    Nauseating tribalism directed at our nearest neighbours. Give it a rest - there's enough to contend with for everyone out there at the moment.

    Yes, terrible, given the way our neighbours love us and always wish us well when we are playing, isn't it?

    There's a surprise response I never expected.

    I mean, this is going to be the rare occasion where I agree with Castro. They'd be hoping we lose every game, there's no love lost there.


    I'm personally not bothered who wins either way, we do play the winners regardless though, and I think I'd rather play Scotland than Serbia because it's just a more interesting fixture.

    You think we should wish the Scots well? Why? I am sure your Canadian acquaintances always wish your neighbours well in all their endeavours.

    We're Englishmen, we want Scotland to lose - not many years ago I was with mates in a hotel bar in Kinlochleven watching England play a WC qualifier, it's safe to say the Scots are exactly the same; we eventually won the tie on a penalty shoot-out. Oh how we laughed and took the piss <laugh>:emoticon-0167-beer:

    As someone said at the time, they should have had the celebration after they had been not before. Ridiculous circuit of Hampden before they went like a lap of honour. Sitting at home listening to the Jocks singing "We want our money back" was most entertaining. Didn't make up for us not being there though.

    Football is tribal.

    Yes, on the day, may the best team win.
    May the best team win.
    My Canadian acquaintances in general don't have racist sentiments.

    Denis Law was playing golf when we won the World Cup as he wouldn't watch it. Broke his clubs when he heard we had won.

    Oh dear. The racist crap. Which different race do the Scots belong to then?

    May the best team win. Yeah, sure. I am always put out if City win and they haven't been the best team. Proper puts me off celebrating it.

    Come on tc, it's not racist to want your closest rivals to not win...

    I answered your postulation about my Canadian neighbours. Many Yanks are racist. Bugger all to do with Scots. Ask appropriate questions before you come to irrelevant conclusions.

    Always the comedian Denis. Also a tight fisted Scot - his clubs survived.

    Great.
    In my life I could never imagine seeing 2 recent ex- HCAFC players captaining England & Scotland national teams at the same time. Bit of history in the making.
