To NOT support England ???

[Shaketherombooga]

I’m not English. I have lived in England for a very long time. I do not support the England football team, I frequently support their opposition!

Colleague has taken the England loss hard, and said ‘ I bet you’re glad they lost’ - I replied that I was essentially a neutral but thought Spain deserved the win.

Hes gone off in a big old rant about how if I live here I should be supporting England teams etc.
I think he should have a wee lie down and chill out!

YABU - you SHOULD support the team of a country you’ve made a life in - even if you are from a former colony of that country

YANBU - of course you don’t have to support a national team that’s not yours

It be nice if they gave Knighthoods to winners, but that obvs isn’t always the case anyway.

Two poster having a similar opinion is just that? sock puppets?? Seriously? That’s right up there with the @Rainbowsponge who’s been blethering on about everything being made up because someone has said some that they don’t like…

Oh hi OP, hoping to get this thread going again I see. Bored are you?

Had a chance to read through all of the thread which I hadn’t before. So if you’re not interested then feel free to pop off and do something else. FFS.

@Orangevlue - I suspect the thread was only started to try to accuse people of bigotry, then oops it dawned on the OP they'd shown themself to be a total bigot!!!

Oh and it's school holidays now so time on hands....

Given how anti English this forum can be, she was in with a pretty good chance!

But I don't think the discussion has gone quite to plan for her.

I can’t recall ever seeing any anti-English sentiment on this forum other than some lighthearted sports bantering.

What is it with some Irish people and determined they’re the hardest done by country ever?
Didn't Oscar Wilde call them "the cry babies of Europe"?

‘I can’t recall ever seeing any anti-English sentiment on this forum other than some lighthearted sports bantering.’
