'...and sent them homewards.....'

Unfortunately not, this time, and I don't imagine theres the slightest possiblity of winning at wembley on wednesday either. This match always raises a curious issue with me. I'm a half-breed, that is half scottish, half english, yet I can't help but feel dissapointed when Scotland loses against England in football - even though I don't really like football.

As far as I'm aware, out of 85 matches played between England and Scotland, that makes the score 45 - 40 in Englands favour, not too bad a record considering the difference in population. Although I would imagine this will increase to 46 - 40 on Wednesday.

On thing I don't agree with - and something I see all too many times among Scottish Supporters - is when England play any other team in any event, and Scotland have been knocked out of the event - many will support Englands opposing team. Despite the rivalry, which in most cases is taken in good humour, I think more of us should get behind the British team in such circumstances.
