MadAndy71 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Up here in Scotland, loads of footy is on the TV as you would expect but there is a heck of a lot of English games on. When I was in England, you could count the number of Scottish matches aired on one hand. Its seems the English only like to broadcast their own nation. When Seb Coe (showing my age) was taking all the podium finishes, it was this Englishman..bla bla bla But as soon as Alan Wells won his medal...it was a British person:D Just an observation:) Quote
Paul Smith Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 when i stayed up/over there the beeb was affectionately known as the EBC;) and if they loose suddenly they become Scottish again:rolleyes: Quote
GaRRy Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Personally I dont have a problem at all. If the Scots dont like the English stuff on their TV's dont effing watch it and then I bet its changed. I am getting fed up with the scots/welsh/irish etc keeping on that we have a superiority complex. More like they are have a inferiority complex. And im not taking anything away from them as lets face it the BRITISH empire would not of become what it once was with out their help. Why should I as a English man be constantly expected to apologise for a ) being English and B) for things that happened hundreds of years before I was born. stands back and awaits the usual irrational abuse Quote
MadAndy71 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 Personally I dont have a problem at all. If the Scots dont like the English stuff on their TV's dont effing watch it and then I bet its changed. But they do watch it Garry. Its just seems to be only the english that watch english sport.

Skullfish Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 stands back and awaits the usual irrational abuse The English are all pansys. The Welsh are descended from a notational God figure. The Scottish have an innate genetic ability to withstand the cold, and are therefore evolutionarily superior to you. The Irish smell of guiness. You look faintly like a lychee. I am the spirit of Tutankhamun reincarnated with the wings of a moose. Flibbertygibbet. Pow-wowwww. My work here is done. Quote
the_lone_wolf Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 stands back and awaits the usual irrational abuse The English are all pansys. to quote the genius of Flanders and Swann: The English, the English, the English are best I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest. The Scotsman is mean, as we're all well aware And bony and blotchy and covered with hair He eats salty porridge, he works all the day And he hasn't got bishops to show him the way! The Irishman now our contempt is beneath He sleeps in his boots and he lies through his teeth He blows up policemen, or so I have heard And blames it on Cromwell and William the Third! The Welshman's dishonest and cheats when he can And little and dark, more like monkey than man He works underground with a lamp in his hat And he sings far too loud, far too often, and flat! The English, the English, the English are best So up with the English and down with the rest. Quote
zimmer Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 I enjoy watching football, so the more games (be they English games or not) the merrier. Garry no one is expecting you to apologise for anything. The point was, how many Scottish football games do you see on your TV doon sooth (if you watch football that is) Quote

The Scotsman is mean, he learnt to survive For the English royals would skin him alive He eats salty porridge, he works all the day And he need not gay clergy to “show” him the way! The Irishman now your contempt made a foe He sleeps in his boots and he wants you to go He fights for injustice and wants to be heard And blames it on all of the English turds The Welshman is honest a real man of the vale Loves his rugby the celts and a tall tale He works underground with a lamp in his hat Forced down the mines to keep the runts fat!

Ok on that basis how much american/italian/spanish/german/dutch/uncle tom cobblers and all football can you see in England (or Scotland for that matter). Sorry Andy this is a dumb question drummed into your head by disgruntled Scots you need to get home real soon Quote
The Geoff Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 This would bother me if it wasn't for the fact that hardly anything is worth watching any more. F1: the world's fastest billboards Football: the world's most highly paid faller-overs Everything else: We can't be arsed making original, imaginative TV, so phone us on this premium rate number and we can claim our pi$$-poor programme was all your fault. I can't believe that the publicity over phone-in quiz's recently hasn't focused on the muppets who call....personaly I find it hilarious that there's such an outcry....you only just realised it all one big rip-off?!?! The boy Hadlow done good over the last few years. I'm chuffed he's British, and flying for a British based company. I'd rather he was Scottish, but I'm happy to see him do well. The boys Beaven or Peppiette may well do the same kind of thing - they're Scottish and I'll be even more chuffed. Still British. Better than being a Martian eh? Quote

Sorry Andy this is a dumb question drummed into your head by disgruntled Scots you need to get home real soon Dumb eh Last time I checked though ... america, italy, spain, germany and holland didn't class themselves as UK ... not sure about Uncle Tom's nationality. But whilst on the subject ... that's another point to note ... Scots don't get disgruntled about it. They enjoy their footie ... full stop ... Some have even been known to cheer England on ... And FYI ... I am home Quote

I am eengleesh in scotland so I have been on both sides of the fence!! yes I am a sweaty sock (we met at StAndrews...Jim) I am also one of the few who don't complain about English football on the box up here. I also cheer England on at the cricket:eek: @ Gary, I am far from disgruntled, I have no problem with our neighbours from doon sooth. I also watch Dutch, Italian, spanish and any football match that might be on. Quote

Brother Dave Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Up here in Scotland, loads of footy is on the TV as you would expect but there is a heck of a lot of English games on. When I was in England, you could count the number of Scottish matches aired on one hand. Its seems the English only like to broadcast their own nation. When Seb Coe (showing my age) was taking all the podium finishes, it was this Englishman..bla bla bla But as soon as Alan Wells won his medal...it was a British person:D Just an observation:) watch the weather sometimes thats great. And here is the forecast for today , england will be sunny in most parts and remain warm while the rest of Britain will be cloudy. Channel 4 do this alot. But yeah Andy I know what ya mean after spending 14 yrs up in Scotland. Quote

I am not even a footy fan...just see or hear..a lot of scots coming into work and say...see Chelsea last night..see man u last night but I know what you mean about the weather. Mind you, here on the NE, we dont get the rain the west and central belt get but its a little cooler. Get down to the borders and its tropical:D Quote
