You're missing the point - we don't begrudge England from celebrating. No, it's the way the press have little time for anything Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish.

When Wales played (and subsequently beat) Germany 2 years ago, did the Sun have its centrepages dedicated to pictures of John Hartson, the way they did with Rooney during Euro 2004?

No offence intended right back, but how are we to take no notice of what English fans say or do when it's all over the TV, radio, internet and newspapers??
