Election Year or Fear!

Booing Scottish fans/teams on the basis of previous conflict?? Get real, I'll grant you Germany and Argentina but Scotland is a local derby. Both sets of fans have the same view about each other - remember Andy Murray and "anyone but England'...

Next you'll be telling me that our fans boo Forest because the Sheriff of Nottingham once slaughtered some Derbyshire peasants

Maybe the bloke was hungry?

So predictable. Rather than comment on the real issue you pick up on the tiniest detail just for the sake of it.
Silly of me to suggest that modern animosity - faux or otherwise - between the Scots and the English could in any way originate from battles such as Bannockburn or Culloden, or folk heroes such as Robert the Bruce, Rob Roy and Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Regarding Us v the Hoots, such animosity these days, on a person to person basis rather than country to country is rather limited, there's ALWAYS an edge but in my experience its all good natured. Mac may have experience and disagree. My own efforts recently to stoke the fire have been limited to describing Swarkestone Bridge to some recent culture-hungry visitors from USA as the limit of the Scottish Empire
