mentalist Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Would it be cynical to suggest this is being announced just before the supporters club renewals start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryWood34 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 What? 1. it’s never ever ever meaningless v “them” 2. pricing has been announced already and it’s absolutely wonderful for all the matches. SFA should be commended to see 5 matches for £125 is incredible - well done. Some nations wouldn’t be far off that for 1 match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Some folk will moan about anything, just for the sake of moaning. Why couldn't they have added the dates of all the games, in the same email, so that we didn't have to go hunting around somewhere else for them? Useless fukers.

ErsatzThistle Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I would have preferred a friendly against Brazil or Argentina to living in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if it's a celebration of 150 years of international football it has to be between the two teams who started it. That's the whole point of the match. Like it or not it's a fact that Scotland and England exported the game to the world. Brazil and Argentina certainly didn't. Would like to play either of these two countries but not in a celebration of the first international match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't just another team in this context. They are the other team involved in the first ever international match. The only reason the game is even taking place is to commemorate that fact. It's a complete nonsense to suggest anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hardly say in a football sense commemorating the first ever International match would be regarded as just another stupid anniversary. I for one take great pride in our involvement in the beginnings of football. I think it is a great match to be involved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to do the same to commemorate Wales and the six counties first matches against Scotland ? Guarantee you the world media won't care about this match against England at all.
