Think about the film Brave Heart, who joined sides to fight the English lol. Its always been the same for some reason. May have something to do with heritage and that the 3 in question are celtic.

gurteen0 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 LOL. Seriously I agree with you , My wife is English and I'm Irish and unless England is playing Ireland I always watch and support England. I always celebrate St George's day as I live here but due to some bad history people have old outdated opinions about G.B. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 i think its because secretly everybody want to be welsh seriously though. i would support scotland over anybody exept wales and malta. i would support irleand over anybody exept wales and malta. i would support england over outside countrys, but if england are against ireland or scotland i woiuld be behind them because of the celtic conection oh i have to support portugal over england aswell or i dont get no action from the mrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 If you look at Great Britain as a whole Scotland, Ireland and Wales almost don't exist as everything of any major significance happens in England and the South. They may have the feeling they get overlooked, forgotten about and aren't treated equal but I think it's more to do with population density than anything else.

jim Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 For me, it's 'your' press, whenever there's the slightest sniff of an England qualification and an impending big tournament the media hype in the papers and on tv gets a bit sickening. I love my football, but if England were playing Brazil at the same time as NI, the ROI or Wales (not so much Scotland, they're hard to watch! ) were playing just about anyone else and I'd turn over to watch that. It's a real shame too, the premiership is the very best league in the world and Rooney's currently the best player on the planet (that's hard to admit as a Liverpool fan) but the crap from the media that comes along with it sort of ruins it for me.

Bobbeh Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 ^^ As an English person I agree with this 100% - I can understand why people would want the team to fail due to all the hype. It is annoying. I'll always support home nations in any tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrastang Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 You think chelsea fans will support man u in champions league and vice versa?Its just the same for us celts with you lot only bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Good post by jim that pretty much sums up my feelings too. If you want to know why outsiders rarely support the England Rugby team I could probably narrow it down to two words - John Inverdale. What a pompous, biased, smug twat that man is!

stevie_b Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 For me, it's 'your' press, whenever there's the slightest sniff of an England qualification and an impending big tournament the media hype in the papers and on tv gets a bit sickening. I agree as well, and I'm English born-and-bred. This seems to happen for football especially, to the extent that I often hope England's opposition win. I'd get behind the team if they were doing well in the latter stages of the World Cup, but otherwise I kind of revel in the reaction of the press (and the moronic element within the fans) when they lose.

Tony Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 It's not about the press, (as we all know they cant be trusted) it's about OUR island,s against the rest.
