Nicola Sturgeon refuses to accept result of England vs Scotland match.

Nicola Sturgeon believes the result of the England vs Scotland game yesterday was ‘wrong’ and will fight for it to be overturned.

The 3-0 defeat was the wrong result for Scotland, she said, and pledged to do everything in her power to reverse the scoreline no matter how long it takes.

Reports indicate she has already made a succession of calls to Senior UEFA and FIFA officials to seek their support in changing the outcome.

If she cannot get the result changed by conventional methods, Sturgeon confirmed she has not taken demanding a replay off the table.

“I don’t believe this result is in the best interest of Scotland, or of football, and it is clear that changing it would be entirely fair,” she told reporters at Holyrood.

“UEFA’s position that the result is binding just because we lost is short-termist and doesn’t serve the Scottish people in the way they deserve.”

Sturgeon went on to say she believed England had stolen literally dozens of goals that were rightfully Scottish, and she would organise a wide-ranging consultation and enquiry to examine all aspects of the result and report on how it can best be changed in Scotland’s favour.

Meanwhile, today’s copy of The National newspaper is reporting that Scotland won 18-0 before burning Wembley to the ground.
You missed "I know the majority of the people of Scotland are completely behind me in this"
 

Scotland really are the International Everton

Worst English side for years and they still couldn't win a Derby
You've got it spot on Mikey. Scotland are currently awful and tbh, the current England squad aren't world beaters either. I do genuinely wonder that once again, the English media will be touting the latest England team as potential world cup winners, in the same way they do at every tournament? Let's hope so (from a purely Scottish perspective obviously)
 
Am I the only one who doesn't get the big news that is Gareth Southgate getting the England job? He's another yes man. Not sure it deserves two days of back page attention.

Plus any manager in his age bracket managing international football, clearly isn't cut out for the PL. it's an old mans job or a failed club manager like Loew at Germany.

Everton were atrocious last week but these two week slots without proper football is a killer.

No excitement at all in 8 leagues, where if the favourites don't profess they should have all staff and players banned for 8 months.
 
Southgate now demanding to be given the England job before mid November.

Unreal. How bad are England if someone like him is trying to call the shots?
 

From what I can see, he's basically just asking them to decide on who the new manager will be ASAP, because there's Under 21 stuff that needs to be sorted out. He's not really demanding the job, he's just demanding to know where he stands, so that if he doesn't have it he can make sure the U21's are prepared
