Re: Scottish Independence
Hell, you'd be surprised at the amount of English people that do it. It's annoying when an American/Australian/Canadian/Whatever person does it. It's downright criminal when and English person does it imo.

Re: Scottish Independence
Mate, all you're doing here is solidifying the common perception of having a chip on your shoulder. It happens all over, the Scots aren't immune to it, for god sake there was an entire stadium of Scots booing during God Save the Queen not so long ago!

Re: Scottish Independence
Of the 60mill+ British only 5mill+ are Scottish. At least they're 77% correct.

Re: Scottish Independence
Bowler Hats, BBC, Winston Churchill, pretty much most things associated with Great Britain are commonly referred to as English or England by foreigners (either correctly or mistakenly), sense of humour, comedy, invention of most modern day sports, rich history, royal family
just to name a few

Re: Scottish Independence
Nope. I would never do that.
Perhaps it has something to do with the anti Scottish lyrics? Or perhaps it has something to do with how boring "God save the Queen" is. Now look at the Brazilian national anthem. That's a proper one.
As it happens, I have been to one football game in my life. And I was pretty much dragged to that. It was Scotland V Italy. The crowd were singing "We hate England" pretty much the whole time. I was puzzled. At one point, I even shouted "They're not even playing England".
Got a few funny looks at that. But I'm guessing you were talking about a Football crowd. I won't even begin to defend them. Anyone that tries to turn a simple game into an excuse for violence is not my kind of person.
