June 19, 200619 yr Strange...I'm the opposite. I don't mind the England footy team, but detest the England rugby team as they're incredibly arrogant. Nothing better than seeing them fail to win the five nations.
June 20, 200619 yr Strange...I'm the opposite. I don't mind the England footy team, but detest the England rugby team as they're incredibly arrogant. Nothing better than seeing them fail to win the five nations. Yeah but no one cares about Rugby :lol:
June 20, 200619 yr Yeah but no one cares about Rugby :lol: Yeah, I found the general apathy to your World Cup Winning squad rather bloody pathetic to be honest, in Scotland, Ireland and Wales there would've been a far bigger celebration made of it.
June 20, 200619 yr I slightly agree with the Mogwai comments. The media are overhyped, other countries don't get anywhere near as arrogant as the English media and fans do and many of them do have more reason to be. Obviously I hope we can win it, but at the rate we're playing we won't. If we lose tonight and face Germany in the next round I think our World Cup will end there as well. -_- But yeah, Scottish people who hate the English football side are incredibly jealous of our success. If Scotland were in it I would feel obliged to partly support them, being a home nation but after their pathetic performance this year [off the pitch] I'd certainly be supporting their opposition.
June 20, 200619 yr But yeah, Scottish people who hate the English football side are incredibly jealous of our success. Well, for my own part, it's not jelousy, it's more a case of being rather bored with the thing before it even began because of all the constant progs on TV about it well over a month in advance.... :lol: :lol: But really, my main reason for wanting England to crash out early is because then we could kill all these crappy World Cup songs stone dead..... :lol: :lol: Bloody twelve of the fukkers, each one more dire than the last.....!! And, as I said earlier, I somehow doubt there would've been half as much fuss made in the national media (which is meant to represent the WHOLE nation, not just England...) if England hadn't qualified and one of the other home nations did. I remember in USA '94 when none of the UK nations qualified, the enthusiasm for the competition was incredibly half-hearted even though we should have all gotten totally behind Rep of Ireland, especially when you consider many of us in UK are of Irish descent..... It just seems that every four years the BBC becomes the EBC, if you know what I mean....

June 20, 200619 yr Hmm, I'm supporting England at the moment, but I may be tempted over to Sweden... You should do anyway, remember Henrik Larsson is a hero to Scots.... :lol: :lol: Well, unless you support Rangers.... :P :lol:
June 20, 200619 yr Please explain this comment. Hmm, I'm supporting England at the moment, but I may be tempted over to Sweden... Making pizzas in the shape of a Trinidad & Tobago flag, wanting any other side to crash out, making a song about Trinidad & Tobago - ok so there are enough English songs, but if Scotland had qualified and not England now many English people would have made a song wanting their opposition to win? :rolleyes:
June 21, 200619 yr Oh that...well, that's the Scottish media for you. The rest of the world was supporting Trinidad and Tobago too, they're the gallant no-hopers who everyone has a soft spot for. They also have a sub called Jason Scotland. Well, I supported England last night...and I was enjoying it right up until their terrible defending in the 90th minute. Henrik scoring did make me smile too though I suppose....
June 21, 200619 yr It just seems that every four years the BBC becomes the EBC, if you know what I mean.... correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have your own local BBC news and even local stations?! England does make up the vast majority of the population so the BBC is obliged to do what they want after all... Lastly - just do what I do 11 months of the year and turn the bloody tv off! I admit I've watched a ton of Footie this WC (and defaulted to supported England, but that's mainly cause I want to be here for the parties) but normally I watch maybe 1-2 hours a week... it's easy to avoid this c**p if you want...

(which, by the way, is a "song" that hopes the Germans crash out in case you hadn't noticed....) "Oooh, it's in Germany, let's dredge up the war, again for no particular good reason. Oh, how funny....." <_< And a few pizzerias making novelty pizzas??? Come on..... These are the extent of your objections.....?

June 22, 200619 yr Well... there's a few incidents of scots beating people up just for wearing an england shirt... even a 7 year old! http://www.thecourier.co.uk/output/2006/06...ry8469910t0.asp too bad we can't neuter these idiots...

Eugh that is HORRIBLE. A disabled man, dragged from his car and given a black eye and a seven year old punched in the head! :angry:

Those people are NEDs (Non Educated Delinquents), if it aint people in England shirts they beat up, it's Mosher kids or Goth kids who dress in black and "look weird".... <_< They dont need much of an excuse, they're scum, simple as.... And yes, they do give Scotland a bad name.... <_<

Stuff ten times worse than that gives England a bad name. -_-
June 22, 200619 yr yeah - they are called chavs! NEDs and CHAVs are the same thing mate.... :lol: :lol: Both vermin in need of extermination....
