I had a night out in Glasgow in 1999, the night before we played Scotland at Wembley. It seemed like every single person in Glasgow was wearing a kilt and ginger wig and chanting '**** the 'English'. I was with a mate from Basildon, we spent the entire night pretending we were Dutch.

And who can forget the billboards during the 2002 World Cup, 'Support Sven's Team' ahead of the Sweden game and 'Och Aye Kanu' ahead of the Nigeria game.

Split in our family tonight. Wife cheering for Scotland to go through, me cheering for Scotland not to go through.

"But why would you want Serbia to win?"

"Because they're not Scotland"

that reflects their attitude to england, so fair play.
 
I once had a new client in Scotland. The day before I was driving up to see her she called to warn me to take anything that mentioned England off the car. This included the number plates which had the name and address of the car dealer, which obviously mentioned the English town I bought the car from. She also mentioned not to speak to anyone and come straight to the door. When I got up there the amount of anti-English graffiti was astounding. This was during the 2006 World Cup. I’m glad Scotland have qualified so we have the pleasure of knocking the ****ers out when we beat them. They should have a Scottish independent vote in England. I know how I would vote

I sometimes wonder what the result would be if England had an independence vote....A massive yes vote I would think and who could blame them???

As in, I follow the Faroe Islands internationally because of my family. Obviously we're **** and never qualify for anything, beating the likes of Estonia feels like lifting the world cup when a team of fishermen, policemen and an accountant win a game. But, it is what it is.

Were you born in the Faroe Islands? Were your parents?

You want to stick to hackneyed cliches about racism. Maybe you should lecture your Canadian acquaintances about their treatment of the indigenous population.

Perhaps you don't read English too well ? Non of my acquaintances are racist. Get with the logic flow, desist with the diversionary tactics.

ROI where clearly not interested and England at half speed .
The Nations league is prob the best thing that has come from UEFA IN a quarter of a century .
It stops the stupid friendly matches

None of mine are. Though the sort of idiots who consider people who don't want Scotland to win a football match might think they are.

Nope, grandparents and it was my grandfather who started taking me to City so he was my footballing influence.
I’ve been back a few times, it’s simply breathtaking, if not a bit of a pisser to get to.
