Nah! 

 

Express a "genuine" desire for Scotland to do well. Scots won't know if you're just being patronising to a small nation, so it will mess with their heads. 

(Though I genuinely do want them to qualify and do well - within reason - despite being amused at the misery when they don't....)

Pat them on the head when they qualify. "Well done!". 

[Alf Bentley]

I see Iraq have qualified for the inter-continental playoffs, beating UAE with a penalty in the 17th minute of added time....

 

Sounds like the Emirs from the Emirates made the ref an insultingly low offer of petrodollars....

Why? could you see Scotland saying "hope England do well"

 

It's bit like saying "hope Forest do well in the europa league"

 

We don't want another Euro 2016, where ended up being knocked before both Republic Of Ireland and Wales. 

England should be expected to do well, feel sorry a bit for Scotland and not bothered if they win or not but wouldn't mind seeing them get the result, saying that I've never met a Scottish person so

The amount of coverage that you get up here is the main reason we hate you so much. If you imagine the coverage that all the top 6 teams get, add it together, times it by about 20... thats what it's like. That is why we don't want you to be successful because it is litteraly in every form of media, non stop. 

 

Not to mention all those pundits that become unbearable when their team is doing well? They all support the same team in this case.

Yes, which means we cheer against each other's team. I love Scotland as a country, in some ways more than England, but I hope they get smashed 6-0 every time they play, and quite rightly they feel the same about us. 

Yip, exactly, but I hope it's 7 to whoever England play 😀

The Lionesses get shown on STV.......as does every England game. 

 

It's only this campaign that Scotlamd have not been on PPV. 

 

 

 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Scotland's luck in this group stage ends tonight. 1-4 Denmark. 

[Vacamion]

 

Feel sorry for those Mascots, shivering.  Its fvckin baltic here, proper sleeting.  

 

Poor wee buggers.

Ready to back Scotland, from what I can recall it can be hard work though they do seem better set this time to make it through.

 

For those looking to watch on TV you can find it on:-

 

Sports Channel - First 20 minutes

Drama Channel - Minutes 21-60 as they go 1-0 up

Fantasy Channel - Minutes 61-75 as they go 2 up.

Comedy Channel - Having got into great position, point gun at foot and pull trigger. 2-1, 2-2,

Horror Channel - Last five minutes, miss an open goal, a sending off, things going pear shaped left right and centre.

Nostalgia /History Channel - Added time, Gannon-Doak replicates Archie Gemmil’s weaving run to score the winner. 
 

……Or BBC2

[Tommy Fresh]

Great goal

[Vacamion]

[RowlattsFox]

Incredible goal.

[rugbyblue]

Never mind the goal, it was the Danish pundit with the Scottish accent that threw me 😂
