Not every day you'll hear me say that (must still be reakin) but watching football focus just now and see that England players give all there match appearance fee to charity, Lampard saying that getting paid for playing for your country goes against the ethos of international football as it's meant to be an honour to play for your country and not something you should get paid for and he's absolutely spot on.
Not sure how much Scotland players get paid but this is something they should definately be following, although i'm not enitirely sure if they do get paid for playing or if it's a bonus they get if they ever qualify

Fair play to Hitler he banned smoking on public transport too
Easy to give up your fee when your wages are in excess of 100k a week, the cynic in me will think it's some kind of tax dodge with charitable donations

its a good gesture...with players paid so much by clubs they don't need the international money (in the past it was other way round).....it also means you will really only get the players who want to play for their country turning out...it will get fans back on their side after the shocker they had at WC

They could of course insist that they also pay for all those free tickets that they receive for family and friends if they haven't already done so.
Opinions will be split on this I feel.

I'll make a pledge on here: As soon as I start earning over 50 grand a week, I'll start donating every fourth weeks wage to charity.
Am I generous or what!

I'm sure the Scotland squad agreed to only being paid their appearance money if they qualify for the finals of which ever tournamemt they are trying to get to. Not sure what happens to the cash when they fail to qualify but there must be a fair few bob in that bacnk account by now.
When you think that there will be some younger players in the Scotland squad who will earn a few hundred quid a week, I recon that is a far bigger gesture than the multi millionares giving up their small fees.

Players on international duty will still be paid by their clubs their basic wage for that week. No appearance or win bonuses, of course, but they'll still receive their basic wage.
Decent of the English players to give international fees to charity but they're still earning in those weeks.
