    Quite the opposite.

    Murray is a whinging Jock hypocrite.

    Married to an English girl, lives in a gated enclave in Surrey…supports the SNP & Scottish Independence.

    Id make him go and live up there if they ever get it.

    That was a remark he made when he was 18. Life's too short to bear grudges, it really is.

    He really isn't! I know someone (English btw) who's had dealings with him and found him quite the reverse. This thread has taken a strange turn.

    Agreed.

    If it could be returned to the topic that might be best.
    There's always plenty of room for banter, but that seems in this case to have turned into the airing of anti-Scottish discrimination.

    Cracking game tonight between Croatia & Italy.

    Once again makes the case for restricting finals to elite, established nations.

    Other results mean that England have now qualified for the round of 16 before they play tonight.

    Qualifying with a match to spare is good, but something of a double edged sword as well.
    Southgate could make some changes if he wishes, but the performance and result against Slovenia tonight won't mean very much.

    England have not yet played a game at this tournament where there is anything really at stake during the 90 minutes.
    And tonight is now no exception.
    The team know they are through, so there is no pressure on them.
    They might thrash Slovenia 6-0 and we still learn nothing about the way they will play in a knock-out stage match.
    Or they might slump to defeat as they did against Iceland recently - another match where there was nothing at stake.

    England supporters will still have no idea how the team will play when under pressure.
    Don't think I'll even bother to watch the game tonight. It's meaningless.

    Every game in a European Championship there is something at stake.

    England now very likely to be playing Austria in the last 16.

    Southgate once again talking about the “external noise” <doh>

    He means the valid criticism of him being a c rap manager.

    A lovely tribute to Modric by the football press corp after last night’s game.

    You want to finish top of the group to get a favourable draw.
