RANGERRAB 3,680 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 When SNP Holyrood introduced the OBFA it clearly didn’t include Scotland international matches did it ? Think this alienated a few of us who used to attend Scotland matches 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be uneasy with that. England would be happy as they would just start calling it England. But what about Wales and N.I. - would they want it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland, of course, managed to still mess it up with only seconds to go. I remember seeing a young Charlie Nicholas score a cracker against Switzerland I think on his Scotland debut. He was cheered to the rafters by the Scotland support that night, the majority of who must have been Rangers supporters. I did look at the Scotland side last night and think 'could they get anymore Celtic players or supporters into that side!' but once the match started I can temporarily suspend allegiances. In the end I accepted Maurice Johnson scoring for Rangers, I can accept Griffiths scoring for Scotland. Agree. I cheered Scotland beating France at rugby as it pleased my Welsh mate as it meant his side won the six nations. What would happen to rugby if we had an all-British team?? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the four nations also complete separately in a tournament, so that would be nullified if an all-Britain team was to be imposed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Wanting your country to defeat another is one step away from xenophobia. Appalling that this sort of thing still goes on. It's 2021, for crying out loud! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Orwell said as much in an essay after the Moscow Dynamo tour of Britain after the WW2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
