It was his fault, everyone down to meet him at the bookies. :p:

Yes yes but in 1966 and in the rugby last year, was it a great win for Britian?? :D

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise England make a habit of being successful in finals :D

However IIRC, Scotland seem to qualify quite regularly.....

You don't mind going back a bit do you? 1966.........

and who's talking about Rugby? I'm on abaout a particular way "home" teams play football, and don't forget a lot of players in these teams play or at least started out playing in the English (& Welsh!!!) or Scottish leagues.

When England lose or go through a bad run, it then becomes a 'British' thing. But of course when they win, it's then just "England".

Double standards.

There are 3 things you can count on: 1. Death, 2. Taxes, and 3. The Welsh and Scottish taking the pi** when we lose.

Having said that, I do think the Welsh rugby team is getting better year by year!

:Yikes: Did I say that? Oh no! :shocked:

That's true :D I remember when we stuffed Holland in the Euro finals.......and nearly everyone I was with wanted us to score that extra goal to get Scotland through. I don't think the Scots would have felt the same about England.

Mind you is it just that we slightly prefer the Scots to the Dutch? :D
