Aibu thinking Scots shouldn't be wanting Argentina to win against England?

It's getting beyond banter now imo.

I know plenty of Scots agree with me.

I'm half Scottish (dad) so always support both. In the past I'd probably want Scotland to win if it was them against England to be honest. Although now because of the Argentina support I'm going off supporting Scotland.

I desperately want England to win this one more than against any other team.

It was but on another thread. It is the Union flag with the Saltire being set on fire, sill as long as England don't win who cares eh??

It wasn’t. You seem extremely angry about a football match.

they can support whoever they want, just because they're neighbours doesnt mean that they have to support england.

my Polish cousins never support Germany in Sport!

Considering the sheer amount of anti Scottish posts from you, you’re not doing a great job showing how much you don’t care. 🤣

Says the poster who has posted regularly on this thread and others all about your irritations with the England team and the English.

You seem like you possess obdurate cloth ears, unsure why.

Definitely not angry, looking forward to England playing in the semi finals so why would I be angry 😂

btw I never want to hear 'its coming home' again. I hear it after every match for hours. I dont even live right beside a pub. But they walk past my flat after leaving the pub

It's all very childish. I couldn't imagine supporting anyone playing against Germany just because of the war. So I don't really get the childishness of supporting anyone against the English.

It's just football and it says more about anyone who is vehemently against the English. It's just weird

I couldn't imagine caring what people outside my country felt about my football team. It's irrelevant.

Yes, "completely irrelevant", that's why there are no fewer than 4 or 5 concurrent threads on here, all full of English people losing their shit repeatedly, desperately proclaiming how much they don't care.

Keep it coming, best laugh in years.

’Best laugh in years’.

Really?! You must be easily amused!

I am just seeing petty digs and childish comments like yours from both sides.

Did he? So it went into the SNP bank account rather than the Govt one? Huge, if true.

He didn’t put any money in. He just took out

Nadilla was supporting Norway.
She must have been a hoot with laughing.

Honestly, your posts are a bin fire. I won’t reply again.

Me? I didn’t support Norway! I liked them though, and would have been fine with them winning.

I mean, not sure why it's relevant to football, but tens of billions of UK tax money has been handed to terrorists, criminals and hostile states. You might be on to something if Westminster wasn't as corrupt as it is and as inept as it has been.

From the Scottish budget? How did he manage that considering he wasn’t a member of the Scottish Parliament?

Absolutely not. England were lucky to win. It could have very easily have gone the other way.

Course it could just like any match!

Think your getting mixed up with the sheer amount of posters you’re insulting.

Why the attitude? I have barely posted on this thread and support England, my home nation.

They are a British protectorate. Alleging this is wrong due to distance is entirely arbitrary.

Same as claiming Guadeloupans or Martiniquans aren’t French just because of….distance.

Or indeed Greenland

Falklands have been inhabited now for centuries and, ironically, if it weren't for Argentina they might well want to be just the Falklands. They are fully self governing already. But, given that if they weren't a British protectorate, Argentina would immediately invade them it seems very unfair for Argentina to be complaining that them remaining as a protectorate is imperialism. It's like Russia complaining about NATO stopping them invading who they want.

I feel the same about Germany, quite sad about Norway going out, Denmark didn't qualify and gutted about that as close family ties and friends in both cases. All of whom don't exude hate for England, why would they!

Oh it’s you, thought you might have gone to sleep. Do you do anything other than post on MN?
The Scottish government is hardly squeaky clean is it? Taking all that money off you and pumping it into a failing system.

No tell me how a member of the public managed to steal taxes? I’m sure the police would like to know too. Are you sure your not getting mixed up with an ex Uk pm?
