I hope Scotland progress about as much as the average Scottish fan hopes England progress.
I love the way this is constantly plugged as a one way street. Walking back from my lunchtime six pints from The Avenue half an hour ago (it’s on the coast road in Peacehaven) some driver spotted my shirt and took the trouble to slow down so his passenger could shout “Scottish bastard” at me. I took it as a compliment reallyI hope Scotland progress about as much as the average Scottish fan hopes England progress.
At least this comment is balanced! I was amused how when Wales reached the semis they were touted as “plucky” etc yet they PROPER hate the EnglishNo. Why ? They dislike us as much as we dislike the jocks. Lets hope they lose
I used to go to the "Welsh language evenings" with the university Welsh Society when I was in Bristol.No thanks,.. it's the tribal beauty of footy, you can wish all sorts of misfortune on your rivals/opponents without actually hating that particular country or it's countrymen.... ( .. I do however find it hard to love anything Welsh... but that could be born out of my 30 years of playing rugby here in the West Country... )
Is that the pub on the 'centre' just down from Corn St?.. reputedly the smallest pub in the city,.. although I think the Bridge Inn was smaller personally.I used to go to the "Welsh language evenings" with the university Welsh Society when I was in Bristol.
Now, maybe it helped that they held this at the pound a pint night at the White Harte, but I always found the Welsh entirely friendly and lovely company.
I dare say she thinks just as highly about you!I used to date a girl that was half Scottish. Couldn't work out which half. The top with the flame red hair and nasty attitude, or the bottom with a crack like a five day old haggis!
Ah well, happy memories of cheering on Ally Macleod’s Tartan Army in the Prince of Wales, Holmesdale Road, Reigate back in the day!Well yes, but even with a squad for the ages in 1978, managed to make an absolute mess of things.
Meanwhile almost every small nation you can think of have qualified from a group stage. Except Scotland.
It's got nil-nil written all over it.Let me think about this for several milliseconds...
same!Of course I do, I am a Scottish supporter.
By attacking intent do you mean launching the ball into the opposition box from anywhere in the pitch at any opportunity? At least England do actually try to play football, even if they’re not very good at it.If they played turgid football like Englland then no, but vs Switzerland they showed fight and attacking intent. I will be cheering them on tonight.
More attacking intent than England showed.By attacking intent do you mean launching the ball into the opposition box from anywhere in the pitch at any opportunity? At least England do actually try to play football, even if they’re not very good at it.
