The reason I have my opinions is because I'm tired of, yes, the media ramming it all down my throat and treating us Celts like second class citizens. If all the home nations are playing one night, guess which team gets the most coverage in the news?

If I was a betting man I'd wager that anyone who thinks I'm exaggerting is English

You guys can't see it - it's perfectly normal for you lot to have your team given prominence in the media.

I'm not entirely bitter, that's why I'd like to see an England win. What would annoy me is the fact we wouldn't hear the end of it til 2046 - but that's besides the point.

Me, I went out and bought a Barcelona top
Do you actually believe the media and think that all English fans think that we are going to win it?

Okay you may be just fed up with the media, but BR's posts do suggest a rivalry issue, not a media thing. I am just on a crusade for honesty
