England v Scotland about 10 years ago at Wembley, I took my 8 year old nephew to his first England game. On the tube it's fair to say quite a few Scots had had one too many.
Nephew turns to me and asks (a bit too loudly)
"Uncle Lagos, are all Scotsmen drunkards?"
I genuinely have no issues with them, get absolutely slaughtered but without the nasty side you often see with England fans. But yeah, their team are crap. |  |

The strange thing about Scotland is that there are still remnants of the Calvinist teetotal/no joy tendency, but clearly they don't follow the Scottish national team.
My mother probably fell into that category, as did one of my ancestors who was a member of the Wee Wee Frees, a breakaway from the Wee Frees who broke away from the Church of Scotland because it wasn't God-fearing enough.
But these days the Calvinist churches have a rapidly diminishing influence, with the exception of Western Isles. [Post edited 24 Jun 2024 11:05]

I think this comparison is really harsh on Scotland. They’re not THAT sh1t. |  |

It would be amusing to find that, once the group stages are complete, that a draw would've been enough to go through after all. |  |

Still celebrating a single goal against a big team decades ago. |  |

They certainly seem to share the same aversion to getting remotely close to anything made of precious metals.
I had Nodge more down as the Transylvania of the domestic leagues; a very backward place where things made of silver are viewed as dangerous and to be avoided at all costs, a closed society of large families and, due to their lack of impact on the rest of the world, no-one can be absolutely sure that they really exist apart from as some kind of a dark joke.

One could argue that Ipswich are the equivalent of England ?
Constantly harking back to long distant success, unpleasant supporters very quick to turn on ‘their’ team, bouyed by recent success and a media darling manager soon to depart. |  |
