We love the Scots even if they don't love us. Price of being English

Mate this is it. I live in Yorkshire and it's clear that at all times its understood I'm playing the wee brother archetype when it comes to winding them up about football. Everybody's getting a laugh out of it, it's not serious at all

Only on r/England it's been a hoot min.

Some people do take it seriously.

There's this guy I know who has a heavy Lancashire Accent, born in Lancaster and lived there for 40 years.

He now larps as being Welsh since he moved to Cardiff, unless the Superbowl is on then he identifies as American (because his great grandad was American so now he is apparently)

Hates England in any sport and loudly cheers on whoever is against them, he bets about a tenner that the other team will win for every match this Euro.

Not sure that's true, the Scots have a long standing friendship with scousers, hoodies, mancs, even people from Brum and cockneys.

We love the people, it's the parliament we can't stand (usually).

Not sure a dislike of Westminster is exclusive to anyone, even Londoners

Didn’t someone almost elect lettuce or something? Wild times

u/jamesmatthews6 Jul 13 '24

You're probably thinking of Liz Truss who was briefly prime minister. A newspaper managed to go viral by decorating a lettuce and speculating on whether it would go mouldy before she was removed. The lettuce won.

Who do you think votes for the Parliament?

u/Curious_Lifeguard614 Jul 13 '24

What's Westminster got to do with the England Football team and it's fans though?

A lot of Scottish absolutely hate the English and that's a fact. Cheers.

u/Jak_the_Buddha Jul 12 '24

And a lot of Scots don't. That's also a fact. Also cheers.

And I look forward to my next pint of Heavy.

u/3Cogs Jul 12 '24

Then they're stupid. Ordinarily people hating each other because of things their rulers did in the past makes no sense.

u/Dia-De-Los-Muertos Jul 12 '24

Oh my. Well that goes on all around the world all day every day.

Scotts hate the English and always will.

u/Basementdwell Jul 12 '24

How would you know? You don't even know how to spell Scots.

u/Dia-De-Los-Muertos Jul 13 '24

Wow such a great argument. Well done, you got me big time. I know nothing.

u/ItsInTheBlood1967 Jul 13 '24

It's not that we hate the English. It's the media constantly talking about them even when they're not playing. Every commentator is just England England England.... so don't think it's personal. Personally I love a scouser ...just like us weegies 💚❤️

I was in Cologne after coming off the Eurostar for the Scotland v Switzerland game. Walking through the station chatting to a couple of nice England supporters when another random one started, on his own, “same old Scotland always losing” at 10am when loads of Scot’s next to him thinking eh ok pal.

Walked out to a sea of Scot’s by the cathedral. I turned to the tow I was chatting to and said well that shut him up. He starts going…. And put on your best London accent folks… you wot mate. Feck off! You fecking twat”. All of us carried on sniggering and the two English folks next to me apologised as if they were with him. Ha

I don’t mine you lot. Married one and have live down here for a long time :) I have had loads of friendly banter with colleagues and pals down here. All good.

I think they were all surprised when I defended the “boring football” when explaining England are completing all objectives. Win group… win next game…. Win next. Doing what is needed in tournament football.

I think this inadvertently makes us more annoying to them too

We love Scotland so much that we cleaned up their pollution. They won't have to worry about nasty oil,

u/ExpressBall1 Jul 12 '24

Speak for yourself. Their banter is shite. It's the same 1 exact joke on repeat every major tournament. It's like a country full of redditors.

u/AMPONYO Jul 12 '24

Show us on the doll where Scotland hurt you.

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '24

But really that's no different from us. Hence the German authorities preempting the singing of THAT song.
