Not just are they our neighbour and part of the same country but them doing well directly benefits us. You cannot try and find a direct link, especially between International and domestic football. We're hated by the majority of Club's in the land. So of course we won't back them circa 2012. But as a Club who identifies itself as British, of course a lot of our fans will back the British countries. I don't believe there's anything wrong with it. But there's definitely something wrong with trying to get our fans to back the tarriers. WATP-FOREVER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spliffy 643 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 3 lions is the guiltiest of pleasures... I wanted them to beat Sweden because Larsson, Mjalby, Lustig, Guidetti. If they play them or Ireland then I'll happily cheer on England. Maybe even Argentina... Hope the sons of Prso break their hearts though. Mon the Hrvatska!

Steakbake 403 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 England fans and players proudly sing my national anthem and have no problems with the Union Flag, [even if they fly the flag of St George more now,] so for those reasons i will be behind them.

Lived in England 25yrs. 90% positive reaction when folk find out I'm Rangers (10% are plastic paddy scum fucks). Since our treatment over admin and the rise of SNP I feel MUCH more comfortable supporting England than Scotland. Feels weird in some ways but we are much more in tune with England than Scotland in terms of our traditional British values. Scotland is barely recognisable to me now tbh.

It is the attitude towards SCOTLAND thanks to the SNP's anti-English petty rhetoric. It is totally understandable. You have to understand that the message coming from Scotland for the past 10+ years has been "fuck off England we don't want you". The SNP doesn't speak for me and presumably not for you so... take a pragmatic view mate. Garnock Blue and Tiger Shaw 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEFTONG 60,108 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Social media attracts all sorts of queerhawks and weirdos. On a personal level I've been treated extremely well by any English football fan I've spoken to since moving down here last September. Even more so when I tell them I'm a Rangers fan. I've supported England and Northern Ireland for years and if they do win it..(Belgium will though) I would be happy to see how much it would mean to the folk down here..

Lived here for 28 years and I can categorically state that I have been made welcome and treated brilliantly since the day I arrived here! Some people, clearly, think social media is real life. More a reflection on them than people who live in the real world. I only encountered one person in my 7 years in Scotland who had a problem with me being English and I only know one person who actively dislikes Scots because she was bullied for being English when she lived up there as a kid. Plenty of banter and mock insults hurled around amongst English Scots and Welsh at my work but thats all it is. A lot don't have a great opinion of Scottish football but neither do most Rangers fans I know. TEFTONG and Courtyard Bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
