I very much enjoyed the Scotland match last night, and switched to Wales from time to time. I am certain that most Hatters fans would have supported Scotland. My question is that if it had been England v Denmark what percentage of Scots would have been in the England camp. Sir Andy Murray would have done these days, a changed man, and now British with Scots heritage. Gordon Brown also.

Come on England

Having lived up here for 30 years...virtually nil wouldve liked England to win at anything !
...they've huge chips on their shoulders about us talking about 66 but they never stop with 67

I support them at nothing, only time I would would be if a close relative represented the country.

I never support Scotland. My old man told me that when England won the world cup, Denis Law was playing golf and he threw his clubs in a lake in disgust. Says it all.

The first bit is true. The lake bit is nonsense. Although if there had been mobile phones back then, who knows.
His annoyance was because he played in the 9-3 game in 1961.

He was also annoyed with his own teammates the year after the World Cup. Scotland beat England 3-2 at Wembley, but could have been a lot more if they hadn't been busy taking the piss.

Re: Scotland

Ok but there have definitely been Scottish people wearing Argentina shirts when they were playing England. No offence but I will be hoping Scotland crash and burn in the WC.

Re: Scotland

I think you would be surprised. Quite a lot are happy to cheer on England. Despite the best efforts of the Daily Record and the Scottish Sun.

The one thing that makes it harder is the commentary and pundits, who consistently talk about who they could meet in later rounds, before a ball has been kicked.

I was in Scotland 2002 when we played Denmark, I was amazed how many Scots were supporting Denmark, there were loads of little Danish flags all over the place.

I always support all the British teams and Eire .w

We should all try to get over the historic rivalries.
The English caused a lot of misery centuries ago but it has fuck all to do with those living now.

Re: Scotland

I married a lovely English lady and brought her home to Scotland. What she saw in me, I have no idea. But I miss her very much.

I am sorry for your loss.

At the end of the day people are people all over the world every nationality is the same ,you have good people and you have the not so good people.

Re: Scotland

Agreed Jake

Re: Scotland

My experience is that they mainly hated England because their press always lauded us and not them.

I was gutted tbh. I work with a few jocks and they cheer on anyone but ENGLAND, ABE as they put it. Even go as far as buying shirts and flags of the teams England are playing.
Yeah so fuck em I hope they get hammered in every game and are home before the postcards.

Yep.

Having lived north of the border for a while a few years ago, my impression is most of the skirt wearers don't like the English.

Re: Scotland

Genuinely don't know why you would feel that way. Of course there is a rivalry. It is two countries teams. Do you support QPR or Watford when they play elsewhere? No, of course you don't. But if Russia attacks tomorrow, "we" are a team.
Am slightly pished ,so I may not have written that well. But hopefully you see my point

It's not me feeling that way. It's what I saw with my own eyes.
They massively enjoy England getting beat any sport.

And then theres the annual lantern walk to the top of the hill near the border(where I lived) with a big party when they get there to celebrate the death of the English army hundreds of years ago. I gave that night a swerve, stayed home and watched Coronation Street.

Re: Scotland

Don't know the lantern walk. Dumfries direction ?

I’m still proud of my Scottish roots despite being born and brought up in Luton. It doesn’t mean I don’t want England to do well though.
I think we all know Scotland won’t have a chance in the finals whereas England will be among the favourites.

Re: Scotland

I've got Scottish roots as well, both parents and two oldest brothers are jocks. Still want them to get stuffed

Re: Scotland

I know you do. My old man used to call me a sassenach whenever England beat Scotland despite me wanting Scotland to win 😄

Re: Scotland

Our house was carnage when England played Scotland

Re: Scotland

I can imagine. 😄

Despite the scots view on us I have always welomed UK sides succeeding and watched them hoping they would do well.

Re: Scotland

So have I in Oxford about 5 or 6 years ago.

Re: Scotland

They played Carlisle Sands about 10 years ago

Really enjoyed them plus the little nationalist comment or two

Re: Scotland

Oddly, I have somehow missed every opportunity. But they are certainly known for getting the crowd hyped up.
