Oh and i didnt mention the China / India thing as it was a pointless statement, China and India does not have football as a national sport.

Its a bit like saying India should be good at snowboarding because they have so many people.

It's interesting how the scottish whine about 1966, and yet TBR has mentioned 1967 enough times in this thread. Double standards eh.

So now it's "OUR" media, and you have a problem with them going overboard about "OUR" team ...

Not really pointless is it though? If it is pointless, it makes your point, useless then. Saying about it is not their national sport is just a weazel out isn't it? What about the USA? Out of the teams at the world cup, they probably have the largest population, yet don't have a chance.

Don't be fooled, if it were simply a case of media hype they would buy the Scottsman or Daily Record.

slightly off football, I like how it is england and scotland for football, but britain for athletics, cause the english need the scots to do well.

EDIT: I am a bit peeved off when I hear about england all the time, after all they are not the only team in teh world cup.

I just hate it getting thrown down my throat and listening to the commentry mention england in every and I mean every game. Why do we need that?

and what amazes me is that they always say who they are going to meet int teh quarter finals and semis and if not finals, they have not got there yet, they probably will not either, god I hope not

I've mentioned 1967 twice in response to allegations of Scotland being poor.

If thats double standards compared to the English media banging on about 1966 almost daily since 1966 then there's something wrong.

Hmmm winning one match does compare to winning the World Cup doesn't it

Yes,
Your media goes on about England constantly without a single thought about the fact that they broadcast into other countries. Why should we concider ourselves part of the Uk when they dont concider the fact that we are in the UK too.

It does when you just humped (off the park) your rivals right after they win the World Cup, right when they are at their supposed peak in terms of football at their own ground, in front of thier own fans even.

For the Tartan Army to come strolling down the road and win a glorious game where we utterly take the p*ss - then yes it quite possibly does compare.

That would give you exactly what you crave, the "belief" that you can wind me up. As if !
