Beyond the last 16 stage, that particular ditty is generally up for grabs as the only England fans still "in country" are usually banged up inside for getting pissed and violent on lager that is stronger than their standard tipple 4.1%.
Tragically, unlike most of the major footballing nations in the world, England can only generally watch reruns of "their finest hour " in black and white!! Don't know why they bother.

Saltire on my shirt
Never get to qualify
It comes from wearing skirts
No need to book a trip
We're not going anywhere (and it hurts)
So many jokes, so many jeers
But all those oh so nears
Wear you down
Through the years
Scotland's staying home
They're staying home
It's coming &
Scotland's staying home

Isn't it normally Germany - hardly an 'upstart'?Originally posted by shaunbhoy View Postwhen England get humped in the last 16 on penalties by some upstart Johnny Furriner nation.

Scotland's finest hour was also in black and white, the following year. But I don't think they got a trophy for it.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostTragically, unlike most of the major footballing nations in the world, England can only generally watch reruns of "their finest hour " in black and white!!

You broke the cross-bar after another win a few years later - that was in colour.Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostNaw, but we did get half the Wembley Turf!!
There was also another great win by the Wembley Wizards. No known damage but that can't be proved as there wasn't even black and white in those days.
Incidentally, do I detect a common factor running through the opposition and location of Scotland's greatest football moments in history... ?
