Win 2-0 with a particularly special second goal (sadly not available on Youtube). Then invade the pitch after the final whistle. Break the crossbar. Dance around with Rod Stewart. Wait for most of the England fan/s to go home. And then it should be fairly easy to get home.


Alternatively sing Engerland Engerland Engerland, God Save the Queen, and FO Europe, and they will think that you are an England fan. You can practice by watching Questiontime on Thursday and shouting at anyone in the slightest bit liberal.


Or pretend to be Russian, and the queues will part like the red sea.


Good luck - it's a pity that your team has become so weak in the last 20 years. So much more passionate than the home country.

I think the OP just wants to highlight that there is a match coming up but....


A kilt is a statement of national identity of a team and nation that have always been at odds with England. Those comparing it to a man in a dress probably overestimate the mindset of a minority of England fans especially in post Brexit mode, and who may just have been put to the sword (or the little dagger thing).


There is a history of Scottish celebrations at Wembley and Trafalgar Square and a win would re-ignite the fixture. Beware the underdog.

Fair point Mick Mac - watch yourself, Dover. In the current climate there may be an above average number of meatheads out to prove what they regard as a point.


Though personally if I see anyone hard enough to wear a kilt in the traditional manner in this weather I'd steer well clear...

The song will be sung on Friday night - to the tune of Hokey Cokey.

Two things that put me seriously off professional football - music after goals (thank God most of those teams were relegated to the Championship) and garish away kits. Three actually - unecessary changes of kits. So not only do you have a dreadful second kit, you insist on wearing it at away matches? Yuk. Just leave, now, just leave the Union, now, and don't come back until you have sorted it.


Anyway I've found it. In 38 years my memory has dimmed a little - I thought it was 2-0 but Channon got a dodgy penalty at the end. And the brilliant second goal, well it was a brilliant pass and cross which I distinctly remember.... And a proper Scottish kit. (Ignore the Revie/Admiral one, although doesn't look so bad now)

But I have got an accurate memory of the noise the Scots made that day as opposed to the near silence of the England fans. In part of course as the tighter packed and much smaller old Wembley captured the noise so much better than the overdesigned modern venue.

On Friday Scotland will be playing in Pink, with Brown in the middle.

As long as you understand the phonetic spelling vernacular...ye ken?

Surprised to see a banner ad for MI5 appear on that website...the enemy within ;-)

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
