pete 2,499 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Exactly the point I was making, Pete. I must admit though I sometimes shudder at Dutch commentaries. During a Ski slalom, the commentator said `Bell the Scot representing England` that got me really wound up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I hope you made a formal complaint Funny enough I did but was rubber eared. Another complaint that I made was when the English supporters rioted in France(WC I think) They said British fans had rioted. I asked them to revise it as Scottish, Welsh and NI supporters were not involved. Again I was rubber eared. The Scottish media are not the only dicks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at old WC and Euro games involving Engerland you'll notice their fans carried Union Jack flags in support of their team, hardly a St George's flag to be seen anywhere. Nowadays it's the other way round. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays it's the other way round. On the other hand, I recall being asked in the main square in Lisbon in 2008, why Rangers fans carried the "British Flag" not not the "Scottish Flag" but that is a whole other ball game and it's late............. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexscottislegend 2,084 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Just curious - those who don't like the Glasgow bit being used - are any of you from Glasgow? It's not a dig - just interstested, because I could probably understand a bit better if that was the case.Well, I am. We should be well enough known not to need the Glasgow bit. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
