GaryWood34 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 So this annoyed me today when signing up for the euro 2024 app. Suggested I support England when I put in my Scottish post code. I’ve been known to move the England World Cup merch for sale in shops to the back behind other items and I replied to a Pizza Hut email rather sharply when they spoke about “it coming home” during the World Cup” What do you do / have done that’s as petty as me?

I always remember going and buying the Brazil away top hours after Ronaldinho had papped them out of the 2002 World Cup. Stuck it on straight away and the lassie that I was seeing at the time had a sister who was going out with a brummie guy - I could sense the seethe when I saw him later in the day. Glorious.

Stopped buying Mars bars for years after they temporarily changed their name to Believe bars, 2006 WC I think it was. Also stopped buying XXX strong mints after they became a supporter/sponsor of that lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis_trap Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Was delighted to find my youngest son (age 6) playing Scotland vs England on FIFA (play station). He had made it a 2 player game, except England were uncontrolled. The lad was winning 31-0 🤣 Lyndon Dykes had scored about 15.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdgsct Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Dragged my kids round 3 shops to get enough facepaint for the Italian flag on the day of final last time. Watched it in an Italian restaurant. Great night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4Footsoldier Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Had a good "It's coming home" sing song in London after the Euro 2020 final. The one that gets to me is when you're on apps and they either only have an option to put your nationality as British, or even worse, it defaults to British despite the app also having separate English, Scottish, Welsh and Norther Irish options.

This article sums the English and their media up perfectly https://sportsbrief.com/football/53894-why-cafu-believes-premier-league-poses-danger-brazils-world-cup-bid/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember if it was Pizza Hut, there was so much of it going on , but I replied with a mouthful. I am a bloody hypocrite though as I took advantage of discounted kegs from Beerhawk on the ‘it’s coming home’ theme. I convinced myself it was acceptable as I could drink the cheap beer watching them get beat . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookhouseBoys Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 If I’m watching them on tv, in any sport, I always mute their anthem. Have done for years. Honestly thinking about setting up my own form of Buddhism based around this, the amount of serenity it provides….! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be done. petty doesn't describe it, but the alternative of pannin' in your own TV, well what would describe that? 😆 Ok, I get the serenity bit now! Next time there'll be yoga involved too to help me keep my gob shut 🕊️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot1 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I closed my account at Nationwide Building Society when they became England sponsors. I was initially an account holder at the Dunfermline Building Society which was merged / taken over by Nationwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's could fuck you for a mortgage considering they are by far the biggest mortgage lender in the UK now but I respect it 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
