To think this is a step too far from the SNP?

[heyjudedontmakeitsad]

The SNP have released a statement today saying they are “raising a glass” to Argentina.

Now I understand the whole football thing, anyone but England etc.

But Argentina killed Scottish troops in 1982. It’s too much.

So to sum up this thread -

The Germans are now our allies! They just do not perpetuate the England hate like argentina and sadly many bitter scots.

Yep. Many scots in their latest anything but England footie shirt

What a load of rubbish, not being able to handle falling at the first fence etc .. the average Scottish fan wasn't expecting much at all really, was just great to qualify and be there to enjoy the experience, we werent going to get any further. 😂

I could have written this post! Was a member at one point! So disappointed with SNP!

Yeh yeh we are all bitter 😂

They got majority seats, the majority of the people who voted didn’t vote for them.

In what way “vile”?

Where in Scotland do you live?

Peurile anti-English pish. Deeply disappointing but unsurprising. The SNP thrive on cultivating that chip on the shoulder.

Scots are well aware we aren’t very good at fitba! We were over the moon to qualify as its been 28 years! Realistically we were never getting by the group stage! Most folk just get fed up with the British media & their English bias. It’s been 60 years but they stll go on about 1966!

No no some scots are bitter. I've seen many wish England well, nice to see it it's shame others can't control their fury and bile a bit though.

It's a football game 😂

Hear hear! From a fellow Scot. It’s so BABYISH. In fact, babies aren’t small-minded like this. It’s embarrassing.

So you have to go to the trouble of acquiring an Argentinian top just to get a free pint 😆 🤣 course they are.

The British media were going on and on about the altitude and how amazing the Mexicans were going to be so no idea what this 'bias' is?

There's going to be a melt down on here either way tomorrow. No need to bring salty tears, these will be provided courtesy of Scotland.

What, do the whole of England play for the English Team?

I am talking about bias going back many years, maybe they’ve toned it down a bit! Not just football either.

For many years any Scot winning medals for sport was British while English medal winners were always English. Olympics etc. Same with Welsh or NI winners.

For me the most ridiculous thing on both sides is that it wasn't Argentina and England fighting a war.

That and there's never this ridiculous fuss over rugby matches.

Thanks to the jovial Scots on Mumsnet, not the miseries. .I always cheer on Scotland. Love your national anthem and put it on a par with that of France. The tartan army are a blast as well. Such a shame that adult toddlers can't drop their bitterness.im proud of our boys to get this far 🇬🇬

The SNP are just childish pathetic trashy scum. Everyone here in Scotland with half a brain can see that. They and their supporters are complete morons.

And on Germans, Germans are embarrassed and ashamed of their past actions. The Argentines are actively trying to stir up the nation for another go in the Falklands.

I loved seeing the friendly rivalry between Norway and England. Norweigan Airways changed their logo to the British Airways logo after they lost the game. It was all very positive and friendly.
The SNP don't seem to have any of this good natured humour. They just look spiteful, bitter and ever resentful. I think they could play a blinder with some good natured humour - but they are incapable. Shame, it could give them some much needed good publicity.

For a political party it’s a bit pathetic.

I do hope you are not suggesting I am lying ?
It’s on their FB page and the staff are all wearing Argentina tops .
