Mildly amusing - and I'm English. Remember at the Euro's a couple of years ago when England didn't make it. The whole of Scotland suddenly didn't know who to support... 'til then it was APE - Anybody Playing England!

Typical stuff that from Scottish & Welsh, they need there own money pit Assemblys to remind themselves of their nationality! The poor loves!

Contrast the Scottish ABE/APE approach with the English WTFAS approach....

A bit of fun probably, but there are some people who really need to start getting over it. In the words of Renton, "Some people hate the English, but I don't. They're just ****. We, on the other hand, are colonized by ****.". Genius script writing.

WTFAS?
And besides, what's wrong with rivalry? I support whoever's playing England at rugby, because England are our rugby rivals. Is that so bad?
Really, it's a bit of a complement because if England weren't a threat we wouldn't care!

or perhaps they don't care to be ruled by the Orangen Freistatd* called London ?
* remarkable for zero hits on Bing, and I can't remember its meaning
Racist and likely to promote a riot
how can it be racist when we're the same race after millenia of interbreeding ?

Well done girls!!

Slightly amusing and I'm not in the slightest bit concerned by it.
The only time this sort of stuff bugs me is when I'm told I have to support that loser....sorry tenis-ist Murray. He's Scottish and he wants to be seen so (supporting Argentina against England in the footie), so I don't have to support him. I was cheering Federer when he gave him a tennis lesson at the Aussie open. Fair enough.

Tell that to all the households who will have twice the Council Tax increase to what England have, and to all the Teachers and other support staff who will loose their jobs because of the cut in funding for school budgets while the Welsh Assembly waste money on new offices for themselves and pay the rent of profitable business so they can occupy new business parks.Posted 1 year ago # -
NOt racism but perhaps mild xenophobia?

I see this as being similar to myself (a Rangers fan) wanting anyone except Celtic to win a tournament, or an Everton fan wanting anyone except Liverpool. It's more to do with a sporting rivalry (not that we've been good enough at ootbal to be seen as rivals in recent years!) but the country element allows those who're looking to be offended (and there are plenty of them about) to take offense.
In this case it looks like some d1ck of a policeman has tired to make something out of a non-issue.
I'm half English and half Scottish so like to think I'm unbiased on these things!

and of course the wily Welsh pay no taxes of any kind ? You forgot to mention skiving immigrants too! Other culprits: Trident, The Army, The Olympics, The "Defence Industry" (subsidised gun-running) etc etc

Well both have been to European finals in recent years, which is more than can be said for the vast majority of UK teams (barring 4 or 5 of the top English clubs).

At least I get to support my OWN countries team in the world cup, and not some other nation because their own national teams are as good as a bunch of blind school boys

I think it is fairly gentle.I feel sorry for the poor couthy English football supporters who like to spend the whole game singing old George Formby numbers.It must be really hard to receive this unwarranted abuse from one of your oldest colonies.After everything you have done for us,may I be first to apologise for my countrymen.And may I take this opportunity to say how much I am looking forward to that nice Ian Wrighty and his chum with the ears sharing their in-depth analysis during the Summer months

Ian Wright on the TV is one reason why a neutral might find England difficult to support.

As a teacher,the odd schoolgirl we get who is pregnant is terrified.Getting a house etc,is not really apparent as the motivation.IMO

There are times when I feel guilty about the A.B.E. mentality,
There's a lot to admire about the England team, they do seem to play as a greater-than-the-sum-of-their parts type squad, they are a good mix of people from across your country, north and south, black and white, there's even a few uglies like Rooney to show how down to earth the team is....
... an then I think back to EVERY F***IN' football event since 1966 and the triumphalist bollox of the media and pundits, and what we would have to put up with if it happened again... And I think nahhh! Anyone But England!

As stated on another forum;
And the really funny thing is that I know a good few Welsh and Scottish people who hate the English, when the vast majority of English people couldn't give a **** about bitter third world hangers on.
Seems to sum it up quite well.

That sums up why the majority of the rest of the world hate the English.(and they do!)
