@BuyEnglishMade I like this neighbourly rivalry, let’s keep it friendly. Scotland & England influenced each other! i.e Darwin was educated in Scotland. The Bank of England, founded by a Scot. & The Enlightenment (Scottish) broke England free from the only voice that was listened to was the elite
@L__Macfarlane@SirTomHunter I think you will find that the 250 people TH refers to pay PAYE & corporation tax, but also lay a valid claim to tax paid by the employees who would not pay tax in Scotland if companies were moved outside of Scotland. There is investment flight in Scotland and this is an issue.
@stephenjones9 Stephen, maybe recognise your view of responsibilities passed its sell by date some time ago. If you could engage with fans the way Wilson does you would have this pitch-side job. You just come across as a little bitter and out of date.
@AndyBurke_@RugbySco@TEnglishSport How Glasgow were organised and played only highlights Townsend is perhaps this issue behind the Scotland Ireland win ratio.
@AndyBurke_@RugbySco Ok I take back my comments about Townsend and his lates comments about fan expectations “He’s not the rugby messiah. He’s a very naughty boy”
@AndyBurke_ Scotland win! Peter O’Mahony goes mental and punches Sexton as Sexton berates the ref and Farrell announces he’s coaching England!! Oh happy days!!
@Caolan_Scully Are the Irish incapable of motivation unless they seize grievance ! To say Scotland is arrogant when a team/player says they may beat you is actually an incredibly arrogant position by the Irish. There was a time Ireland couldn't buy a win against Scotland
@AndyBurke_@TEnglishSport Townsend is the new Rugby Messiah! And I will not tolerate any other opinion (including my own over the last 6 months). Also how ironic if we beat Ireland but suffer a losing feeling when France win 6 Nations! Its crap when Scotland loose and crap when you win but lose 6 Nations
@stephenjones9 England didn't have a bad game. they were exposed. 31 points on England with a largely disfunction Scot scrum, points that England need oppositions to play to their strengths. Many of us in Scotland felt that England had limitations despite the 12 wins and the media over hyped.
@AndyBurke_@TEnglishSport Only if we blow the Welsh off the park and bag 5 points will those calling for Townsend to go (me included) begin to rethink. At the moment its still a 'one swallow' scenario. Beat Wales and then France could be Townsends redemption, as we could feel we could take Ireland.
@AndyBurke_@TEnglishSport@BBCSounds As much as deep down we all admire Townsend, this admiration is now wearing thin. He seems to be a little tone deaf to how he is now harming his reputation and becoming a a meme of what a failed coach is!
@ClaireFosterPHD Utter Rubbish, I say happy Christmas as to me it has non religious connotations and has become a festive phrase. Just like saying ‘Gesung heit’ when someone sneezes doesn’t mean “I hope you don’t have the plague’
