Originally posted by Neil Young View PostI have never heard any of them described like that. Not once.
The idea someone is English when they win and British when they lose or British when they win and Scottish when they lose seems a myth to me. Perhaps it was true in the past but I honestly can't remember the last time I heard it and I make a point of listening out for it. Still, it's certainly possible I've missed it.
Without any evidence to the contrary though, Scots sometimes sound disturbingly like Everton fans to me.you obviously dont watch a lot of sport on BBC then. constantly last year F1 commentators talked about lewis and jenson as englands top 2 drivers. when jenson signed for mclaren for next year they reported on the 6 0clock main news as "an english dream team".Originally posted by Norbert Dentressangle View PostRubbish.
You only ever hear British boxer Haye, British motor racing champ Hamilton/Button and British rowers etc. I don't think English is EVER referred to unless it's England doing the winning.
Justifying your bitter Scots tag there mate
it might not be as bad as it once was but it still constantly pisses the **** out of me how anti scottish the media are untill it suits them.People who think there's no good way to die have obviously never heard the phrase 'Drug-fuelled-sex-heart-attack'.

No, once again you're mistaken in thinking the English (in general) care about beating Australia. Cricket apart (and that's very definitely a minority sport), English people really don't care about beating Australia.Originally posted by Harv View PostMuch like the English to us.
WOOO HOOOOOO WE DREW A TEST MATCH






I admit too many people here of a certain generation have a thing about Germany and France and there's a fair bit of anti-Americanism too. That's because there's a rivalry between near-equals or, in the case of the USA, it's clear England (or in fact Britain), is very much the smaller of the two with the inevitable result we can have a small-country mentality at times.
Australia's relationship with England is not, I think, the same as England's relationship with Australia. The same can be said of Scotland and England too. So the Scots, understandably to a fair extent, view the English with scepticism and suspicion - the English don't view Australians like that because we don't have a history of being oppressed by them.
[Of course there is also a case that the English are a convenient scapegoat for the Scots to unite against, conveniently overlooking the fact that Scottish history has been riven by class factors and a struggle between lowlanders and highlanders, with the former seeking to control the latter. I seem to recall more Scots than English fought against Bonnie Prince Charlie at Culloden (although obviously Cumberland was a complete c**t). Nowadays (and then too) most Scottish people have far more in common with most English people - we're all being screwed by much the same people.]
I'd agree Australia may have been 'oppressing' English cricket more often than not but that's it (and not even relevant right now if memory serves, hmmm?
). Swimming? Zzzzzz. Football? Er, no.
The fact you think English people are to any great extent riled by Australia might say more about Australians than it does about English people.
Now, has that useless Scot lost the second set yet?
.
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.
