To be honest it started to go wrong at post #10.

For the record, I never appreciated the hatred that some Scots have for the English until England got beaten by Brazil in 2002 and a sweaty mate sent a message of schadenfreude to all the English in his address book. Since then I'll gladly support anyone playing against the Scots.

Sweeping generalisation if I ever saw one. And just because a scot doesn't want the english team to win doesn't mean they hate the english as a nation. Why do people fail to see this???

Think Liverpool/Everton. Each one will quite happily watch the other get rodgered.

Blimey guys, it's ONLY FOOTBALL, bring back the morris dancers

Scots are all ginger drunks, Welsh are sheep ******** inbreeds, Paddy's are spud munching thicko's, English are xenophobic football thugs, Jerseymen are crapauds, slimey and can't be trusted and Guernseymen are stubborn, so tight fisted they make the Scots look profligate, and rude to other nationalities.

Oooops, forgot Manxmen.....ahhhhmmmmm, ginger, sheepshagging thicko's. Well, they are located between Wales, Scotland and Ireland!

The trouble with generalisations are that they exactly that, my Scots born colleague would never dream of supporting his home nation, simply because they are so bad, so he supports England.

There, that should of offended everyone equally, including my own nationality, so can we get back to some fun, why not checkout the boobies thread, or the alternative one for the ladies.

Personally I can't be bothered to get worked up about it. If he does well next year at Wimbledon I will be glad to see it and in the same way I would be glad to see a Scttish team do well in the World Cup especially if the English team had done their usual.

Life is too short to get wound up and if England can't win, Britain will do nicely instead.

Whatever. I expect the main difference between us is that I really don't care what you think. That and the fact I tan rather than burn



Les - I used to think the same as you until I got the mass mailing from a Scottish mate and realised that most of them think like that!

So what made you realise MOST of us thought like that?? Yet ANOTHER generalisation from Suresh.

Have you spoken to the 6.5 million scottish people and asked whether or not they think like that?

No, I didn't think you had.

I didn't have to.

Britain wants UK break up, poll shows - Telegraph
In the sporting arena, 70 per cent of English people said they would support a Scottish team playing football or rugby against a nation other than England. But, when the question was put to Scots, only 48 per cent said they would back England with 34 per cent supporting their opponents, no matter which country it was.

I bet if that poll was taken before devolution 95%+ of English would have supported a Scottish team. Expect the 70% to plummit with each idiotic outburst in a public area from some Scottish sportsman.

I've yet to hear of anyone English, let alone someone famous, saying they'd support anyone Scotland were against.

Hardly the whole of Scotland, is it?

How many people took part in the poll? Was it a telephone survey (because we all know everyone just loves doing those!)? Do you honestly think it is a fair representation of Scotland's opinion? I don't recall ever being asked to take part in such a survey.

Everyone I know backs England in the Ashes, including me. The rugby. And even some the football. You come across an intelligent and reasonable bloke the rest of the time - I can't believe you're basing your views on a whole nation on the actions of 1 arsehole.

And I hope you're not forgetting the legend that is Mr Colin McRae. Possibly a reason why most of you are here.
