[QUOTE="scotscheese, post: 780819, member: 9400"] i have never stated i hate the English football team Bill, and i don't hate them or English people. what i do hate is the way the media can make everything about England, and how at every tournament finals they turn into liverpool fans thinking it's their year again. the build up to this tournament wasn't as bad as normal as it looked like they were being a bit more realistic regarding Englands chances, but as soon as the Panama game was over all of a sudden England were the best team in the world. and now they're being treated as if they were all conquering heroes, where as i think they got to the place where i thought they would at the beginning or the tournament. as for it getting up our noses or being jealous, i don't think this is quite as much the case as most English people think it is. since i got old enough to follow football we qualified for 3 out of 5 tournaments between 1990-1998(france 98 being the last finals we qualified for), so it's not like we were like wales in the case of how often we qualified, but the last 20 years have shown just how bad scottish football has been run and funded(our TV deal is currently worth 1.1% of the EPL). some of these qualy campaigns have been "glorious failures" but have mostly been pish from us, and after how close we got to qualifying for france 16, i fully expected us to manage to qualify for Russia, but again we let ourselves down. Fly your flag, you should be able to without any fear of "offence", if anyone is offended by you flying your flag, then they're the ones with the problem, i've seen cars up here flying the english flag with no issues.
