Do Scottish fans really not support England?

There’s always a running joke about Scottish fans wanting anyone but England to win and supporting which ever team England is playing against. I totally get the friendly rivalry but is it actually true that most Scottish fans want England to lose in the Euros final or do most want England to win deep down given Scotland is out?

If England aren’t playing I think most England fans would support Scotland or Wales as fellow Brits, especially in a Euro or World Cup final!

"On a side note, did you hear Annabel Croft describing Alcaraz as hot instead of on fire?! 😂"

Yes! I felt her embarrassment lol was funny and she took the ribbing in good grace

Me too 😂 That’s a moment she’ll look back on with curling toes!

Bit rich to criticise the English for harping on about 1966 when Scotland fans used to bring "Remember Bannockburn" banners to Home International games at Wembley! 710 years and counting.....,..

I've never seen one of those banners in my lifetime. I hear reference of 1966 every time there's a man's tournament on.

YAAAAAASSS!!!!!!

Werweisswohin · 14/07/2024 22:06

Ah well, it didn't come home, did it?
Well done Spain, so well deserved.

Queenofwistfulthinking · 14/07/2024 22:07

Something is coming home but unfortunately it ain't the cup 🇪🇸

RJnomore1 · 14/07/2024 22:14

Is it a good time to ask if anyone knows who the last team to actually beat Spain were?

SirChenjins · 14/07/2024 22:14

Spain outplayed England and the best team won on the night 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 did beat them but not sure who was last?

@Werweisswohin i was VERY aggressively given a lecture about Owain Glyndŵr by some Welsh fans while watching a match once. I (English) was in Portugal and was supporting Holland against Portugal. They decided to support Portugal purely because an English woman was supporting Holland (I was with my Dutch dp). I know that was the case because at the final whistle they Surrounded me to give me a lecture about English imperialism. Absolutely pathetic. And gives lie to the “we only have beef with the media” trope. That’s what, 750 years of hurt, taken out on one woman by 6 men. Nice.

Football’s Coming Home has been ringing in my ears for days.

Can we all join together for one final rendition for old times sake?

Fuck All’s Coming Home 🎶 🎵

Thevelvelletes · 14/07/2024 22:39

That's it done....it's only a game.

prettybird · 14/07/2024 22:45

Colombia beat them 1-0 in March, but that was a friendly.

Last team to beat them in a competitive game was Scotland 2-0 at Hampden during the qualifiers.

That was undoubtedly a horrific experience which I wouldn't wish on anyone, but could you maybe look again at the title of this thread?

Scotland does indeed have it's share of nutters, but our fans have a well-earned reputation for good behaviour when following the national team abroad; I would hope and expect that they wouldn't behave in this way!

Summernightsinthe21stcentury · 14/07/2024 22:51

Well there you go, it's all over but the shouting goes on...
Why did this happen, why did they do this, why didn't Gareth do that.
A wee while to the next qualifiers and before the next post about why do the Scots/Welsh/NI not support England.

Incidentally loved Alcatraz this afternoon 😀what a lovely young man at the top of his game!

Queenofwistfulthinking · 14/07/2024 22:52

Said on another thread 'Scotland can go back to begging for money and complaining' a bit harsh I thought .

Alcatraz? Lol.

You’re kidding yourself @nietzscheanvibe ! 😂

I’ve commented a lot about Scottish people not supporting England on this thread and others. I don’t think Welsh fans are any different. I just illustrated my point with a personal anecdote. I don’t know how they have the energy to be honest.

it wasn’t a horrific experience. I just laughed at them.

Summernightsinthe21stcentury · 14/07/2024 22:56

Haha autocorrect

Alcaraz obviously.

Spent the afternoon enthralled by his amazing tennis! So much more fun than the football but you catch yourself on 😂

A personal anecdote about WELSH fans @BitOutOfPractice 🙄

BitOutOfPractice · 14/07/2024 23:06

It could absolutely easily have been Scottish fans though. You get the general point surely?

lots of people have spoken about Ireland and Wales on this thread too.

It could absolutely have been ANY fans.
Let's hope the disappointed English don't attempt to destroy parts of Berlin tonight, after their defeat.

You're criticising Scottish people because something that some Welsh men did once could have been done by Scottish people.

That's beyond a fucking stretch.

BitOutOfPractice · 14/07/2024 23:10

Is it? Crikey!

and of course suggesting that I’m ok English hooliganism isn’t? 🙄
