Whether they stand or not... its quite clearly getting you all flustered which i have to admit gives me quite a bit of satisfaction you could call it payback i suppose.

My whole point is that no one is right or wrong - we're just different. Nothing will change that. I for one don't want independence - fecking halfwits would make a worse job of it than Blair does, and thats saying something.
To be honest, I recon there is as much anti scottish feeling amongst certain of the English as there is anti english feeling amongst certain of the Scots. That is, those who really do harbour a hard line hatred for whatever reason.
But it has become a national pastime to support anyone but England at Football. (note - only Football).
Although I agree that supporting Argentina was well out of order.

Agree with most of that, but i *would* say, (even though you could file it under "Well, you would say that, wouldn't you"), is that the anti-Scottish element is responding *to* the anti-English sentiment of the Scots who display it. We like the Scots, we really do, but when you have your supposed neighbour blatantly supporting the opposition, it sorta rankles. We ain't gonna change diddly squat though, are we?!

I'd love to see the day when Scotland qualify and England don't. I will accept your abuse willingly!

Nope, we're not.
And yes, you wouldsay that, wouldn't you
I can see how it wrankles though, but then England are the opposition, or "the auld enemy", so to speak.
Maybe it goes against the grain to support a team that beats us on a regular basis

Patriotic my **** - I was in a pub in Glasgow a couple of years back when there was a double header of Rugby Internationals - England France followed by Scotland Ireland. The English beat France and about 80% of the Patriotic scots fcuked off home in a huff - leaving the English fans (and the Scottish Rugby fans) to stay on to cheer on the Scots (and get pissed together).
I couldn't believe what I was seeing at the time - Very sad reflection on a nation I felt

Don't feel bad, there is no offence intended. I too made the mistake of thinking whisky was a variant of whiskey; I was politely corrected by an Englishman and felt like a proper tit.
Just so you know.
