England V Scotland

[Togo]

Let battle commence. Small punt in place scorecasts @ £1 each. This is a proper game of footie. Not for the faint hearted.

[Togo]

They are out on the pitch, Scotland in PINK?

[DTCwordfan]

Wussies.

[agchristie]

Well Togo, maybe it's a case of the Gay Gordon's dancing rings round the pitch and outclass England. Or perhaps not....

[melv16]

What's the odds for one of the Jocks to be sent off?

My forecast..Eng 4 Sco 0

[Togo]

I was very impressed with the remembrance presentation. Not a peep from either set of fans. Fitting.

[DTCwordfan]

why the hell are they wearing pink? What's the matter with Scottish saltire blue or is this a new Nicola initiative? a pink and white flag?

Real men wear pink!

I hope that the Scots win. If they don't I hope they remember the bit of turf I ordered.

[Old_Geezer]

Commentator said that some white flash on the sleeve was considered a colour clash.

So I guess it was an opportunity to try out the pretty in pink strip.

Sowe are now one up. :-)

[Togo]

And relax, all I need now is 3-0 or 3-1 for a payout.

[anneasquith]

Susan, I have ordered a few yards as well :-)

[DTCwordfan]

it should make for nice bath towels....I bet they don't appear at Hampden in pink!

[anneasquith]

Well they wouldn't DT, its their away strip.

[Togo]

Phew, relax for a few minutes and have a glass. Scotland are as tight as we expected, but can they last the distance. Not a bad game , when you see some of the dross that poses as International football. Could do with an early goal second half though, then I would be zoned for bed.

[DTCwordfan]

I'm no soccer fan, Anne, but it's awful.....why not in blue...there's enough contrast to the England white? Bet the Scottish rugby team wouldn't turn up at Twickers or the National Stadium in this colour.

[DTCwordfan]

Or maybe they would if paid £25k a shirt and sponsored by the shirt-maker 'Pink'? However, aren't they a London-based company?

[anneasquith]

I'm no soccer fan, that's obvious DT, if your contribution is the colour of the football strip. Might we expect a discussion on hairstyles ?

[DTCwordfan]

Irrelevant, unless they dye their hair pink for the return match.....

[DTCwordfan]

Great header.......

[zebo]

Is it true that FIFA are calling it 0-0 whatever the outcome? Seen it somewhere else.
