The 36th meeting between England and Scotland took place on Saturday, on the ground of the Newcastle United Club, and ended in a draw of one goal all.
A considerable amount of dissatisfaction arose in Scotland when the Scottish Football Selection Committee decided to have only two players in their team identified with Scotch club football, and more especially was this the case in Glasgow, when for the first time in the history of the game that city was unrepresented. As birth is the qualification for international honours in Association football, the Association were quite justified in selecting nine players from English clubs ; but it is certain that if this course is carried on in the future this match will lose much of its true international character. From the Scottish point of view this is the great match of the year, and as there are still a large number of first-class professionals in Scotland, the disappointment there is quite easily understood.
Although Scotland had rather the better of the game at Newcastle, there was not much to choose between the sides, as England seemed rather more dangerous than their opponents when near goal, and the point secured by Scotland was due to Crompton, the English full back, putting the ball through his own goal. This was two minutes after the start...
A few minutes before change of ends Woodward passed neatly to Bloomer, and the famous forward sent in a low hard shot from quite 25 yards out, and McBride was completely beaten, and so, rather unexpectedly, the sides crossed over with the score one goal all...
In international matches this year Wales have the best record, having won two games and drawn one. England come second with one win and two drawn games.

It was on 7 April 1907 that Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the women's suffragette movement, gave an emotive speech at a demonstration in Hyde Park, London, in which she pointed out that men were only allowed to vote "because of the accident of birth" and, in response to barracking and gauding that "women should stay at home and cook the dinner instead of troubling themselves about votes, she said that the putting of a cross on a ballot paper once in five years would not seriously interfere with the cooking of the dinner. At the present time, through the mismanagement of men, the majority of the people had no dinners to cook". On the evening before, an inquest in Bournemouth had reached a verdict that a 38-year-old mother of seven had drowned herself and her infant son in a water tank after concluding that they could not afford to eat.
