sheer hatred of them simple ,the way there politicians think thay own scotland,there arrogance ,and the way thay have always belittle scotland ,and thay only got that far by beating nobodies i would have expected scotland to get to the semi final if we were in there position ,thay got an easy lucky run that will never happen again ,one good thing out of this thay will now think that team is up there with the best overconfidence will be bubbling from thm i just cant wait until it all crashes down as thay dont seem to realise thay only beat minor nations at the world cup no one of any note .
