    At a minimum, have to be happy for Robbo. Anyone know of any ex-City player in the finals of a major competition like this ?
    And 'Arry mebbee. And Marshall mebbee.

    Marshall wasn't amazing for us, but he was never as bad as a lot of people made out.

    He was one in a long line of players who was made into a scapegoat.

    I've mentioned it before but our fans seem to need to have one player who always gets the hate not matter what, and Marshall was that for a while.

    Don't recall the Jocks saying that in the 1970s when we weren't qualifying for World Cups and they were.

    I don't support England internationally, so why would I be arsed? I wish them the best, naturally, but I don't support them.

    People in the pub would say why the **** does someone think we should wish the Jocks to do well?
    I tried to get on with the natives when I was doing missionary work in the West Riding but gave up.

    True. Of course, there was the Ozzie lad who played in the World Cup.

    You don't support England internationally? What is that supposed to mean? You only support then when they play themselves?

    The football fans I know from other nations massively back their national team, especially the Americans I work with

    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.

    Not very convincing is it ? You were never given a sniff, let's be honest.
    How do you get on with your neighbours or the peasants in the next street ?

    Wait, was I the only person here who knew Toast supported Faroe Islands?

    It's definitely come up a few times before.

    To be fair, we all accuse footballers at all professional levels of not giving a ****. It was refreshing to see their emotion after the game.
