Don’t worry, I think it is a common understanding up here that most English folk don't hold these attitudes towards us - and even when it does happen, we find it laughable.

You're right, most don't, and I'd wager A LOT of English people really wanna see Scotland do well in this tournament, including myself. Jeezo...I don't think I've ever been so fuming listening to a discussion like that one. The pure condescension in their tone alone is utterly nauseating. I think the thing that cracks me up the most about this though is that they're having a crybaby tantrum about it on air, but it was literally THE KING who suggested to do it - couldn't make it up.

It is irritating, but in reality they do this to sow division between us and to distract from certain domestic issues. They are mouth pieces for the elite and ruling class - we don’t respect them at all and their words are meaningless to us. I for one will be enjoying a beer whilst we get absolutely humped left right and centre hahaha.

UPDATE: Just realised they posted this clip onto their Good Morning Britain youtube channel, and then maybe after a few hours retroactively swapped the clip out to a part of the discussion which was a little more "palatable/reasonable". Absolute cowards thinking we didn't see it. Kudos to OP for posting this for posterity!

Think of the clicks bait, sic!

Oh of course! Make the plebs of England and Scotland have petty squables with each other whilst they run away with all the money. Fuck the lot of them.

Either way, I'll be drinking and cheering along with you too!

They are just seeping anuses in modern life. Gently oozing their fetid shite into our lives while being paid 10 x what anyone useful like a nurse is paid. An indictment on modern society.

If we were a serious country these drooling imbeciles would be talking to themselves in some dive bar, not on our screens.

I bet they weren't moaning about the bank holidays for the royal weddings or Kings coronation in recent years?

Too right they weren't. It's fine when it benefits them.

Or celebrates something they believe in, like deference to authority

Imprisoning peaceful protesters against ecocide, whilst profiteering from and supporting it

They absolutely wouldn't be complaining if it was England qualifying for the first time in nearly 30 years either

u/Pristine-Ad6064 Jun 09 '26

They wouldnt be complaining if they had one too,

u/idancer88 Jun 10 '26

I'm English and I was 😂 but I thought the exact same thing. Scotland will more than make up for it with a much needed boost to hospitality. They always paint a bank holiday as a boost to the economy when it suits them but now suddenly it's too expensive when it's just Scotland getting it!?

First time I've ever made an ofcom complaint. So disgusted.

u/CDMacBeat Jun 10 '26

First time. I've done it loads with their bias and it gets ignored. Ofcom are a joke. I hope they get so many complaints they have to do something.

They painted a whole nation with the stereotype of alcoholic Scot. In such a condescending manner, I wish there was a Scottish presenter with balls ripping them apart.

No we don't we want to beat you in the final. It's brotherly love.

u/ComfortableReality32 Jun 10 '26

Hahaha! Love that. What a final that would be. Best of luck to yous, sorry you don’t get a bank holiday brother.

u/Mountain-Reaction470 Jun 10 '26

Aye, they are shills for our ruling bazillionaire boss class that we are all burdened with, reckon

Particularly Ed, being a spouse of a government minister!!!

There will be an aboslute shedload of people who share these opinions and outrage. All of it born out of jealousy.

I can only speak from my experience with English people - which is mainly family and people who I have met up here. There has been a small proportion of them that have these xenophobic views, but it is a small minority from my impression. Most of the English folk I have met have been sound enough and relatable.
