys ended up late night drinking with a bunch of German students, we stayed with them the next night and they joined us on our travels to Berlin to continue the party for 3 days, these were probably some of the people the english fans were trying to kick the sh*t out of on Wednesday..............and people wonder why no one and i repeat no one likes the English football team or their fans

Let me get this straight Trigonly the innocent and non violent Scottish football fans watch Scotland playI suppose they are the ones that dont get pissed either?
All your other comments are starting to make sense now.

no we get pissed and have a laugh..............

Trig.I am a football puristif Scotland beat England and they deserved their win I would say soI would drink with the ScotsI have family members that are ScottishI think you will find most of the problems are the other way round.nuff said!!!!
