it was so funny sarinka Grin

its not the players or the team that piss off us Scots, its the media going on and on about '66, or Beckhams metatarsal, or whatever shite they can come up with ....as ds says, they just cant face England ISN'T brilliant, at least we know the Scottish team are crap Grin

TheBogQueen · 20/06/2014 21:06

I watched the England 'highlights' set to 'sad music' and actually ended up laughing hysterically.

I mean FGS

ssd · 20/06/2014 21:07

alice, you must admit, Suarez is some player

ThursdayLast · 20/06/2014 21:07

They do go a bit ott with the 'sad music' don't they?

MaloryArcher · 20/06/2014 21:07

Exactly ssd.

The obnoxious sense of entitlement England seem to have because they managed to win the world cup once. Half a century ago.

It's baffling.

In Ireland supporting Anyone But England is practically a national pastime Grin .

PMSL at the poor delicate England fans thinking the thread should be pulled. Brilliant.

HappienessIsEggshaped · 20/06/2014 21:08

Talk about sore losers.

Fucking hell, I'm not a troll btw but feel free to report if you think so. Hoping that I die is much worse than starting a thread about a football game.

Oh how hard are you pm'ing me to call me a twat...

Costa Rica FTW :)

That was a bit funny.

Wishing death upon the OP was a tad extreme as well you have to admit.

MaloryArcher · 20/06/2014 21:08

We roared at that too BogQueen.

Pretty funny watching Rooney and his Frankenstein's monster hairline falling into the net in slow mo to some plaintive whiny ballad Grin .

ssd I live in Scotland and I tell you what gets on my tits, is that the Scots mistake media/advertising hype for England fans thinking England are brilliant and will steam roller everyone in the world cup.

Most England fans are realistic and knew they have no world class players and an early elimination was on the cards this time around.

ThursdayLast · 20/06/2014 21:10

Oh come on!
Sense of entitlement of the entire nation?!
England qualified, we competed, we lost.
Name of the game.

ThursdayLast · 20/06/2014 21:11

What compo said

YetAnotherHelenMumsnet · 20/06/2014 21:11

Er, hello...

I'm just having a proper look at this thread now, but in the meantime if we could seek to minimise the death threats and the personal attacks, that would be MUCH appreciated.

(Am loling at the bit where someone says the streets were filled with the sound of pizza scooters.)

HaroldLloyd · 20/06/2014 21:14

Not even a tiny death threat?

Boo.

ssd · 20/06/2014 21:14

compos, well the English fans obviously don't work in the media then

Oh I want to add, that I equally dislike the patronising English attitude of 'oh we will cheer for Scotland against any other team, why can't the chippy little Scots do the same.' I don't I want Scotland humiliated in every match they play.

In the interest of a healthy footballing rivalry I'd like to add:

'Get it right up you, we made it to the world cup. England might be shite, but they'll never be as shite as Scotland. Far from wanted your collection of plukey faced cloggers and sixth rate English players whose qualify cos their granny had a tunnochs teacake once, to leave the field wearing the cowering demenour of a whipped dog after yet ANOTHER failed attempt to make it to a major tournament.'
