The Football.....

[Cirrus]

But you live in a in your mind utopia. Once the dust has settled and you find yourself without anything English to hate....and it starts peeing it down again(where's your donkey under a rain cloud avatar by the way?),it'll hit you that Scotland can only celebrate someone else's loss and not celebrate a victory of their own.

Lol... never underestimate the capacity for Scottish folk to dislike (hate's probably too strong a word) the English.

Are Scotland going to Qatar?

We might struggle to qualify, having only 5 points from 3 games. Long way to go. Our expectations are of course somewhat lower than the English public.
However, it might be timely to remind you that England haven't qualified yet either.
They're sitting on 9 points from 3 games, so it looks likely, but it's not a given. Unless you're English, of course.

Thankfully, my life doesn't revolve around football. Especially English football. But I'm milking this wonderful occasion for all it's worth. Sorry!

what you mean england havent qualified yet.....they have already won the World Cup in Qatar 2022, they just have to show up, thats how arrogant their fans are

thats how arrogant their fans are

It would probably aid your case if you could post a link to one of us here posting something arrogant.

I shall await with interest.

And that is what winds up most non English people, who then like to have a wee gloat when they fall. In return, they try to gloat over the fact that Scotland aren't great when it comes to football. Fortunately, we don't care that much. Too many other good things about Scotland for us to concern ourselves about our football team being a bit shite. Anyway I'm off into town; the place is buzzing today for some reason .

You remind me of a character in a video i often watch,when i think life couldn't get any worse. It's called 'Russia's Toughest Prisons'.


"Hello,my name is Oleg. I'm doing 100 years for murdering my friend because he came back with the wrong topping on my pizza". "You may think it's terrible being in a 10ft by 6ft cell 23 hours a day,where we aren't allowed to sit on our beds during daylight hours(summer must be a real bummer!), but in my mind i'm as free as a bird"! I go into a state of fantasy where i'm on a Caribbean island,drinking cocktails under a palm tree"!

The prison cell is Scotchland and that Caribbean island is England!!

As posted before, you either haven't read the words, or haven't understood them.

Allison, Firmino and Fabinho don't start, Brazil lose. Thiago doesn't start, Spain lose. Henderson doesn't start, England lose. Anyone see a pattern here?

I am not sure which tournament you were watching - Rice was considerably better than Henderson, things fell apart pretty much every time Henderson got subbed on.

the italians understood them and used them to win.........its not the song they were looking at but these words

" its coming home" total arrogance in what ever context you read them in. now you have to eat those words and suffer for more years of hurt.

and now they are defacing murials of england players, sending racial abuse online and videos coming out of english thugs beating up italian fans leaving wembley.......total disgrace

Can I just say me and three other lads got set upon by about 50 Walsall lads at Fellows Park.

Minority of tossers everywhere. But that must have been at least 30 years ago. Fans used to arrange scraps in those days. Bad times.

What's that you were saying about arrogance?
