Neil Lennon's got the strongest Northern Irish accent this side of Jim McDonald.

Most Scots I think are supporting England now. There's been a surge in support for the union, England and Scotland are after all Anglo-Saxon protestant brothers who have fought and died alongside each other in the same wars, I would be surprised if there wasn't any support.

A couple of guys in my local last night were wearing England shirts. One girl had a 'come On England' tee shirt on.

The list goes on but those are six obvious reasons for not supporting England which immediately spring to mind. There are players in the England team who I respect and admire - mainly Steven Gerrard - but the attitude of much of the English media, several of whom I have mentioned above is what I find vomit-inducing and the reason I am very much an 'Anyone But England' fan. |

To be fair though, I have spent most of my life living in the SE of England and all my friends are English

I still get confused why some people look at a country's media as a reason to dislike a sporting team. I see it in the cricket thread sometimes too with certain forum members feeling "England deserve to lose because of "###" said by the media", etc.
It doesn't make sense. It's never even occurred to me to consider thinking of another country's media as a factor in how I perceive their team. |

Most Scots are not supporting England in the World Cup, that is a fact. |

So that's a no then.
This thread is about Scottish people supporting England. Thomas007 said he thought most Scots were supporting England and I corrected his erroneous opinion. |

It doesn't make sense. It's never even occurred to me to consider thinking of another country's media as a factor in how I perceive their team. The English broadcasters are broadcasting to the entire United Kingdom and for that reason they should be providing more of an unbiased coverage of sporting events. I find the conduct of the specific people I mentioned in my previous post so deplorable that I very much want to see their country lose. It's schadenfreude I guess but not in a nasty way, I don't think wanting to see someone get what they deserve is a nasty kind of schadenfreude, we all want that surely? Also, most sporting teams' supporters hate their nearest local rivals and want to see them lose, I don't see why that should offend England fans so much. |
