Caledonian Craig Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 That would be different from any normal scottish football fan though. You could say anything about him, for example, he probably supports England as much as us but in all probability that would be wrong too. Normal? Frankly, I am more interested in Scotland winning than having a rabid, foaming at the mouth loathing or even caring what England are up to. I'll take satisfaction if I watch coverage and listen to commentators/pundits talking them up and then they lose but apart from that I couldn't really give a jot.

Caledonian Craig Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 And lets not forget he has just married an English woman so I'd hardly see him as being anti-English. Likes a bit of banter - yes definitely but that is about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confident that when Andy sits and watches England on telly he will be wanting their opponents to win. And like your other post, you want the English beat but apart from that you couldn't give a jot (bit of a contradiction there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take quiet satisfaction should they lose and more so if Ian Wright etc is on pre-match creaming his pants about them. But that is a hell of a lot different from specifically sitting there cheering on any team in any sport to beat England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to continually exaggerate with the rabid foaming at the mouth patter and repeated anti-English and who said anything about sitting cheering any team that play England. You want England to lose, so does Andy and so do I. We got there in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeklipse Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Henman backed Murray over what he said in terms of it being in the spirit of the moment i.e. him getting the pish ripped because Scotland weren't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The only time I want England to win, is if it benefits Scotland. Same said with Hearts, an analogy I use with my English Friends and Family when they question me. Except I ask my Tottenham supporting Inlaws if they would support Arsenal in Europe. No is the obvious answer. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YORKIE PAM Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I know the question beforehand, but don't believe it changes the fact that Murray was serious. I want them to lose every time they play. It's football. I feel the same way about Ayr. I know a great guy who supports Ayr. My best man is English. It's not life, it's just football stuff. Murray seems to feel the same. Totally agree but I've found it's only the people not into football that don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them getting their hopes up only makes their forthcoming loss all the more entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Totally agree but I've found it's only the people not into football that don't get it. anything like people not being able to separate football and politics ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
