crichiejambos Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Would it bother anybody too much if England were to get their act the gether and actually win it! Must admit in past tournaments I've willed them to get beat,no so much the players themselves as individuals but the media and commentators this time round a really don't think it would bother me,they win,they will have deserved cos they can't fluke a win in this tournament,there's good teams in it!

Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I was born in Edinburgh but both my parents are English and I live down here now so I'm always in for an England win. Can't see them doing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I'm going to back them using some of my winnings from the Scottish Cup. I normally back on events I don't want to happen although I actually do fancy them to do well this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftBack Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 if you support a football team you automatically have a team that is your natural rival and for whom you hope win sweet fa and get humped as often as possible. For Hearts its Hibs and for Scotland (wales and northern Ireland) its England. Personally I hope England lose every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I still want England to lose every game, but I think Hibs winning the cup has desensitised me to this kind of thing. Won't be too bothered if they win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Imagine the media, commentators and pundits. For that reason no ta. This - unfortunately. When tournament is on, want them to progress as more interesting. But I'm planning on living for around another 30-40 years and would rather not hear about it every one of those days if they win it.

Doc Rob Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 10 years ago I'd have been devastated if they won anything. Right now I couldn't really give a stuff. If they win it then they will have deserved to win it. Fair play. I wasn't that fussed about Hibs either. Having said that, 10 years ago I lived in England and the hype and the endless flags got very wearing. Now I live in Wales and I'm finding their excitement more annoying, though entirely understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamtartan74 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 For the simple fact I will be at Wembley in November the thought of them winning it and letting us know all about it is a little off putting to say the least, that said though, this current group of players are pretty bloody good and I fear they have an outside chance. Feck England hope they get pumped rotten every game. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 England are like Hibs to me atm- an irrelevance, don't want them to win, if they do, meh. when they get beat it puts a smile on my face. Won't ruin or make my day either way. I don't care enough to start a thread on them, but care just enough to answer on it. They won't win it anyway, imo they aren't good enough.

Jambos_1874 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I actually don't mind England. I follow the EPL so know their players and am used to seeing them week-in-week-out; that's not the case with any other country competing in the tournament. BUT, the media make me want them to get absolutely rogered in every game they play. It is absolutely painful. Say what you like about the Tartan Army, but we/they follow the team through good and bad whereas there seems to be a bizarre seasonal patriotism in England which is linked to competing in the World Cup or Euros.

martoon Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I used to be "anyone but England". Roared with relief when they were turfed on pens by Germany (West) in 1990 and again in 1996. Couldn't care less now. Whether it's maturity, indifference or Scotland's devolution (and inevitable independence ?), I'm not really sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't have an issue with the media just because they big up their team. Despite wanting them to do well, it doesn't stop me from laughing my ****** off when the wheels come off!
