Nope. They went on for several years after that. I recall travelling from Leeds - where I was a student - to Glasgow in May 85 to see us beat England 1-0, Richard Gough scoring the winner with a header. ????????????????

The final tournament was played in the 1983-1984 season. The English FA had confirmed before it began that they wouldn’t take part in another one and the Scottish FA followed suit. It ended, somewhat appropriately, with all four teams on the same number of points. That meant that it came down to goal difference and the trophy was won for the final time by Northern Ireland, who finished top by a single goal. The Irish Football Association remain in possession of the trophy to this day
If memory serves me well, the decision was taken a couple of years earlier (1981 ?) against a backdrop of the NI troubles and increased international matches and competitions

You should know by now Edge that the Scottish nation is well used to crushing disappointment. It is part of our psyche!

I think that the Engerlish gammons have shown quite clearly that they are willing to start fights for no rational reason. Most - as we saw by various EDL marches in the summer- dont know the second verse of ‘God Save the Queen.
