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

[Engerlund]

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.

I have noticed this about people in England, they tie the whole of Scotland, or even just the independence movement to one person. You're obsessed with Nicola Sturgeon. It would be like judging every English person, the England football team, or it's desire for maintaining the union, on just Nigel Farage,and his 5 million pound donation, or just Keir Starmer and his flip flopping on every issue.

No, I've queried your passive aggressive views and the other fierce anti English hate. Do you mean football banter like looking forward to the England game?

She’ll be back. Your xenophobia and misogyny however can stay down there. 👍

if you don’t know that, I suggest you discover AI.
Has it reached up there?

You don’t have one is the answer 👍

She has seen the light and doesn’t want to go back.

A bit like the millions of people who've moved out of England to Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Spain and so on. They must have seen that same light.

I feel like I am in a minority. It would be great if England won! I live here and we need something good to happen. But I am fine with any other team winning, providing they are not nasty/racist/violent, play fair, and there is no corruption involved. I would be excited for another home nation to win too and would feel proud.

I love a good-natured tournament and have enjoyed the many heartwarming moments from this World Cup. Of course it’s competitive and there has to be passion and rivalry. But I cannot relate to the unpleasantness on this thread at all.

Having lived there I am in a position to comment.
where have you lived in England?
Or anywhere else?
Have lived in many difficult countries, but Scotland was the only one which was awful. Racism beyond imagination.

Of course we do it's, 'Three Lions'.

"Racism beyond imagination"
Coming from Farage Land, that's an interesting take.

I didn’t realise Farage was prime minister?
Says the country with the Anti English SNP in government.
Sorry, remind me where you have lived in England?
Because Inverness makes Blackpool look like the Provence….

Well Inverness houses are cheap as chips.

Jerusalem. Three Lions. Wonderwall.
Whats yours?
Donald where’s your trousers?

🤣

Exactly. My partner's a Scot living in England for years. He gives and takes stick in the pub with his English mates. But then they've all got a SOH. He'll be there tonight wanting England to win because he's not a misery guts.

She won’t though will she?
But please hurry up and take her.

oops my bad. I must have misunderstood when I saw the news stating his party was the most popular party in England, by a significant margin.

"Says the country with the Anti English SNP in government."
You're absolutely right. Having a government that wants Scotland to be able to manage its own affairs, instead of the UK government, must make it anti-English, if the English perspective is that it deserves to control Scotland.

"Sorry, remind me where you have lived in England?"
I could make something up, like you probably have, to make a useless point, but honestly? I don't have it in me to claim I've lived there. 😅

"Because Inverness makes Blackpool look like the Provence…."

It does? On what matric? Inverness has a much higher GDP, and much lower crime. Inverness is one of the safest cities in the UK.

That's what we like to hear - anti misery guts!

Ah but I have lived and worked in Aberdeen.
So I have experienced your world.
I was a senior sister in ARI.
My husband was a drilling manager.

"Ah but I have lived and worked in Aberdeen."
Aberdeen? So not Inverness?
"I have experienced your world"
You claim to have experienced living in Aberdeen, not my "world".
If I lived in Hackney, England, for a while, can I claim to have "lived in your world" too?

"I was a senior sister in ARI.
My husband was a drilling manager."

OK? Good for you?

So you will know Hackney is very diverse.
Inverness was definitely not

Why do you care?

But the SNP is not managing your affairs is it?
failing NHS
failing education
drug capital of Europe
rising taxes

To be fair, I'm English and I'd support pretty much anyone over Scotland. So it cuts both ways.
