@edballs 2014 “I feverntly hope that Scotland is still part of the UK” @Kevin_Maguire 2014 “We care deeply and we desperately want Scotland to remain part of Britain” so that we can other them and sneer at them to make ourselves feel superior after taking them out of the EU #GMB
Is it unfair for Scottish people to get a day off on Monday for the FIFA World Cup while the rest of the UK will be hard at work?
The King has approved a one-off bank holiday on Monday - but not for everyone!
@ramonagusta@KeithGordon1047@ChrisMusson@conor_matchett Cut us loose then patriarchal daddy; surely right wing philosophy means that we should be left to stand on our own two feet? Inconsistent for you to want to to subsidise something unprofitable. Maybe there’s something financially in this for London beyond acting as a superior?
@offtheballbbc When the team you’re supporting isn’t competing. Left the Allianz Arena after about 60 minutes when Scotland were 3 down and a man down. I didn’t need the humiliation.
@pieandbov Why the use of the word ‘up’? Surely ‘…for the game here.’ I appreciate we’re used to southern sneering but interesting how ingrained that becomes.
@EwenDCameron The most harmonious squad we’ve had. Everyone pulling in the same direction. It could upset the other players that someone has been left out. When was the last time a Scotland player faked an injury to miss a camp; common not so long ago. After WC Barnes starts being ‘injured’
@EwenDCameron No, he’s a fine footballer and he’d definitely give us an option we don’t have but at what cost? Squad harmony is a hard-won thing. Why should someone who’s got us there lose out to someone who hasn’t. If he had made overtures at the start of the campaign then fine but not now.
@Gerdundula1@ikeijeh I'd be just delighted if England kicked us out of the union. Seems a more likely route these days - Brexit and many other things have shown us - the English are much more self-assured than the Scots. I don't much mind how it happens as long as it does. Be my guest - kick us out.
@Nigelperry67429@ikeijeh Beware of people who reduce complex issues into simple explanations. Scotland qualified for Italia '90 with Yugoslavia at the expense of France. Scotland played Costa Rica, Brazil and Sweden. Other than that your argument must be sound.
Tony Blair used to whine that he never really compared the Scottish Parliament to an “English Parish Council”, it was only the nasty Scottish press who twisted his remarks! In fact, he did so compare. (1/5)
Gabby Logan should stop fucking referring to Scotland as 'they'. I'm watching Scotland on BBC Scotland in Scotland and I don't fucking want to be othered in my own living room
