To be fed up of the build up to the Rugby World Cup Final

[derxa]

It's on the news fair enough. But does it need to be so biased. I'm Scottish and I know we're out but bleeeeeeegh

Watching TV is an entirely optional activity.

YABVU! It’s brilliant, why shouldn’t we enjoy it?

If it were Scotland it would have loads of coverage too.

If Scotland were in the final I would be equally hyped - and would hope (and believe) the coverage would be the same for any home nation.
I am pretty jealous of the people I know who have flown over to Tokyo though, so I can join you in your breakfast of sour grapes tomorrow.

I am pretty jealous of the people I know who have flown over to Tokyo though Even I would support England if I was at the match itself

See derxa you're coming round to the idea!

if Scotland were in the final, Naga Muchetty, Dan whatisface, Ben Shepherd et al wouldn't be blethering on about it and talking about 'us' doing well.

Presumably because they aren't Scottish.

Presumably because they aren't Scottish. Aren't they supposed to be impartial?

No idea. I bet a Scottish newsreader/pundit would say the same if it were Scotland though. But I guess we won't find out 😉

Scots are so, so bitter about the English.

TBH, I'd have the same level of enthusiasm for the rugby if Scotland or Wales (or Northern Ireland... do they play?) were in the final. ie not a lot but a vague sense of being pleased that a "home" country was in it.

Aren't they supposed to be impartial

No. Scots are really patriotic and it's great. But the moment the English are, the Celts are up in arms.

I love Scots, Scotland etc but their attitude toward the English does my head in. I live in England but am born and bred elsewhere, so am fairly objective.

I'm Scottish too and wouldn't really care if Scotland were in the final either!

At least Clive Tyldesley won't be commentating!!

Oh just ignore it if you don’t like it. Why do people always have to s* on others fun. It’s so tedious.

When Scotland got further than any other home nation in 2015 we were all behind them. It’s a shame it never goes the other way when England are doing well.

And the fanfare around tomorrow’s final pales into insignificance compared with how it would be if we ever got as far in the football World Cup. That really would be ridiculous.

COME ON ENGLAND!!! 🌹

"Scots are so, so bitter about the English."

Surprised it took till page 2 for this old shite to start.

Is it "old shite"? It seems to be generally true.

I’m Welsh and cried last Sunday.

But COME ON ENGLAND! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

OP, what do you mean by 'does it have to be so bias'? I don't understand?

I'm South African and I live in England...can you route for both teams?

My FB is full of posts supporting both teams as I have friends in both countries. I love rugby, the only fighting is on the pitch, and never in the stands...unlike football

No idea. I bet a Scottish newsreader/pundit would say the same if it were Scotland though. But I guess we won't find out
So very true

Of course they want England to win! I would love England to win tomorrow. I really wanted Wales to win today and if it were Scotland playing tomorrow I'd want them to win too!

If it were Scotland playing England, I'd prefer England to win, but tbh I'd be happy either way.

At least Clive Tyldesley won't be commentating!! Wrong game surely

Surprised it took till page 2 for this old shite to start

You seem to alluding to the fact that I may be wrong. Which I am not.

Although it's fighting over a ball with rules

Tsk - laws (not 'rules')

@derxa yes I know! At least it's rugby so he won't be commentating! Can't stand him!
