Anti-English moaning makes us look like a pathetic and poisoned wee nation

I am 100% Scottish but I cringe with embarrassment when all the anti-English voices are heard in relation to the English football team. The Scots moan about the English arrogance especially concerning the English media… utter nonsense!

Why shouldn’t the English media cheer on their boys. The English may still talk of their World Cup win in 1966 but what would have happened if Scotland had won the World Cup then? Would we still be discussing it? Of course we would!




What about the Scottish media? Remember how arrogant our media was going back to World Cup Argentina 1978. Our media told the world that we were going to win the competition when we were probably one of the worst sides in the competition. Our hypocrisy is staggering!

The anti-English attitudes when England participate in sport makes me feel that we can have a pathetic poisoned “wee nation” syndrome on these occasions! Totally embarrassing. No wonder the English laugh at us and remind us that we “get battered” by everyone.
