Scotland U21 v England U21

[Since90+2]

England are absolutely miles ahead of us, especially in athletism and physicality.

Doing well so far

He is but the England forwards are quite a handful. Big and powerful lads.

Angus Gunn playing for England the traitor that he is

Hardly! He's a boy born in England, with an English mother and a Scottish father. His family are fully engrained in the Norfolk life. The Norwich fans supported the Gunns through all their family problems, which included the death of his sister at the age of two, before Angus had even been born.

I doubt whether Angus ever made it to Scotland that often, with Bryan's family from the North of Scotland.

I'm sure Angus was well supported by the England football structure all through his early life, so it would be a major surprise if he turned his back on England. If he turns out to be traitor, it'll only be if he turns his back on England.

The boy Smith at full back is having a nightmare

I'm here as well. I know it's 0-0 but it really is like men Vs boys. Worrying how far ahead of us they are.

On the plus side Porteuos has player reasonably well up against Solanke.

Is the 'new' stand looking anywhere near finished yet? Police box still blocking the view of the pitch at one end?

It's the plywood backing at the top of the new stand which is hilarious. To be honest it is a half arsed job. The rails down the stairs wobble worse than my stomach after a night out and the seats seem to move in unison when someone stands up, the whole row moves.... Really poor quality all round.

Good to see plenty of Hibs shirts and tops around though

Can also watch using red button on any BBC channel

Can you? I can’t find it ?..

If these English guys are bigger and more powerful than Ryan Porteous they must be super specimens.

Ryan is no weakling.

aye they all seem huge, the captain is a big laddie

[Bishop Hibee]

Is there much can be done about the English players being taller and broader? Watching via the red button and we’re not passing the ball well enough under pressure. No surprise Shaw was subbed at half time as he did nothing admittedly on little service.

[Lendo]

What a strike from England

I don't think it's simply the height they are far more athletic in every way. Faster , stronger , better in the air and they have hardly broke sweat.

Very impressed by them.

[Bishop Hibee]

I agree England have been impressive. We need to combat their superior size by quick passing around them. We’ve been nowhere near doing that. Not much to get excited about for the future on this showing,

Lewis Morgan keeps giving the ball away

Trying to do too much

Scotland are only losing 1nil.. You would think reading this thread we were getting pumped 5nil

[Hiber-nation]

Site must have been down for 40 mins....was going to post that Danny Galbraith must have been watching a different game if he thought Lewis Morgan was Scotland's man of the match. Porteous and Bates were the only contenders. Morgan was poor in the 2nd half, gave the ball away numerous times.

[ddoc]

Being Hibs supporters we are pretty aware that a scoreline does not always reflect a teams superiority.

[Bishop Hibee]

I thought Morgan kept trying with nothing up front or in midfield to help him. Agree Bates and Porteous played well.

Never got to see any of the match as was football training with my wee boy , here's a jambos take on Porteous


'Cadden is number 7. Number 8 is Alan Campbell, also of Motherwell.



On a a side note, think Porteous has looked very poor. Had a good tackle but distribution shocking'

[cabbageandribs1875]

I was having a read of the Neil McCann news on the BBC website when I noticed you could actually watch the game online so I tuned in for a wee bit. From what I saw it could have been 5-0 or more. The Scots looked to be defending admirably and Porteous showed some genuine quality, but England were streets ahead - strong but skilful and seemingly playing only at half throttle. The stats showed something like 26 shots on goal for England. Scotland had one shot on target in the entire game.
