calscot 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I agree with the sentiments re commentators and pundits, but living in England, my experience of most England fans is not much different... There's many I like as people, but they annoy me as England fans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Calscot, looks like you've just selected the facts that let you justify your hatred, rather than the other way round. Racist. I've just listed the cons, I tried listing the pros but couldn't come up with anything... Counting up misdemeanours (and a few felonies) and passing sentence is not hatred or prejudiced - it's part of any fair justice system... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmck 117 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) At least you've taken the time to draw up a big list of stereotyped cons to justify your race hate, most racists these days are just lazy. What do you think of the blacks? :fish: Seriously though, the media are insane. But I feel that exact same mad vanity when facing SPL clubs and teams I think we should be beating. The commentators are just exaggerations of this, and it's no reason to support anyone that's playing England unless it's Scotland.

Zappa 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) As I mentioned on the WC thread, I thought it was out of order last night when Harry Redknapp was putting down the Serbs saying they were poor and deserved to go home. This is a Serb side that managed to beat the Germans, while England's high flyers struggled to beat lesser teams than the Serbs. I hope the Germans pump the bastards right out in the next round. Maybe then we'll get some balanced, unbiased commentary for the rest of the tournament. Edited June 24, 2010 by Zappa 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Osama bin Laden has just released a new TV message to prove he is still alive. He said that the England Team performance on Saturday was completely s**t. British intelligence have dismissed the claim, stating that the message could have been recorded anytime in the last 44 years. Robert Green - The only man to leave Africa with out catching anything . In a statement from broadcasting house, all future England games will now be shown on the gay porn channel. It is thought that 11 arseholes being regularly shafted is too explicit for regular TV. I can't believe we only managed a draw against a s**t team we should easily have beaten......I'm ashamed to call myself Algerian. The England team went to visit an orphanage in South Africa this morning, "its so good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, constantly struggling, and facing the impossible" said Jamal Omboto, aged 6. Fifa have released a statement saying the fan didn't break into the dressing room after all, but was let in by Rob Green. What's the difference between Rob Green's spill and BP's spill? - Robert Green has got a cap for his. Fabio Capello was wheeling his shopping trolley across the supermarket car park when he noticed an old lady struggling with her bags of shopping. He stopped and asked, "Can you manage dear?" To which the old lady replied, "No way. You got yourself into this f*****g mess, don't ask me to sort it out..." The FA have launched an inquiry to find out how a fan found his way into the dressing room. And another enquiry into how Aaron Lennon found his way into the dressing room. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,513 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 What country does give unbiased, balanced reporting when their own country is involved? Perhaps I should want Scotland to lose because of Keevins, McNee, Spiers etc? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've ruined your argument - those three are usually biased against Scotland and talk us down all the way through the game...

alexscottislegend 2,236 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 It's not just the commentators -it's the parochialism of the British state. In 1967 a Ce***c team containing eleven Glaswegians and no plastic paddies became the first British team to win the European Cup. It was a magnificent acheievement for British and Scottish football but the English believed that honour was reserved for Man Utd and awarded a knighthood to Matt Busby one year later. Alex Ferguson got his knighthood when he won it, but none of these achievements rank any where near that of Jock Stein, with virtually no money to build a team. I loved it when Scotland won at Wembley the same year. When Scotland has been in the WC and no England, I don't recall the UK Prime Minister hanging a St Andrews Cross from Downing Steeet either. And by the way I'm not a nationalist - I wish to see Scotland as an equal partner in the UK state. I hate this phoney devolved state. Either real independence or the Union Jack full stop. When you live in England you just become more aware of this; how many times have you heard the words 'england' and' Britain' used synonymously? A Scotsman is genetically incapable of making this mistake. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but there would be some that could be used that would support my argument. I just used them coz I hate the bassas. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
