The old Home Internationals were not much more than friedlies where teams tried out their squad players - but when it came to Scotland England it was different. First teams and pride at stake.


Not that I care much as a neutral, but I'd like to see Scotland give a good account of themselves.

of course i did watch it (after I had seen what they were going to do with all that lamb on Masterchef - Boning and rolling that shoulder!... it was NEVER going to cook on time) and was pleasantly surprised. Loved the hustle and the confidence - always hassling the Scots and seeming to have lost that nervousness that has typified England. They wanted it more than the opposition.


This could be the starting line up for any game - regardless - dawn of a new era etc. no players with the old Billy-big-bollox attitude (even Wellbeck and Rooney seem to be playing with the team rather than for themselves) and some great young potential.


Shame the opposition wasn't up to much.

Not getting tooooo carried away with England's good performance as the Scots were probably hungover from their exertions against Ireland.

Standouts for me were Clyne and Shaw looking very good at FB, and Wellbeck and Rooney who ran the Scottish defence ragged. Wilshere almost Scholesque with some of his passing (he pinged some good balls in the Slovenia game too).

Only low point was picking Downing and playing him out wide where he lost his effectiveness years ago...

The thing with that is if England aren't any good, doesn't say much for the Scots, not that I'm fussed either way.

Is Mario out with a hamstring? If so, that just leaves Borini and Lambert, you never know, they might work...

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
