It is truly hard to be absolutely 100% behind them . The show was nauseam all day . Made you ill listening to the complete arrogance and shite they come out with . And it's only the quarter finals From analysing every one of the players to death and who took the most amazing penalties etc etc etc yawn yawn yawn The conclusion was . These players deserve to win the World Cup .... Made me wonder what everyone would have been saying if they lost the penalty kick shoot out All English based stations have been at it all day now, FFS Three Lions is now number 1 again!! More pissed off about those smug twats Skinner and Baddiel getting another pay day. Colombia were awful, and very negative - they basically couldnt cope with the loss of Rodriguez and so set out with that disgrace of a performance. Edit: Waddle on R5 is now saying that Colombia should be banned for the next world cup!!! I give up - this morning I was thinking fair play to England, now I really want to see them get binned out on penalties against Sweden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not buying that . It is not quirks . It's sheer hysteria And having been to many hundreds of Scotland games . I can never recall us ever being the way they are Including 1978 campaign . Been a very long time since I gave a fuck about our national side though tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd Flute 14,036 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I get what deejay and Loyaleast are saying, yes, sometimes the English commentators and media go over the top, and it is off putting, but then if it was Scotland, our media would be biased as fuck,and quite rightly, as for arrogance, remember 78, we had a victory parade before we even flew to fuckin Argentina!!!!! ???

Been a very long time since I gave a fuck about our national side though tbh It's the usual non football fans that turn up every 4 years to the pubs and fan zones, that bring the hysterical on. They are definitely getting whipped up by the press and media - wait and see when they go out ; Southgate will be getting it tight and no doubt some moniker from The Sun will be given to him - eg "The waster in the waistcoat" 2nd Flute and eejay the dj 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite there yet THL, but I know exactly were you are coming from. It's as if they never had anyone diving to win a penalty and then apologise .

Loyaleastend 3,260 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I think Sweden will give them a right fucking game of it, and I wouldn't be too confident of an England win, based on last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 13,977 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 When I was younger Scotland and England were genuine rivals. I don't see anything wrong with wanting your rivals pumped. Now I realise there isn't any kind of genuine footballing rivalry now, but that doesn't mean I now have to want England to win just because they're also British.

Totally agree with you, Sweden are a tough to beat side, very stodgy in defence. England really didn't look at all threatening in the box last night.

Now I realise there isn't any kind of genuine footballing rivalry now, but that doesn't mean I now have to want England to win just because they're also British. I still support Scotland, but it is more of a historical legacy for me thesedays - brought up in the 80s and 90s when the team was loaded with Rangers players - little of the bitterness that our players/fans get thrown at us now. I like international football, so follow Scotland as I can't change teams. I have no ill will to the England side at all, but as per usual their ridiculous press ruin it for non English fans. They simply cannot help themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

England have got a decent chance of winning (Defo better than Scotland's anyway) I live in England and most English people downplay their chances and the media wouldn't be doing it's job if it wasn't promoting their chances.
