Originally posted by WheelyAvoid the tabloids and other BS media then. I live in England and never read tabloid papers anymore. I just don't take any notice of the complete nonsense that they print. I happened to glance at the front page of the Sun the other day. It had in bold print that 'Macca's' ex used to be a 'sordid' porn star. Then When you turn over to page 3, guess what's there? Are these people for real?
I'm English but don't actually live in the UK and even I'm sick of hearing about Ronney's damn foot and how one minute it's "We are not a one man team" and the next it's "England World cup hopes in tatters" because someone broke a toenail.
I don't think England's world cup winning year is mentioned that much though. I imagine any country that has only won ...[text shortened]... en't in the competition but I don't begrudge the Scots some good humored wind ups.
Nobody should judge the English on the s*** that these gossip mongering, hypocritical, braindead ass wipes print.
Originally posted by Wheelyyou are right about how countries would bring up world cup victories often, that i wouldn't mind if it was kept in England. But we get the same news, etc. thus what is headline news in England is also headline news in Scotland. For instance, some guys foot.

and the commentators are just irritating! 😞
just in!
what a day.
cannot believe a team so unimpressive has taken maximum points. i decided to visit a bar in glasgow called play who were selling drink for the princely sum of one pound sterling, with an additional bonus of complimentary pizza half time.
arrive just after kick off, like i did on saturday (memo to stephens stop being a jinx, arrive in time for kick off, the ingerlunders will lose that way). a number of press photographers take numerous photo's of clientelle with trinidad and toboga jersey's and those with irn bru come on scotland shirts) atmosphere good.
t and t play with that braveheart spirit and limit the chances for the forces of doom and darkness, who were justifiably booed by the thugs, sorry ingerlund supporters. t and t have 2 glorious chances before half time much to the exictement of the bar.
the second half starts off with boasts from the commentary about how this will be ingerlunds year. they struggle. sven proves that he thinks tactics are a peppermint, by making bizarre substitutions. why lennon was not sent on at the start of the second half escapes me, and how he was the third sub seems strange.
t and t look comfortable, and we are all shouting for the t and t manager should send on scotland. then crouch who was simply awful throughout the entire proceedings alludes sancho for the 1 st time and scores from his favoured scoring position - 1 yard.
t and t then chase the game and make ingerlunds defence look nervous, before gerrard scores a belter, yet throughly undeserved goal, leaving a flattering scoreline.
ingerlund have been extremely poor in 2 games. in both they have been dull, efficent, yet ultimately effective.
it will be interesting if either (a) they have adopted the do enough to win the way germany have succeded - this is ominous, or (b) they will be found out soon.
my belief is the latter and when i am down in ingerlund next week, i am confident that the more attack minded and exciting sweden will emerge victorious, and this will see ingerlunds pneultimate game in the competition.
hopefully when i return to scotland they will be home just days after the postcards.
p.s. where's wucky?
Originally posted by chris stephensWell if you think England were dissapointing against Trinadad, then Sweden were hopeless considering they played only 10 men for almost the entire second half. It may be that it would suit England to loss to Sweden if Ecuador get at least a draw against Germany, although I'm not sure what effect that would have in the later rounds, IF England perform well enough to get there, personally I think it's more important to avoid Brazil before the final, If you are going to make the final you have to be able to see off sides like Germany and it is a game I would like to see.

I saw some of the game and don't recognise anything you said.
(Having said that, I don't think England are a good team to watch).
Also, "Exciting Sweden": I haven't heard that one before...
