Great cross but Ox did not mean to glance that ball in, he was trying to meet it full bore. He practically had his eyes closed.

It did come off his bonce at an angle neither I nor the keeper expected. I'm enjoying it so far. Scotland have grown into a solid passing team - a Strachan thing?

2-0 up against the Scots. Are we all feeling proud of the achievement?

That Robertson is alright isn't he? 
The bit they were finding hard, was doing that in the oppo's half.

Poor game all round. Neither side really got properly going, and I felt we made an average England side look good.
We should have either changed the side from what we put out against Ireland, or played in the same aggressive style. We did neither which is just daft. I hope Strachan has learned something tonight, I have enough faith in the wee man that I think he will.

From an english perspective i thought it was a very entertaining game - for a friendly. England's recent games in the qualifiers have been dull affairs.

Did you see the Wembley friendly last year? That was excellent, with the added romantic bonus of Rickie Lambert scoring the winner. Lambert and Holt are my two favourite English players these days. Properly old school battering ram type forwards.
Tonight was a knackered side playing an experimental one. Did Downing win a competition to get a start or something? Is he dying and his last wish was another game in an England shirt?
I'd agree that England's qualifiers, from what I've seen, have been incredibly boring. They always are though as due to the bizarre FIFA rankings you're always seeded in the top ten so stroll through easy groups. I've got a half cocked theory that FIFA rank you so highly just to keep you sweet and onside. If all this talk about a World Cup boycott comes to anything (and you'll need trophy contenders on your side for it to work) the international football landscape could become an interesting place.

I laughed at the Scottish fan who ran on the pitch when they scored to make it 2-1.
The Police were still dragging him down the tunnel when Rooney scored the 3rd goal!

Are Brendan Rodgers' days now numbered? All partisanship aside (I am an Evertonian) and looking at it neutrally, it seems LFC have a huge dilemma. Their fans have huge expectations and after falling at the final hurdle last season, they are underperforming this. Their fans are beginning to turn on Rodgers (after a dozen or so games FFS!!), but other than Chelsea and Southampton everyone has been quite inconsistent this season, although one or two seem to be getting things back on track recently, e.g. Utd, Spurs< Everton.
After winning manager of the year last season, would they be acting prematurely to change managers now? Personally I think he'll be gone very soon unless they win their next 3 or 4 games quite comfortably as their owners are seriously hard headed business types, anyone who sacks Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool must be, and they will be quite impatient.

It took a lot less for the media and the Geordie faithful to turn on Pardew...
Personally I reckon Rodgers should be punted. His signings have been dodgy at best, he's tactically inept and spouts nonsense when interviewed. They've got an easy ride until mid December which might help save him, particularly if they (undeservedly) get out their Champions League group.
