Got back from Glasgow late last night and I am gutted. Even more so that I predicted that we wouldnt make it but england would. But Saturday night I finally realised after years of saying " I support two teams, Scotland and whoever is playing england", I dont really care about england any more.
English football exists in its own little bubble and thinks its much better than everyone else's. Whether its "The premiereleague is the best in the world" or thinking the national team is actually alot better than it really is.
As for how bad Scotland are... Id love to have seen how england would have done in our group. It always amazes me how england really struggled to qualify out of arguabley the easiest qualifying draw out of the lot.
Another thing is the whole thing that as players are scottish they cant be as good as the english. If Gordon was English the whole country would be masturbating over how good he is, but as he is scottish, no-one south of he border notices. Alan hutton has turned into a top class rightback and I heard a rumour over the weekend that Man Yoo were sniffing about. McManus is a top class centre back who is head and shoulders above Jolean fucking Lescott and quite possibly on a par with John Terry. But again, he isnt english is he??? :-))(
Oh and for the record 99% of Scotland fans dont hate the english. granted some idiots do. Most want to see england get beat as you are our biggest rivals, just the same way you love to se germany or argentina get beat. And a large proportion dont really give a flying fuck either way, but do get pissed off at having everything that is england rammed down our throats.
Anyway. Cant wait for the WC draw. After our great improvment over the last couple of years, and in moving up to the 2nd seeding pot again, I fully expect to get at least a play off place for 2010, and depending on who we get as first seeds, possibly even automatic qualification.

That's not our fault, i think you should be blaming the English media who make us out as the world class side that we aint. |

To me, Scotland are the international Oxford. I don't want them to qualify for anything but the way they don't qualify is always greatly entertaining. Pre Vogts they used to screw it up at the last minute. Under Vogts they just got straight down to work and screwed up from the first minute - now they're back to screwing it up at the last minute again. The nat=ural order of thnigs has been restored.
Saying that England are crap at the moment. I did enjoy the comments about Beckham's delivery. It must be really difficult to find a 6' 7 from a corner - once. Is this the same Scotland who, up until recently had qualified for more World cups than england, depsite being 10 times smaller? |

World in Motion is a classic. No-one can deny that. Twenty times better than 3 lions.  |
