BridgeIsBlue 66,655 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Now we all know every time an international tournament comes around there are lots of people across the land who want England to fail at every twist and turn,and fall flat on their faces,I include myself in this group purely for footballing reasons you understand. Now there has been a rather unfair picture that's been painted regarding Rangers fans as followers of the English national team,and there's a certain group of people out there who have said for years,"how can Rangers support England when their Scottish"etc,yet they themselves will blindly pull on an Eire top because "muh great granny was Oirish".Do any of you know people like this? Sad to say it but I certainly know a few dimwits,but they do provide hilarity from time to time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gers1690 194 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 My great grandmother was Irish too - but I like to believe Ireland was a very different place back then - not a terrorist haven like it is now. I'm deeply ashamed of my Irish roots because of what Ireland stands for in the 21st Century and what it stood for in the 20th Century ie Terrorism and death to anything English or British.

Thewhitesettler 2,712 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 A line from one of the commentators talking about the group England are in was " I think that it's terrible that 3 world cup winners have been drawn in the same group" WTF?
