Non gloating Scot here. Was cheering them on especially those young lads. They did England proud and it was a cruel way to lose.

Also Scottish and the sudden love for Italy amongst the ABE usual shite is pathetic.. don't any of you who do this get it? The 'Auld Enemy' shtick is bugger all and completely one sided. No one English I've ever met has any iota of hatred for the Scottish just because like seems to be up here for the English. It's embarrassing.

@Handsoffstrikesagain

So because of the behaviour of a few people everyone deserves a slagging? I’m not sure that’s the correct mindset to apply to something...
A few people the scenes from London this afternoon included hundreds of England fans . Also the scenes of again hundreds of them trying to use violence to push their way into Wembley. All that before they lost . I can only imagine the horrors unfolding right now

@Cantdoitallperfectly me and my son were doing the same thing! He was even singing enger-land enger-land in his Glaswegian accent Grin

He's only 6 but it wouldn't even occur to him not to cheer on a home nations team

@MimiDaisy11

I’m not English but penalties are always a cruel way to decide it. Feel sorry for those who missed. I don’t think they should have had someone so young take the last deciding one though. Poor guy.
agree, not fair on the young fella putting him up last.

I actually thought that some of the Italian squad played dirty especially that Giorgio Chiellini when he grabbed Saka's shirt & pulled him down. That was completely out of order & Chiellini should have been sent off not yellow carded.
I'm surprised the ref didn't send him off as it was done in plain sight.
Mind you even if he'd been sent off it still might have gone to penalties.

OppsUpsSide · 11/07/2021 23:30

so rude and in ya face about it

Hmm
OldScrappyAndHungry · 11/07/2021 23:31

Scottish and clearly don’t follow football because you thought it was the World Cup. Your pathetic gloating says a lot more about you than it does about those of us who are England fans Hmm.

DoucheCanoe · 11/07/2021 23:31

I'm a Scottish England fan - always have been because our national team were never worth supporting.

I'm absolutely gutted, tears and all but even if you're not a fan I don't understand how any one can look at Bukayo Saka's reaction and gloat about them losing. That young lad shouldered a lot of pressure and his reaction at the end showed every bit of it has left him heartbroken!

I've been more ashamed of some of my fellow Scots behaviour throughout this tournament. Very bitter and borderline xenophobic.

AlpineBell · 11/07/2021 23:32

I was quite shocked at the Italian players constantly assaulting English players. Quite unsettling to watch such dirty playing

Rubyrecka · 11/07/2021 23:32

@CrouchEndTiger12 😂 has your inner 12 year old come out to play

ForeverFloating · 11/07/2021 23:32

I’m Scottish, and the Scottish gloating I’ve seen is pathetic, we didn’t get near! Scotland are shite!
England played incredibly well and very nearly won tonight, I’m gutted for them 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

faithfulbird20 · 11/07/2021 23:33

Well they won on penalties sooo ...

There was a few “assaults “ on Italian players too funny you don’t mention those
2021hwg · 11/07/2021 23:35

Honestly I'm
Not English but I thought they did themselves proud.

Stop the bitterness. It's making you sad

Wakeupin2022 · 11/07/2021 23:35

They seem like a decent bunch of lads. It's not their fault they have the media and commentators building them up so much. The pressure must be unbelievable.

I don't like this nastiness OP. This is a night to haud yer Wheest.

Or at least spout yer shite elsewhere.

And no I am not an England supporter, even though I would have been happy enough if they had won tonight.

crocidura · 11/07/2021 23:35

And well done to you OP for figuring out (when someone told you) that it wasn't the World Cup final. You are obviously a football aficionado whose opinion is of high value 👍

FootballisgoingtoRome · 11/07/2021 23:36

#DomesticViolence increases 26% when #England play. 38% if they lose. Stay safe everyone .

Far more by Italian players. Odd you didn't notice....Hmm

I’m quite shocked at the riots and assaults by England fans on each other and on the police Hmm

Italy fan here - delighted!!!! Absolutely nerve wracking evening!!! A brilliant night of sport.

I had to switch the volume off for penalties and go by the roars from the neighbours! I just couldn’t watch!
