The pitch is virtually next to Ben Nevis,I think they tend to switch most matches to te opponents grounds.Wouldn't make any difference they would lose wherever they play

It's a load of bollox - Scotland play in Edinburgh later in the group stages.

Junior Football is Scotland's 2nd sport.

What is Scotland's first sport then, if football is second?

Or do you think 'junior football' is a different sport to football?

In part it was a joke but I mentioned it seperately because of it's lack of recognisation by many - unknown that such leagues exist to many in England with bigger crowds than the Scottish 1st/2nd Division. There also seems to be a lack of vocal fanbase at such clubs - it's like a lighthearted pastime.



Shinty's popular in the Highlands :icon_wink

It's low level Scottish football, how much recognition are we supposed to give them?

Clubs like Hinckley Utd and Nuneaton can also get bigger crowds than clubs in the Scottish 1st/2nd division. I'm sure few football fans in Scotland know anything about them, and why should they?

Wales and Scotland voted for France to host the WC in return for some home fixtures, doesn't seem quite right but there you go.

England woeful, the next game against Samoa will decide if we go through or not. We should beat them even despite being in poor form but they can certainly hit hard.

Ireland could well go out too

Ireland were even worse than England if that were possible. It will be tough for them to qualify.

Thankfully for England, Samoa are even worse than we are so we should get past them in the same style as Ireland got past Georgia. :icon_conf :icon_conf

Samoa somehow scored points against SA and have the strength to do so against us.

Don't try and make excuses Steve, we are utter dogshite at Rugger Union atm. 4 years of mismanagement evident on the world stage.

No excuses, England are crap. Just that in our group Samoa and Tonga are just slightly worse.
