What gave it away? Was it the sig, the avatar? :D

They are THE rank outsiders to win anything at the world cup (1000/1), chances are they will get humped in every game they play in but, two of their player play for my club so its only right i support them.

SO COME ON THE SOCA WARRIORS!!!!

The Scottish league is a pile of poo, thats been known for years. Its been held back by the dominance of two big clubs who buy all the best Scottish talent from other clubs on the cheap (as clubs in Scotland need all the money thay can get as they cannot afford to hold onto players) and then have them sitting on the bench at the expense of foreign players.

Add to that the bottom feeding cartel that is the SPL who vote simply with their best interests at heart at the expense of the rest of the leagues and there is not much we can do.

Its a vicious circle that serves only Celtic and Rangers.

Here's an example of what i mean, i support Falkirk, yet in Falkirk town centre there is a Rangers shop directly on the high street punting Rangers gear to all the glory hunters who want it, yet Falkirk struggle with (until very recently) an out of town shop as we cannot afford to set up shop in the town centre as we have had to spend money on a new stadium just to get into the SPL. So kids from all over Scotland grow up with Rangers and Celtic on their doorstep and local clubs get overlooked.

Its a bloody disgrace.

They can't even qualify, let alone have a hope of winning the sodding thing. Which England do. a ha ha ah ah a ah ah ah aha ha. :monkey: :rolleyes:
Aaaand one of these days I'm sure you'll grow up ;) :D

As I've said before, I genuinely wish England well but when the papers (the same ones I pay my money for) are crammed wall-to-wall with England, knowing fully weel that if they were out and Wales/Scotland/NI were in, the amount of coverage would drop infinately.

If there were regional versions on the dailies available, so the English versions could carry on with their usual jingoism and the rest of us could be left in peace then you wouldn't hear any complaints from the rest of us.

Typically it usually seems to be the English who can't see this...

Have Wales ever been in, within living memory? :)

1958 - Pele put us out :grind: :D

But still, you're not going to be the type of England supporter who ignores criticism of their own country by attacking another?? :D

Actually most if not all of the national papers do have regional variations. ;)

Good - there's no reason not to then :)

If the English versons did what they do now, and left the other regions relatively free of the jingoism, the world would be a much happier place :D

All I am saying is that considering we let the three best teams Wales could cobble together join our leagues you should stop being so ungrateful and get behind England :D

it would annoy me less if the stories they put in were different. on the front and back page of the mirror, you got rooney stuff. then, the next to back pages are about rooney. then, you've also got another 2 pages spread on the same damn thing about 10 pages in.

and it isn't really much different to yesterday's paper

Agreed 100% - I don't doubt there's a market for having the same thing being told about your national team over and over again (plus an article in the sport section in case you forget) but please keep it where it belongs - the other side of the Severn bridge and south of Hadrian's wall!

The real problem is the length of time it takes for the tournament to start, all the hacks have nothing else to write about, lazy journalism really.
