Euros '24

Ah bless another SNAT Anglophobe whose team didn't progress in the competition so he wants to take it out on England instead of improving his own team.

Physician heal thyself.

genuinely vinny , what we want to know is whats wrong with England? Whats is wrang wae yese ?

All my life , and even further back , when scotland played England at sport , it was classed as the "auld enemy" playing each other . Im told this term goes back to the nineteenth century. When France and scotland played , this was referred to as "the auld alliance".

The auld enemy was in reference to scotland and England warring with each other for 1300 years , probably the oldest conflict on the European continent , and in the modern times , in sport , to refer to our ancient rivalry. Now im not aware of rivals anywhere who support each other in sport are you? Celtic fans dont support rangers in European competition , likewise Man City and Man Utd. 

So it's the norm to piss take , and not cheer on rivals. Thats generally accepted.

So why are the English snowflakes all upset in recent years about scotsmen piss taking ? The only thing I can think of is the events of the last twenty years regarding Scottish indy. 

The English appear to be having an identity crises , and completely becoming massively insecure. In the latter stages of the nineteenth century , the Westminster elite were quite happy for the various nations to set up their football associations , safe and secure in the knowledge England controlled a massive empire spanning a third of the globe. the Celtic colonies in these islands were firmly under the thumb , and the plebs sporting against each other in manly competition was to be encouraged in all areas.

 Fast forward to 2024 , and insecure people like you Vinny are screaming about abolishing the Scottish FA , English FA , leagues and competitions in terror .

 Nothing displays Englands great fall from being an imperial global power Vinny more than your mass insecurity and timid squeals about Scottish football.

check this monte. You can tell trump is truly Scottish ............. 

 

Vinny what is this Britain  you keep  talking about? Did they have a team in the euros?  

scotland were in the finals ......we weren't in "the final" , but like scotland , England didnt win anything.  


How did that imaginary country Britain get on?

Mine still says EU citizen on it.

Fair enough.

As you of course know, English teams have won plenty of trophies too, seeing as you've been alive longer than me and probably closely followed world football since you were a wee one. My interest in the game has been at best intermittent, although I have followed it on and off since I was a kid. You are a long-time committed Celtic fan I'm guessing.



There are plenty of things to rightly criticise England for and I agree with much of what you say when it comes to our history, the less pleasant facets of our culture (and the way England fans behave as well). I'm not endorsing what others here are saying about Scotland, the Scottish or anything like that, was simply ribbing in good nature.

But when it comes to the actual players in our football team under Southgate - we got to two finals - and our teams like Man U etc win plenty of trophies and are considered some of the best in the world, hence why we attract top talent

I read about Hibernian FC who started out as somewhat of a Catholic charity, that helps people and stuff. Nice sentiments behind those teams, if you are going to slag off Chelsea, Man U etc as being awash with money and corrupt in their own right, I probably won't disagree with you. That's why I pay little attention to most football leagues, I usually stick to watching older matches as I prefer them anyway

What!!!!!

You mean to tell me you  , the guy who wants to invade Russia , kill Putin , hates the European Union and is proudly British , doesn't even have a proper British passport because you are either too lazy or too tight to replace your eu citizen passport



  

 No one could ever accuse you Vinny of having the courage of your convictions.
