England 2 Scotland 3 .... 1967

[usahibee]

I have just got my food parcel from my son in Scotland.
Apart from the Single Malts and chocolate and stuff he sent me a DVD of the game when we became WORLD CHAMPIONS after humpin them at Wembley.
Now it was a freebie from the News of the World but it is the full game.
Black and white and a bit like Pathe news ;D
For you younger kids.... this game had no subs... no yellow/red cards...and some of the tackles were to say the least OUCH.
Compared to today`s game they may have ended 5 a side.
If anyone wants a copy let me know.
The commentary is so effing biased towards the english.
I think it was Kenneth Wolsenholme if anyone remembers that name ;D
Am AULD so i do.
The game itself is the 1 where Baxter does the keepie uppie.
Magic stuff.
Am no giving any o yous ma malts so dont ask

I bought this on Video a few years ago, d**n magic, though must admit Jackie Charlton would have been subbed early on. You're right about Wolstenholme, absolutely atrocious commentary, but if you think he cant be any more biased you should try watching the 1970 WG3-2 England match.

The opening international at the new Wembley is scheduled this summer v BRAZIL. Feart tae play us!! Cowards. Might have been more appropriate to play us given that Scot.V Eng.is oldest inter. fixture on the planet. Also would have been nice to take over Wembley once again (reclaim the pitch & goalposts) and celebrate anniversary of the Great Game. WHAES LIKE US......

it would have been good to shoot them down in their new "Home" i was at the last one when we beat them 1-0,unfortunately they had won the 1st leg 2-0.....Great atmosphere!
The 2-3 game,i have seen it 2 or 3 times(if not more),it was great to see such a great triumph against the world champs of that time.
But quite frankly,the end of the home internationals came at about the right time before all of uk football got band from uefa,due to the hooligans.
Scotland as a footballing nation (as far as i'm concerned) needs to go it's own way,we have or should i say had a system in the 50's-70's that scared alot of teams,we must nurcher that up and at them attack and get away from the "if we do nothing and beat England then thats good enough attitude"?
it may not have been the attitude of the fans back then but when you here the reports and comments from the players of the 50's and 60's it was the only game that was important!
England are a big step way from being a major football nation.But they think they deserve to rule the world.
Thats the empire folks,and quite frankly IT'S OVER!
Scotland needs to structure itself to better itself,follow in the footsteps of holland and other nations,we still have Something that they don't have!?(though if i knew what it was!!)
I have been to quite a few Scotland away games and i was a member of the Tartan Army,,and well the further we push ourselves from the England football Association the Better!
Don't get me wrong i'm not anti-English,i just want Scotland to find it's OWN way!
