Originally posted by blade68I think it was something to do with England being far to strong for the other 4 nations, and that the English FA said it was a waste of time.
They should bring 'em back!
Not quite sure why they ceased in the first place..
Also at the time it was scrapped.. the thinking was that people would not be interested.
But i think the time has come to re-start it again. (its much better to watch that then the time wasting friendlies that england play these days)
Originally posted by SALADINThey could play end of season like they used to, but not every year... only play when there isn't either a World Cup or a Euro Championships taking place...

I'd like to see the Home Internationals return...
They could have a veterans tournament!
Keegan - Dalglish - Dai Davies - Whiteside etc... oh be still my beating heart!
Originally posted by blade68Perhaps the fact that the Jocks played us of the pitch and beat us in one of the last games. Jim Baxter actually found time to sit on the ball during the game to taunt us. They were a bloody good team. After the game, the Jocks ran riot on the pitch (that hallowed turf) breaking the goalposts and stealing our penalty spot. They have still not retuned the spot to us.

Jim Baxter played in the Scottish side years before they invaded Wembley - that was '76\'77...
I couldn't see the present lot getting anywhere near us on the pitch now - I mean, James McFadden? Come on!
