The English FA would have had to source out facilities and enquire with individual companies in charge of those facilities about the cost and availability of them. They then choose to book or not as would be the same with hotels to be based at. Much like its each of our own responsibility to book our accommodation on trips abroad - it has nothing to do with the SFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the SFA and the FA got together to arrange the 150th anniversary "Heritage" game a year or so ago and the SFA said to the FA make your own arrangements regarding training facilities etc as it's nothing to do with us ?

Absolutely. Just like FIFA organise World Cups but its up to individual football associations to choose where they wish to be based and book after sourcing the facilities out.

This team does not need ego massaging wins over minnows that gives us no clues as to where we stand and offer no test. We look good for Euro qualification and are going to be in League A in the Nations League next year. We will be tested against top teams so we need to experience similar such tests to see where we stand and in what areas we need to improve to be competitive. It also lets Clarke see which of his squad are most comfortable playing against the very best teams. You get nothing from games against lesser nations and we are at a stage where we know we are better than those minnows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are we wouldnt, we are decent team right now. Even though we are doing great right now there is a reasonable chance we lose the next three games. I would rather we only lose 2 and then won one before going into the georgia game. If we picked someone like Latvia or Moldova we would have a nice confidence boosting win going into our tough away fixture with georgia. Maybe a slightly pessimistic way to think but we are not an elite team and I would hate to see us lose three on the bounce after all the good work we have put in.

Our record in friendlies is atrocious. I think our players are intelligent enough to know that there is no shame in losing to England, France and Spain. Well France and Spain anyway. 😂 There is a month and a lot of club football between the France game and Georgia as well so even if we do lose all 3 games (which is by no means guaranteed) I don’t think the results will have any impact on our performance in Georgia. We may already have qualified by then anyway. Edited September 11, 2023 by Texas Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went looking for our matches over the past 20 years to see what shit I had been at. Your right we lose friendlies no matter who we are playing. Don't know if there was much choice during these International breaks to pick and choose opponents anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
