Shall I be supporting England….erm…No!! Of course not.
FSL has made our point for us regarding biased commentary etc and how deeply annoying it is. The difference is that the Scottish commentators are only broadcast in Scotland so the rest of the UK do not have to listen, unless they happen to be in Scotland at the time. In the world cup we shall have the hateful Clive Tyldsley and John "Motty" Motson broadcasting their biased commentary to the entire UK like it or not. How would England fans feel if they had to listen to the Germans coverage celebrating German goals/wins etc.
I have no problem with the England players, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard & Michael Owen for example come across as perfectly decent & reasonable men but the media and commentators make it unbearable with their "Johnny Foreigner" attitude, as if we were still in Imperial times and the English are the superior race. If that was all confined to England’s borders then fair enough but they broadcast to a UK audience and the rest of us dont want to hear it. The sooner they are out the sooner we can all relax and enjoy the rest of the tournament.

Ah yes, Gotham the heroin capital of Europe. If only we had someone with an Adam West as Batman avatar to clean up this town !
So you’ve been to my place have you Grassy ;) From the back of my house you could walk over the rolling fields of east lothian skirting old mining vllages and farms until you would eventually fall into the North Sea somewhere between Dunbar and Eyemouth. Not a Wimpy estate though, there are more than 3.5 inches between me and the next house !
Leithers dream of Wimpy estates………good burglary options for nicking their heroin money :biggrin:
In my youth I worked in the Ladbrokes in Cockburn street, completely dead shop apart from waiters and restaurant staff getting paid cash and squandering their wad in 15 exhilarating minutes. Never had the pleasure of working in the Leith shops though Elm Row was the HQ for the area and thats on the way down to Leith, just about where the smell begins.
I also worked in Tyncastle and Easter Road football grounds, nothing like being 18 years old and left to singlehandedly take all the bets in the away end when the old firm came to town. Animals !!!
How I miss the stench of stale alcohol breath and unwiped arse of 6000 Rangers/Celtic fans all simultaneously trying to have 20 notes on Pierre Van Hooijdonk/Brian Laudrup being first golascorer while trying not to vomit on each other. Of course they all want their bet on with 5 seconds to go until kick off and it’s my fault they cant all get on and inevitably big Pierre/Brian would put one away in the first 90 seconds just as the hardest man in Europe is handing me his coupon……….too late pal, did you fancy him ? Oh thats a shame. My, what a big knife that is and whats that, you’re best mates with some of Glasgows most notorious gangsters ! Pull the shutter down grab the takings and run like buggery around the stadium to hand over the loot to the bosses. I deseved danger money never mind £4.00 an hour and my bus fares !

You either love them or hate them but I reckon Jack White is genius/god (delete as appropriate).
I think I know the individual you refer to. Didn’t he often wear a bright canary yellow t-shirt whatever the weather. He looked like he had suffered a hard life to me !
