Guarantee you the world media won't care about this match against England at all. No. Only one can be the FIRST one. The concept is pretty simple. If the world media don't care about this commemoration of the first ever International match i think that says more about their lack of interest in the history of the game than anything else. I'm proud of the crucial part we played in football history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would be interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Not enormously interested in one off Scotland v England games, although I will likely go. Would prefer we had the British International championship back on a four year rotation. I used to love that week at the end of May where it was Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, playing England at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those championships were ever reintroduced I can't see them being taken seriously by clubs or fans. The game has changed too much, players wouldn't want to risk injury and they'd want their time off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just talking my preference, I would prefer no nations leaguebut home internationals every four years but that’s just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd prefer home internationals which essentially mean fuck all now instead of a tournament which cam give countries like scotland a better chance to qualify for the Euros. Yup, you're definitely at it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, you're definitely at it again not at all…. Competing to be champions of Britain. And there would still be the same number of qualifying spots without the nations league.

Funny you should say that because I was going to say the complete opposite on another thread. A few have been suggesting we give a lot of our first-teamers a break for the Turkey game, but when you only get around 10 games a year, it doesn't make sense to disrupt the group. It's worth having everyone together in training for further camraderie at the very least. No one is telling John McGinn to skip out on another cap. He would refuse.
