Re: The anyone but England thread!
Seeing as so many of you are completely failing to grasp my very simple point, I'll go over it again.
One last time.
When it is only England playing, it makes sense for them to be given media coverage. No problems there. What I object to is when England have a game (in any competition or even a friendly) the amount of coverage they're given vastly outweights that given to the other home countries when they play.
When all the home nations (or one of them as well as England) are playing, England are given priority in the Uk media. This, as I'm sure you will all agree, is completely unfair.
I pay for my licence like you guys pressumably do, so why should I feel like my national team is being treated like an afterthought on the national news?
There are very few (in fact I can only think of one) Welsh newspapers which report on the whole of the UK and of course we are given much more fair coverage there, but they are not my style of newspaper.
So all in all, The media, as Nugget can see and agree with, is biased towards England. Completely unfair and it's for this reason that threads like this will pop up and also the reason why the rest of us aren't as enthusiastic about England. Nothing to do with jealousy, just the way we are treated.
