Come On The Pride!

hi people..

excuse me for being off the level here…but i don’t really know what he argument is all about.
i don’t know what the big fuss is all about between the Scots..and the British.?????

i don’t follow any “team” in particular, i just like the game.
(and no…i still don’t know what the off side rule is.. :lol: :lol: )

when i was growing up, the world cup was always about the “best” team. you know..the team that was best at playing football…
every body enjoyed the game,

now it seems its all about gloating.
its gone nasty now.

i know for a fact there were lots and lots of Irish people that would cheer on different teams in the world cup, but now its all nasty..and they wont admit that another team is good at the game.

the fans seem to have taken over and made it nasty.

i know there is a lot of banter going on here between the Scot’s and the British.

im not making shyte for anybody…but everybody that has been slagging the English team,,,,well that’s just carrying on with the nastiness…

as much as you hate it..

the English are a good strong team. they have the potential to be the best in the world.

Germany are good,,,but they are too obsessed with winning the game.

just watch England and Germany play…..England are playing because they love the game,,,,,(with the exception of David B…he wants to win win win.)…..Germany….they feck themselves up because they are too obsessed with winning.

sorry..that’s my rant over for the day :lol: :lol:

Ah, but that’s just the thing, Mary, most of the English would support Scotland (or Wales or Ireland) if the situation was reversed – without a second thought. Most English are just baffled it doesn’t work t’other way ’round.

Call me naive or stupid, but up until the year 2000 I would have supported Scotland, had they qualified and England hadn’t. Or even if England were knocked out by Scotland, I’d still have supported Scotland (naturally).

Unfortunately I was in a bar in Egypt, watching England lose to Romania with a bunch of Jocks.

It sickened me to hear them cheer when Romania scored.
They shut up when they saw the look I gave them.

Don’t talk to me about friendly banter! :evil:

That was one of the great moments Owen. If I remember correctly Phil Neville pulled down the Romania player for a penalty with a few minutes to go thus sending England home. :D It then went back to the studio to show Gary Lineker’s face. :D

All kidding aside guys if the English commentators and to a certain degree the English fans could find a little humility then I wouldent want them to lose. I could never cheer England on, but I wouldent want them to lose if they didnt have the (misplaced) arrogance.

Anyway’s cmon Trinidad and Tobago!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

i know..im was just making a point..thats all..

a very bad one i know….but at least i tried.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am with Pikey… you scots know nothing but what the scotman writes about the english. When I am in Spain or anywhere in europe for that matter, i listen to what the locals say, they talk of the few that spoil it for everyone else, nothing about the english people as a whole.
It is ok for everyone else to have faith in their team but the english. Weird huh?

I know that we in England love any of the british Isles to win but as Owen stated, it isn’t quite the same story from the Scots, Irish or the Welsh.

You stand proud, why can’t we?

“I know that we in England love any of the British Isles to win”. =;

A good percentage of England fans dont want Scotland to win either. Most of them have a quiet chuckle when we fall to the latest minnow team who’ve managed to embarass Scotland.
