We've grown up now and like myself, you probably couldn't give two hoots and possibly never really have. The neds who insist on beating folk up for wearing England shirts should realise that you don't have to carry a poke of chips on your shoulder just to be passionate about your country. Or maybe they're just pissed off they're better at football than us?

We can't be that crap. Least our houses are retaining their value. Maybe we should be thanking the English for burning the old ones and making us start new!!

YouTube - Trainspotting (1996) - "It's ****e being Scottish!"

And for those of you who can't watch at work.....

'It's SH*TE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the f**king Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just *******. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by *******. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete ********. It's a SH*TE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any f**king difference!'

Very true. I've been an import up here for many years now. When watching euro/world cup, a scot in a crotia shirt made sure to come and sit next to me in my england shirt.

I got some light-hearted "Booo's" when i walked to shop in my england shirt during the last world cup. Just banter. As was my reply about still being in the competition.

Perhaps the reason for it is that some people probably think of the whole of the UK as England, rather than remembering that it is actually a nation made up of different countries.

I don't give two hoots if a Scots lad doesn't want to support the English team, he can support whomever he likes, and I'd expect him to support his own countries team first anyway, plus if they go out, I'd not expect loyalties to switch to the English team.

Is there a similar situation with Rugby, or is this only applicable to Football? I've not followed Rugby for years, but when I did, I don't recall going to a pub to cheer on France giving the Scots a good pasting because England has been knocked out.

It's all about 1966..... that glorious day in history when we "England" held the World Cup above our heads with pride!

Them ginger haired goat ******** from North of the boarder and their "William Wallace" haircuts HATE the fact that we ARE superior, our wimmins are better looking and that the Romans thought they smelled so much they even built a ****-off wall to keep 'em out

Stick yer deep fried Mars bar where the sun don't shine....

And she was from Edinbrugh, which as was pointed out earlier, makes her English. And before you ask, she was blonde, not a ginga. And, no. I don't have any pictures.

As I've explained my reasoning, will you let me off, or do I have to go and find a much more attractive English girl to go out with to even things out?

I've not (knowingly and diliberately) insulted you.

Yet

If it's any consolation, you're the second most attractive Scottish girl I've ever known
