duncanidaho Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I'd like to see the return of this, it was a great end to the season and the chance for managers to look at new players 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beighton Owl 87 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Can't see it happening again. When there isn't a world cup or euros there is going to be a club world cup going forward. Would like to see us play Scotland every year though in a friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I used to go to the home internationals They were the very definition of a waste of time Being at Wembley in a crowd of 17,000 watching us labour to an unconvincing win against Northern Ireland really wasn't special leave them in the past where they belong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Not for me. There are already too many fixtures and it just doesn’t have the same appeal or attraction for any of the sides that it used to. Like Scram says they’re a good memory from times gone by. They will always be better games too when the Home Nations play and it means something, hopefully crossing paths again in qualifying or a tournament game. They are the proper fixtures and far more exciting. And finally I don’t want Scotland having anything to do with Britain either, so I’d be a hypocrite wanting them anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 It may have been good in the old days but seems a miss-match now. A big football country like England constantly beating minnows, particularly in Wales, and Northern Ireland. Not sure what anyone gets out of it - besides England lauding their superiority over their neighbours. Even when Wales had a once in a blue moon superstar like Bale, they still lost games to England and were expected to. It would be far more interesting and competitive having a home nations tournament without England! So defeats the point really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 It would become tedious with England winning it every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneEightSixSeven Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Nothing to gain on the pitch and all to lose off it with the obvious potential for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I'd like us to make the fixture against Scotland an annual event though with it being the first ever international fixture. Hopefully we alternate home and away every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActonOwl Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Kings Cross is posh now with Dishoom and Macchiatos so a load of left behind Jocks with cans of Tennents is not good for the flat, sorry, apartment, prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
