Christ, we moan enough about drums but listening to that Jock cat strangler squealing out Flower of Scotland takes the biscuit.

Great to see a minutes applause, such a sad reason behind it though :( RIP Nathan.

Chris Martin, fucking hell. We've gotta beat this lot.

Whatever happened to Chris Iwelumo

Actually, talking to myself, I'm fairly relieved Steven Fletcher isn't playing. This will probably be our toughest match for a while.

Read the team news, sighed, went back to what I was doing before

You'll go blind. You do know that?

Love a bit of pitch mic swearing.

And a goal

Decent one too.

Am I imagining this, or did we once nearly sign Mulgrew?

So much for the hostile Celtic Park atmosphere - great goal from England, seem pretty comfortable at the moment and playing well!

No. It was Pugh, Pugh not Charlie Mulgrew, but we did sign Cuthbert but not Dibble or Grubb

Who are the England fans encouraging to 'Cheer up..'?

Scottish Bastards?

Rule Britannia was mint.

Gordon Strachan?

Cheer up Gordon Strachan

Oh what can it mean?

It's all a bit odd.  I thought that there would be Saltires everywhere and a bit of atmosphere for this...but it does feel like any other friendly.  Why is it that the Calcutta Cup game, which gets played every year, generates such passion - but when it comes to the football, no one really seems to care?

Agreed a fee of £150k with Wolves in 2008. Mulgrew turned us down. Looking at his career since it's clear he made the right choice

That's the one.  Happened around the same time that Jerel Ifil went to Aberdeen (and then did nothing).

Retired at the start of this season

How bad can it be ?
Your a crap Scottish Bastard
With a Shit Football team

I love Gordon Strachan.

Reporter: 'Gordon, can we have a quick word please?
Strachan: 'Velocity.'  [Walks off.]

£55 for the cheapest ticket is a guaranteed atmosphere killer.

Fantasy game scenario: Swindon vs Scotland?

Go on.  Speculate.

For the first time in ages, we don't have loads of Scots in the team (or management team), so it's a valid question.

Just text my Scottish ex-colleague if there was anything good on TV..Only one of us found the text amusing it seems..

Always nice to beat them, even better when it happens in chilly jockland

We'd certainly give them a game. Looking at the team that played last night it's mostly Championship standard players and we're not too far away from that standard.

I was thinking that while watching them yesterday too. England passed the ball well but the Jocks wouldn't be a threat in the Championship IMO, too many poor passes and no end product at all.

I reckon we'd win. Just.

We'd be the underdog for sure, it's whether we could raise ourselves for that one off occasion a la Wigan/Burnley cup games of recent years.
