Why a Scottish people so bitter towards ENGLAND?

Question

Get a life and concentrate on your own teams and stop being bitter about Englands success!

Answer 1

Because we are bigger and better than the Jocks in every single way and they cant take it

Answer 2

ahh who cares? there's rivalry everywhere you go... it's something that's been around for a while. Not many people like the English, but that's their problem - we haven't done any wrong. All those people that are saying we are small minded and arrogant, you do know there are people from every country like that don't you?! some people just have very strong issues against us, it's just a shame most people don't have a good reason for it that's all!

Answer 3

Pure envy.

Answer 4

because we win they dont

Answer 5

Go rent Braveheart.

Answer 6

You just have to read some of the replies to this question from English people to understand why there is animosity.

I am Scottish and worked and lived in England for about 15 years , I have many friends who are English and we have good banter about sport and life in general .

I am happy for my friends sake that their team is doing so well , but you have to accept that personally It doesn't make me jump for joy as I know that the media are going to be in super hype mode for weeks , all of this media is supposed to serve Britain but is heavily biased towards England

Answer 7

lol envy is an admission of inferiority

Answer 8

Uh...how? Why? Until the Europeans came over to manage English teams, 'twas the Scots who made the top teams of England shine and be respected throughout the world - with a couple still doing so.

Could be the Scots are somewhat vexed at England due to the sometimes undeserved praise we sometimes get - or hype, to put it in it's true form.

  What about the fact that the English are 'so bitter' about certain European teams (if it's footy you're talking about)...and there's nobody who tend to get all envious and childish than the English.

Answer 9

cus they want to be like us, they carnt , there not good anough.

Answer 10

They're not. They just get fed up with all those sad small minded English people who like to say c**p and put them down all the time - for no reason at all. Scotland has absolutely no reason to be jealous. :-)

Answer 14

Beats me.  Im Scottish.  Im also a US citizen.  I have never met a Brit in the Brit Army that couldnt make me laugh.  They are hillarious.  Couldnt tell you much about any English teams. Gotta tell you though......   the Brits could keep their humor during the wake of their own mother.  They sure can in a war zone.

Answer 15

Yawn ... the idiots just keep comin'.

Answer 16

I am English living in Scotland for 5 years.

Whenever England play anybody else in football or rugby then you see loads of the england oponants flags and they (the Scots) ALL chear anybody that plays England.

Me and most of my English pals actually wanted Scotland to do well. I was pleased the Jocks beat Ukraine last night.

An England v Scotland final in the rugby would have been fantastic.

We promise as a nation not to keep harping on about 1966 if you promise not to support Englands oposition. Be neutral!!

I am a Brit and proud of it

Answer 17

I'm a Jock living in Reading and I have children who were born here,so I am happy for them that their team is doing well.

English sport will always do better than ours because the government spends more money on it

Scotland has always been used as a dumping ground by the English parliament[poll tax etc ,etc]and that is why the Scottish will always have the auld enemy .

Answer 19

*  Centuries of oppression, do ya think?

Answer 20

I am not Scottish or Brit. I'm asian and all I can say is this is rubbish. No one is harsh towards other, however, they do get tensed up during the game but not to forget, it is only a game. I was watching tele the other night and it was about rugby and inside the changing room during briefing manager, captain and team members were swearing like anything. If they or one does that in the field which by all means is wrong, one shouldn't conclude by saying bla bla is harsh or bitter towards bla bla.

All we should do is enjoy the game..and rugby sure is a cracking game.

Answer 21

Do you know how many rugby supporters turned up to see edinbourgh on the weekend?

1400.

True Scottish rugby supporters seem to total around 5000.

Of these i would guess about 20 are "bitter".

What a massive problem.

I farted yesterday btw. Write a question about that.

Ps) I would conservatively estimate that 20+ million english people absolutely despise both the scottish and welsh.
