Shame of Scotland

[lily.]

This story in the news today brings shame to Scotland. I'm appalled by the actions of these thugs, as are most other Scots.

I can argue the Scotland/England thing as much as the next guy (as is obvious by my banner etc.), but in a light-hearted way.

These people make me sick. :sad:

Prime Minister condemns Scots racists who attacked England fans (http://www.scotlandtoday.tv/content/default.asp?page=s1_1_1&newsid=11949)

That it shocking

Very disapponting on those Scots who would go that far

[lily.]

I just hope people don't think we are all like that Davie. :sad:

[Pipergun]

I, for one, certainly don't! It sad that it just takes an isolated number of rebels to spoil an amicable relationship that was just based on a bit of humerous banter! :rolleyes:

[Corkie]

i dont think think that like you say its just banter and stuff not like your going to go rioting

[lily.]

Unfortunately Corkie, there will always be idiots who let the side down. :nono:

As for me, I'm happy to have a wee wind-up on here with my flags & stuff. I'm not anti-English in the slightest. It's just a bit of a laugh, isn't it. :thumbs:

[Corkie]

whoops i didnt mean it like that i know some are doing it. i meant people on tibb are just having a laugh its a bit stupid and with me being half scotish i am dissapointed that people can do something like that..

[lily.]

Yup. Me too.

I don't even notice the English / Scottish rivalry - probably because I live closer to France than Scotland lol :laugh:
But yeah, this shouldn't happen :nono:

[Siouxsie]

luv the scots

[elli]

I found this story absolutely shocking! My husbands family are Scottish and like Stropz, like to joke about the Scottish/English rivalry. But, being English, I have never experienced anything but love and kindness from them and also the people in their village in Ayrshire.

It is such a shame that this small minority of losers reflect badly on a whole nation :sad:

Sadly, this is a huge part of life these days.

If England play Holland in the QF, it's not gonna be good, although i'm bigger than everyone else:tongue:

[Tanser_Man]

You get the scum where-ever you go.

I have a few friends up in Edinburgh and there alright, have banter and generally say anything bad about the english they can! But that's all it is, banter!

It's a shame the minority will tarnish the reputation of the majority.

In future, Stropz... leave people in england tops alone. Bully.

It's only the to$$ers in Aston Villa tops I go after. I like to throw eggs at them. :tongue:

[babybay]

its a shame. i know the scots arent like that you get idioits like that everywere. i love the scots their soo friendly lol

[lily.]

It's a shame that they reflect badly on the whole nation. To be fair it's just like the press etc. saying things like "The England supporters cant behave abroad". It's not fair to generalise. Sure, some of the England supporters misbehave.. but to tar everyone with the same brush is not acceptable. :nono:

Another thing... I played a Scottish man at Fifa on xbox live and i asked him about all these england fans being attacked for wearing the shirt and he said it's crazy but you get them sort or 'no go' areas for english people in scotland.

Is that true? :puzzled:

Yes, it is true. For example, the only place English kids can go to school without fear of being beaten up would be the school I go to. And there's the Northfield area up here, it's really rough anyways, and most English people avoid it completely.

Its absolutly shocking i mean there was a 9 year old and his Dad that got attcked when they were in a park because they were wearing an England shirt..i wear my England kit with pride and it makes me sick when other England fans cant wear theres without fear of gettin attacked find these yobs lock them up and throw away the key thats what i say!

[Bells]

That really is sickening, but having lived in Scotland for 3 years when I was little, I know how lovely the people are so of course reading stories like that certainly won't change it. Any behaviour like that from a person from any country however is unacceptable! It's so sad to read stories like this.

[BB-Rocks]

Theirs people in my town who wear England tops here and when i was on the train and heard people saying 'Their brave doing that' then laughing.

Im not supporting England during the World Cup, and its not that i dont like English cause i have english cousins etc. Just because im not supporting them, doesnt mean i want anyone to get hurt. Knowone deserves any of that crap.

[andybigbro]

i am scottish but think it is awwful

england are our neighbours and we should appreciate them

although scottish people may not want england 2 win violence is not the answer
