All time Scotland XI vs All time England XI

[Maharajkumar of Vizianagram]

Admittedly Scotland have defied all odds and historically been even more rubbish than England but there were plenty of external reasons for this, most notably the non selection of 'Anglo' players.

 

The list of players they've produced is staggeringly good. Dalglish, Souness, Johnstone, Law, Bremner, White, Hansen and Mackay are surely up there with any eight players England have ever produced? You might argue that Johnstone never proved it in a decent league but the fact that Celtic fans regard him as their greatest ever player, and therefore presumably better than the King, speaks volumes. Then you've got other Scottish league legends like John Greig and Jim Baxter as well as top performers like Leeds' Eddie Gray and our own Ian St.John.

 

Some of you are actually old enough to have seen most of these players play, so take it away old c****, name your all time Scotland and England sides and speculate on which one is better.

Goram

Mcgrain Hansen Holton Grieg

Johnstone Mckay Souness Baxter

Dalglish Law

subs McCoist,Leighton,Liddle,W Miller,Bremner,Nicol.

 

Just off the top of my head but more than a match for anything Engurland can dredge up.

[Cunny]

it's doubtful Hansen would make a Scotland XI - MacKay, McNeill, Greig, Miller, McLeish to name but a few would probably be ahead of him.

I'm not sure who the keeper would be but my XI

 

 

GK: Goram

RB: McGrain

LB: Grieg

CB: MacKay

CB: McNeill

RW: Johnstone

CM: Souness

CM : Bremner

LW: Baxter

FW : Dalglish

FW : Law

 

Struggled for a right back, so put Nicol down out of blind bias.

edit : I thought McGrain was a LB for some reason.

Libero might have some names I've missed.

Speaks volumes about Celtic fans, yes.

I'm not sure I agree with all the names you've chosen tbh

 

Teddy Sherinham, for instance, was a far superior player to Defoe

Andy Goram the best you've ever had, better than Bill Brown? and 'Big' Jim Holton instead of Buchan!

 

Mind, ferguson left Hansen at home for a world cup when he was in charge, preferring Evans and McLeish as I recall. Must be a Jocko thing..

 

Anyway, this England team would whup any Jock X1.

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

I've decided Edwards would have turned out to be s***

[_00_deathscar]

I've heard a lot about Bremner, and Souness of course. Wouldn't those two in midfield be particularly frightening?

Goram is only my personal opinion and from what I have seen.

 

Six foot 2, eyes of blue big Jim Holtons after you.

I'm presuming that this is 2001 Owen otherwise I'd rather have Greaves or Clough (B).

 

Isn't modern day football s***

[anny road]

Liverpool would win

 

obviously

Clough? Might as well put Steve Bull up, Greavesy fair enough but two things to remember...

 

Owen at 18 was THE hottest prospect of all time, unbelievable, never forget how good he was PLUS there's two mancs in my team.

Holton was an oaf, a big lumbering useless toothless manc c*nt. As for keepers, Haffey was the man, Francis Haffey, look him up....

well you see you are old enough to remember his dad but I have only read books about him.

[Ostrich Man]

an all time Ireland* team would beat both hands down.

 

 

*granted it would have to be an united Ireland team and allow for the granny rule to be in place.

[John am Rhein]

Scotland would win because Scotland's better than England

[matty]

If Andy Goram's the best keeper they've ever had, England would win comfortably.
