Default Political correctness up north.
Good to see that Scottish police are so sensitive to English sensibilities

I like the Scottish. Why?

Because every time I feel down, I just think to myself, "Could be worse, could be Scottish". Cheer myself no end.

When was the last time the Jockenese qualified for a world cup or european championship?
I seem to remember it was many years ago and i'm sure it was tainted by some drug issue.
Anyway, if they did qualify in the future i would watch them and i would want them to do well, that is the difference between them and me as an Englishman and football fan.

No doubt many on here will take the whole thing waaaay to seriously, but I think that T shirt is a laugh

Got a Slanj near my office - may go and pick one up tomorrow

Joking aside, I think it is a bit of harmless fun. It really is getting beyond a joke now.
I am English and that t shirt amused me, certainly did not offend. I asked my Son, who is mad on football and he laughed too.
We really need to get a grip of all this PC nonsense and start to ignore it

No, its not. They wear the Northern Ireland colours, or more often than not its the Northern Irish flag

Which, to be fair, is equally fecking pathetic, just as it is equally fecking pathetic that loads of Celtic fans wear the Southern Irish Tricoulour.

Just to add balance to the point
