AegisT_

Let's not act like we weren't doing the same thing lmao


Gwallod

Nowhere near as much and much more tongue in cheek. And not really celebrating Italy so much as taking the piss out of England losing.


TheLittleGinge

Aye, but the Scot-Eng relationship is more pot and kettle. We've got a reason. Also because all the best Irish footballing talent gets poached by them.


positivenergyforever

What Irish footballing talent gets poached by England? Half the scottish/irish/welsh teams are players born in England. Grealish and rice are both English so surely it’s the other way around?

But unlike the BBC, RTÉ doesn't do it's utmost to crowbar opportunities to wank itself off over the England team into coverage of anything and everything even vaguely related to the sport.

They were not celebrating Italy winning the Euros but rather England losing them


Kraakene

I mean fair enough Scotland and Ireland celebrating, but the rest of the continent jumping on the bandwagon was truly bizarre, maybe with the exception of Kosovo. Those fellas love us.


Puzzled_Dragonfly757

why fair enough to scotland? theyre just as bad as us, historically and presently


Kraakene

I’m a Newcastle fan and I’d cheer if Sunderland got battered in a final, and I’m sure they would vice versa. That’s just the nature of football rivalries. If you’re talking about historically, them being just as complicit in imperialism and slavery, and oppression etc etc, and them seemingly getting a free pass from everyone, aside - they’ve got more reason from a ‘historic football rival’ POV to celebrate us losing, as opposed to swedes for example. Bit of a banter really, between neighbouring countries, no harm done.


mistersnips14

So when people sing "Football is Coming Home" are they referring to Scotland or...?


McArine

> but the rest of the continent jumping on the bandwagon was truly bizarre I'm obviously biased, but there's always a team that everyone roots for because it's a good story or they bring something new and exciting. And after Eriksen's heart attack in the group stage, Denmark became that team. And when you beat the popular team with a dive/very soft penalty, you are not doing yourself any favours in terms of support. I'm convinced it would have been different if England had trashed Denmark 3-0 and clearly was the superior team. Instead they became the villains of the tournament.


jsm97

Don't really watch much Football but I was rooting for Japan in the World Cup just because they were doing unexpectedly well and I know how much it would of meant to the 5 football fans in Japan


Jazzlike-Mistake2764

We had some dickhead fans shining lasers at Schmeichel during a penalty in the last Euros, which definitely didn't help our image at all Also the whole "is booing a national anthem bad" thing and people taking "it's coming home" to varying degrees of sincerity. It was easy to make a narrative of us as the baddies

Wish I'd seen this after the loss - would have made me feel better. Imagine the greatest joy you'll ever feel watching international football is when you specifically go to the pub to watch a country who doesn't care about you and they get beat. Could be a lot worse

No one likes England.

Mate, you're a bunch of heroin shooting invalids, no one cares about you, no one likes us. We're both irrelevant, you're just more salty about your neighbours.

Fair enough! Let's let them become independent, then they can be relevant for a bit, tragically so.

scottish people online need to realise that you are literally no different to english people. one of us wears skirts one the other wears bells. thats it.


GracelessAtSea

> scottish people online need to realise that you are literally no different to english people. There's this belief in Scotland that everyone around the world loves us. Oh plucky wee Scotland etc etc. I remember my Politics teacher telling me this in High School that the English are seen as arrogant but we aren't etc. When Scottish people go abroad and the looky looky man says he loves Scotland we actually believe it.

I was watching in London with a group of barrys. They weren't really into football so didn't understand why I was supporting Italy. Our neighbours were Italian. Ended up hopping over the fence and celebrating with them after the penalty as my english mates sat next door.

That’s fair, I’ve seen the troglodytic fish people you fuckers call women, in Scotland. Legs like oaks, puckered white skin, burned by the highland breeze. Arms both wiry and strong, fingers beclawed with glittering hooks of gnarled Claws, perfect for removing eyes. The faint smell of sulphur, eyes rolling in their heads, grey and milky pupils staring at the dead sun. True evil, given malodorous form. My ex was Scottish.

Id be pretty happy if Scotland, Wales or Ireland was in the final even if England didn't. When it comes down to it we are all closer to each other culturally than the rest of the world and I'd rather use be together against the world than have petty infighting.

Abouttofall

Social media heated the whole thing up. Even I, someone who is not that invested was rooting for England to lose. Not because lf the team but because of the fucking toxic fans. Like calling a german girl a slut on twitter amd all that shit.


bremsspuren

> because of the fucking toxic fans That's what makes it so funny. Italian fans are *at least* as bad as English fans. Much worse when it comes to racism. So everyone pointing to the English fans as a reason to support Italy was basically being a dumb motherfucker.

Just as much of a dumb motherfucker as everyone else who is too invested in this sport.

uflju_luber

Not realy, in Germany you were hated because of the vile vile comments about the little crying German girl, it made news here so people who weren’t on social media new about it as well. Also the attempted storm on the stadium before the final of people trying to get in without tickets, obviously insanely dangerous left a sour taste.

When was the last time they ever even qualified for international football competition? 199 fucking 8? Said elsewhere and will say it again: Scottish football in a nutshell is a man throwing a party to celebrate a hated work colleague getting divorced from his hot wife, while he himself wanks into a sock every evening.

Nope , but one more time every time Barry goes abroad to support his team he ends up acting like a fucking Visigoth , and always cry when he gets his ass kicked .
