[Football] Do you want Scotland to progress?

[Bozza]

Well, do you?

 

[Flounce]

Yes, I think it’s the first time I have ever backed Scotland at any sport too. Closest I’ve come before is when CMS played for them but I never had the same affection for him that I have for WBG

 

[Guinness Boy]

Nope.

Traditional glorious failure and Billy back early in one piece please.

 

[Eeyore]

Yes, I always want them to do well. And I always jest when they don't. Best of both worlds.

 

[WATFORD zero]

For wee Billy, Mrs Wz, my half scottish children and possibly even, at a very tentative, long, not very well thought out stretch, THPP

 

[Chicken Run]

Nope.

Traditional glorious failure and Billy back early in one piece please.

This

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Yes, it's like care in the community, they need something

 

[Flounce]

Nope.

Traditional glorious failure and Billy back early in one piece please.

I think you’ll find that “Glorious Failure” is a patented England phrase and we are long time World record holders at it!

 

[Invicta]

Yes, definitely

 

[Krafty]

100% no.

Objectively, it's funnier when England do badly and when Scotland do better than England.

Therefore, for comedy reasons, I'm always keener for England to crash out in vainglorious style than I am Scotland.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Let me think about this for several milliseconds...

 

[drew]

No. I don't think the fact that one Brighton player playing for Scotland is reason enough to wipe out a lifetime of hoping (and generally seeing) them fail. WBG is our player but he probably won't be for the whole of his remaining career.

If a Celtic player was in the England team, does anyone think their fans would be keen to see England succeed?

 

[BN41Albion]

Why not, not got a grudge against the scotch and always had a great time when I've been up that way

 

[MJsGhost]

Yes, because it would be a significant moment in their history.

A bit like a monkey finally knocking out the opening scene to Romeo and Juliet on a typewriter.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Yes of course and once they have dumped the SNP I'm sure they will be able to.
Oh the football? O no, sod 'em.

 

[nickbrighton]

i always want the home nations to do well, although id rather England do better than the others.
I dont understand the ABE attitude that it seems most scottish fans seem to have but whilst i will take the piss when Scotland fail this evening, I would like them to win

 

[Eric the meek]

Just about, if only for THPP and WBG, but other than that, I don't really care.

With a population of 5.5m, the bottom line is that they will always find it hard to progress.
Never say never though. Denmark, with a similar population, won it in 1992....

 

[Hugo Rune]

Yes. Anything to make our Wee Billy happy. His value is also surely rocketing as pundit after pundit identifies him as the player that makes Scotland tick.

I’ve absolutely loved the comparisons and juxtapositions with Rice who stands on the centre backs feet (for England) and like a magnet, pulls the whole team back towards Pickford. In stark contrast, Wee Billy consistently drives Scotland (and us) forward. The whole team shape moves up when he drives up the pitch with or without the ball. He is brilliant at it.

 

[essbee1]

Only because I dislike Hungary (well that **** Orban) more.
