[QUOTE="Crapspray, post: 622448, member: 58918"] I think you're overplaying it a bit. As an Englishman who's lived in Scotland for seven years, the vast majority don't really care; it's only the mouthbreathers who make all the noise. They also seem to fill Murrayfield with a lot of adolescents, who are a bit more impetuous with their nationalism. And I'd rather they have the bands march over the pitch than some American-style bint warble out God Save The Queen/Flower of Scotland- somewhat misunderstanding the point of a national anthem. The only anti-English thing that is fairly common is anyone-but-England, as was evidenced in the pub last week for the France game. Still, I enjoyed a quiet drink this weekend... On the rugby side, I don't think -aside from Johnson- they've picked bad coaches. Andy Robinson was no slouch (you could see his frustration every time they played) and Cotter's a good coach too. The main problem is restricting their clubs to the central belt, which is the football heartlands of Scotland. Lowlands/Highlands would have created wider appeal. [/QUOTE]
