“If they win we’ll never hear the end of it”
Indeed
In fact every time they have a game in this world cup then every TV channel news programme and daytime trash TV programme cannot stop talking about it.
In fact , as a Scot, you almost feel as if you are in a foreign country and watching foreign Television programmes.
Then of course the , checks notes, UK PM posts constant motivation comments on ‘X’ to the England team and also if England win their game he then posts comments on ‘X’ praising them.
However I did not see the same motivation posts from him when Scotland played nor a commiseration post when they, Scotland, were knocked out of this world cup. (as if he did not care or as if it was none of his business nor his place to do so as the UK PM).
I read this online :
“Sir Keir Starmer did not post an official message of commiseration to Scotland on X (formerly Twitter) following their World Cup elimination. However, the King issued a public statement offering his sincere commiserations to the Scottish team for the “joy” they brought to the nation during the tournament”
“While Starmer didn’t post about Scotland’s exit, he did spark controversy ahead of England’s semi-final match against Argentina. His spokesperson stated that the Prime Minister encouraged “unity” and urged Scottish and Welsh fans to back the England team, a plea that met heavy pushback from many Scottish supporters”.
BTW Prince William the future King , as in a future King (Billy), posted this after the Norway game:
“Well done England! Top performance in a tough environment. “This is a special team. Commiserations to a proud Norway team”.
He, the future King (Billy) did not post commiserations to Scotland’s exit from the world cup ( (probably also as he , like Starmer, did not care and also saw it as being none of his business nor his place to do so as the future King (Billy).
A future King (Billy) whose official title will be ‘William (Billy) the Fifth, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith’. (aka King of England).
So the future King (Billy) commiserated with Norway but not Scotland who currently are a part of ‘the United Kingdom of Great Britain’.
So no I will not support England .
Did any of the news reporters, trash daytime programmes on ‘British‘ TV or the UK PM who now all want Scots to support England in this world cup also then reprimand the English fans who were singing in certain bars in America “You can shove your F****** bagpipes up your A***” ? ( or was that dismissed as ‘cheeky banter’ so not worth mentioning as not seen as yet more aggression from England fans against another so called ‘Home Nation’ – not a ‘Home Nation’ though whenever in any international sporting competitions when we are up against England though).
It seems we are to be regarded as being anti English in not supporting their national team (England) in sporting competitions, but the UK PM , the future King (Billy) and others in them mostly ignoring our National team (Scotland) and so then obviously not supporting us in these same international competitions that England are in, that is then not to be seen as them being anti Scottish.
Give me strength , it’s a constant from them as those who seemingly are so very very needy for our praise and our approval.

Bellacaledonia has an article on ABE. It includes this link to a truly cringeworthy video of England v Argentina and the Falklands war.
The insufferable hubris why it would be better if they lose. Plus the fact we don’t have our own separate media.

England is Britain is the Uk, they haven’t got over the empire mindset and expect as their right that the devolved nations support them.
when a wee Mancunian can say no to Scotland before even taking office it shows a complete lack of respect and is clear evidence of their dictatorial tendencies

Surprise surprise Sir Keir Starmer and Prince William (the future King Billy) have written commiseration posts on ‘X’ to the England team thus surely further solidifying the reality that they are really the PM of England and the future King of England – only.
(A reality that is especially directed at those Scots who are still deluded into thinking that British is a nationality that they are an ‘important’ part of as Scots within the not so Great Britain) .

Hubby and I were in a supermarket today in Edinburgh – not mentioning the name of the supermarket as this is not my blog so not my place to name names- but we overheard a worker with a headset say ” Can you tell everyone to make sure that all of the world cup material is removed”.
My hubby said to me ” The world cup is not over yet so why are they doing that just now”.
I responded ” Well with England now out , then as far as they are concerned the world cup is over”.
I wonder if England had won last night then would they be doing that today ?
Hmm
