DrewDon Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I see the the blonde girl who was filmed dancing on the ambulance has been revealed as a jock from East Kilbride. Embarrassing and disgraceful, and smashing up an emergency vehicle isn't exactly a good look, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall the BBC news when they played Germany in the Euro 96 semi. After showing scenes of celebration around England when Shearer put them ahead, the reaction they filmed for the German equaliser came from a pub in Glasgow.

ayrshire_nomad Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Currently down south and instead of going out for a few beers and watching footy in the boozer I'll not be venturing out.If I were in France, Belgium or Croatia for their world cup semi final I'd be desperate to go out and soak up the atmosphere. There in lies the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`d think they`ll be quite chilled. Even England can`t lose from 3-1 up at that stage surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wembley '77 pitch dug up and goalpost destroyed vandalism all over west London. We've twice had fighting on the pitch after our Cup Final. Sun comes out spur of the moment party in Kelvingrove Park or Troon beach ends in riot. Big game live on tele on holiday weekend violence in pubs and the home increases. Don't kid yourself we are a lot more alike than you think. One incident from 40 years ago. The rest involving those cuddly, Union Jack waving, Rule Britannia singing chappies, Scottish only by birth. To advance your argument you'd need at least half a dozen examples involving the TA, foreign cities, riot shields and water cannon. Instead you get things like this: I must admit the England support has improved a lot in recent years but that's meant changing to appreciate other cultures, rather than treating them as inferior.

As I said whether you or they like it they're Scottish. Also of the three incidents involving them they only acted alone in one of them. The 2 most recent events mentioned didn't involve them (as a group) at all. We complain when others have a stereotyped view of what a Scotsman is. But it seems some of the worst culprits are nearer to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 With all the talk of how hilarious and great pint throwing celebrations are, was in the pub last night and an English guy threw his pint over a Scottish woman who was celebrating at full time. Very classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in London during that tournament; after the group stage, there was a segment on London Tonight (or whatever the early evening news was called) where they interviewed Scotland fans about whether they'd be supporting England now that Scotland were out. The reaction was unanimously lolzers, which was met with genuine surprise and a bit of mild offence. Bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girth Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 In the end Croatia were slightly better and fitter than us whilst Belgium were legions above us. Well done to France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
