It's a forum for posting views and opinions, I am entitled to my views and opinions and to air them on a forum. It would appear I am not the only one who has no interest whatsoever. Enjoy the tournament. Of course you're entitled to your views and I'm sure lots of people do agree with you. I just struggle to understand the logic of wanting to read a thread that is all about something you have no interest in. I should have added 'anybody else the same?' on my original post. Now where's them stocks and a Town centre?

Yes read the opening post,Who do you think will win,who are the dark horses,are you too fat for your shirt? ect Just checking cos apparently you're not allowed to say you're not interested in the tournament. I reckon it'll be shit just from them fucking about with the format and not holding it in one country. It's mainly just morleyterrier that's not allowed to say hes not interested,I think the tournament could be worse because of having to sit down in pubs,and not been able to throw beer over morleyterrier sat knitting in the corner

You care so little that you thought you'd go on to a thread about something that you have no interest and tell people that you have no interest? I never understand these kind of posts. Why waste your time on things you care not a jot about? It's a forum for posting views and opinions, I am entitled to my views and opinions and to air them on a forum. It would appear I am not the only one who has no interest whatsoever. Enjoy the tournament. As a fellow Town fan I’m with you all the way in this one, I don’t wish England any bad luck, they seem quite capable of manufacturing enough of their own, but I won’t be celebrating should they go on and win the Euros. 45 years ago when I started to support Town I decided I invested too much, emotionally and time wise (not to mention financially !) following them to be able to do likewise with the national team so never aligned myself with them, I’ve been to one game, at Wembley when the sweaty’s were banned but still made up half the crowd and that was a trip that Keith Hanvey organised with HTFC. I have to say that given their record over the years it seems I made a sensible choice, less highs and more lows than even Town have managed in the same time and I have friends and fellow Town fans who are huge England fans and follow them home and away but it’s simply not for me. I can honestly said, hand in heart if I was offered a choice of complimentary ticket and free transport and accommodation to watch England in the World Cup Final against Brazil or Germany in say Paris or Madrid and they will win 5 - nil OR I pay all my own costs and watch Town against Crewe or Southend in the LDV Autoglass Paint Pot Final at Wembley and take my chances that they win or lose it would be Wembley, every time, 100%.

So Lingard hasn't been selected for the Euros but he's playing tonight in a warm up game? ?

Are they playing at the Riverside because of Southgate? Hardly an international stadium is it?

Scotland's away kit is very nice, especially compared to the abortions Nike continually come up with for England kits

On another note, OK - the Austrians are a decent test - but I wish they'd leave out their colour concept as regards kit. Looks so clinical and hospitalized, it even wouldn't be out of place in a football team from the mental asylum from "One flew over the cuckoo's nest"!

Think the US team in some tournament years ago tried the same thing, but with much bigger numbering. Can't think of any since (with numbering on front ot shirts, probably been some). Wow! 2-1 Scotland!!

He's been one of the premier league stand out midfielders this season. Why would he be busting a gut tonight when he's not been selected? The ones that have been selected are strolling around with their flip flops on so calling out Lingard as the weakest link is hardly fair, is it? Oh, just as I post Lingard plays a key role in the goal.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, Southgate is just a nice guy. Wants to be friends with everyone. Probably picked Lingard because he felt bad not taking him to the Euros. It’s pathetic.

I don't recall Godfrey, White or Ward Prowse being selected either so why are they playing a warm up game 11 days before a major tournament?
If your 23 man squad aren't fit to play a friendly at this stage then you're in trouble.

Yes, that's what I thought: Used to be a copy of Germany, I think - then became more of an Arsenal-type shirt with an indignant black eagle on it. Bit of a mystery as to why they're wearing these crap colours! :-)

And the ref fucks Scotland over by continually giving Holland soft free kicks on the edge of the box til they finally equalise from one in the 89th min. Dupay is lucky to still be on the field to score it 🤬

If your 23 man squad aren't fit to play a friendly at this stage then you're in trouble. They were given the choice of going home or sticking round to get experience of being in and around the squad and some game time in the friendlies. Good management imo and they will be slowly integrated into future squads it would seem.

No, good management would be getting the 23 man squad ready for a major tournament that starts in just over a week. He's got plenty of time to blood players he didn't deem good enough after.
