Gers1690 194 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Are there any other countries in the world who's fans support their rivals because of this? It just seems really odd. Never really hear of people supporting Wales or NI, or their fans supporting Scotland for that matter.I don't mind England at all but I don't support them. It sometimes seems like an excuse these days for Scottish Rangers fans to Support England. Even seen people going as far as buying England strips and everything! You'd be surprised about how many English people support NI; Scotland and Wales. I remember when Scotland played Italy in the 2008 World Cup qualifiers where they could have qualified, and in my pub everyone was gutted Scotland failed to make it. Unfortunately, England fans also tend to support the Republic too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueshoff 12,020 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 English Rangers supporter, but hate the hype in the press/media down here before a major tournament.Expectation seems unusually understated for Brazil though, which is a welcome change from the usual 'Go on and win it boys' pish.Hope they do well but not overly bothered if they dont!Couldn't have put that bdtter myself!!

harlands plater 17,065 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 England won't get out the group, the Azzurri will give them a footballing lesson. Again.And not just those African guys, Italy will beat them as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveheartGordon 77 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 We fully enjoyed watching Scotland not qualifying for the World Cup OP made this thread to have a pop at Scotland fans, actually don't really care how they do but just thought he might have more important things to worry about than Scotland fans, like you know....the world cup? Hear this all the time from England fans that say stuff like ''I like to see Scotland doing well'' in a wee brother type of fashion, and how Scots hate England, then get really wound up by a bit of banter.I know very few scots that dislike English people, but I know plenty that get annoyed enough by the media storm and general arrogance from the media before major tournaments (doesn't seem as bad this year).I know staunch ''British bulldog'' unionists from Scotland that prefer to see England beat because of this attitude they seem to bring.

CottonRunt 978 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 To be honest i feel i have a lot more in common with most English people compared to a lot of Scots these days.Between the tims and the rampant yes voters (dont mind who or what you vote for, but dont fucking plaster it everyone and try to convert people) i dont feel my ideals are compatable with most Scottish people.
