A recent survey in the Daily Record revealed that up to 6 in 10 Scots will support the 'Auld Enemy' in Portugal this summer. Not me I have to say, I don't hate England, I'd just prefer if somebody else won! But now I'm not sure who to support. Any ideas?
Im dubious, a teletext poll screamed that scots are supporting england, turns out "less than one third" scots were supporting england. Me im behind sweden as always
That Record Poll was ****************, I won't be supporting England. I'll probably wait until the start of the tournament to decide who I want to win. If France get their arse in gear, they can play some devastating stuff and I would like to see them do well. Spain, Portugal or Holland are also very good footballing sides.
If you want to find out who you should be supporting as your 2nd team at Euro 2004 try http://www.whatthefaro.com/ Apparently I'm a German supporter . I'll be working on my mullet and tache between now and the 12th . I am looking foward to beating England in Penalties .
I'm torn between England and France. I love many French players, but the same can be said for the English, plus I have some English ancestors. What to do? What to do?
I would like to see the Czech Republic win it, and I honestly believe they can. Don't really care who wins it, ultimately, but Northern Ireland are my tip for the 2006 World Cup...
6 In 10 will support England. Not bloody likely!! In all my years as an England fan I have yet to actually meet one Scot that supports England in any way shape or form. In fact I find that Scots tend to support two teams, Scotland & anyone playing England.
I actually know 3 Scots who support England, all Rangers fans surprise surprise! I won't be supporting England, they are the auld enemy, and I don't know about anyone else but I certainly don't support my rivals! There's no way i'd ever support the Paisley scum and there's no way i'd support England! It's the way it should be!
I wasn`t actually saying that there was anything wrong with Scots not supporting us I take it as a given now. I was just making the point how laughable the polls findings are. Would I support Scotland? Personally no but I do know alot of English do tend to give their support to the home nations alot quicker than the home nations give to England. Again I see no wrong in that it`s just the way it is & when people are willing us to lose it just makes it all the more sweeter when we win. Football rivalry you gotta love it!
There should be a healthy Rivalry between England and Scotland. There is a lot of History in it! I do know quite a few folk down here who do support Scotland when they are playing. I actually found it very surprising being in the pub, surround by English folk all cheering on Scotland!
I've still to meet a Rangers fan who supports England. There is only one scum in that part of the World and thats Morton! The Paisley Panda is a hero of mine!
I would doubt if they actually "supported" England in the true sense of the word, but many Rangers fans see no harm in hoping that the all four home nations perform well. I remember Ronnie Esplin wrote an excellent article in FourFourTwo about the make-up of the Tartan Army, and how both Rangers and Celtic fans were turning their back on the Scottish national team and that they do not receive much encouragement to return to the fold. Definitely worth looking out.
I'll see 3 of them tonight, i met loads of them, it's just a reaction to the celtic-ireland thing, it's all very annoying! The paisley panda is a laugh, and another good reason to hate st. midden. I'm lookin forward to winning the renfrewshire cup final again on 24th july
I would also say that it's a reaction to the positively hostile reception Rangers fans receive from those happy-go-lucky media favourites, the Tartan Army. I was at the official opening of the rennovated Hamden Park back in 1999/2000, for the Scotland vs France match. Some sort of penalty compeition for kids was taking place at half-time. One youngster stepped up to take his kick, the stadium announcer informed the crowd that the boy was a Rangers fan, and the majority started booing him!! Not exactly gonna win over many Rangers supporters with behaviour like that.
That would be the Celtic fans booing him! There are some among the 'tartan army' who would boo anything to do with the old firm but rightly so! They deseve it with their behaviour and don't try to tell me fellow fans could possibly put you off if you loved your country! At Scotland games the celtic fans boo anything rangers and the rangers fans boo anything celtic!
If Celtic manage to go on a streak of winning like Rangers did (i doubt it) you will find everyone will hate them as well. Jealousy. Just look at Man U. Everybody hates them.
