"Why are you Scotts so bitter?"

I've noticed the majority of you want England to lose, more than likely due to bitterness and jealousy. But if things were the other way round, I'd still be cheering on Scotland. I don't see what your problems are. It's not like you're in competetion with us, is it?

I am.

I supported Ireland in their World Cup matches, I always follow Scotland's games.

I look out for all British National Sides results....

When Redgrave and co won gold, every single time they were mentioned, they were "English".

Yet when Rhona and crew won gold at the curling, they were, for some reason, always noted as "British".
It's pathetic.

Hence i said individual....

Mav, I'm English.

I can't believe I'm being accused of being a bitter scot.....

It depends on who you go out to represent.

Football, it's individual countries, but the Olympics, for example, is Great Britain.

Yeah - I mean, it's a rather vague claim. If Scotland win the World Cup, for example, the rest of Britain will want to share in their glory but it will still be Scotland who win it.

Same can be said for the English.

I have noticed that in reporting quite a lot.

Oh please. Now you do sound bitter.
