    Difference being the fervour with which Scots fans get worked up about not winning, treating it as if it WAS a win, and Leeds fans who recognised the team wasn't good, wasn't going to win, but supported anyway.

    (And the meedja drivel about the game simply compounds the fans delusion ("can be proud of the team" etc, when they were comprehensively beaten))

    One is delusion, the other is loyalty (IMHO).

    Agree on the "not supporting the buggest" etc, but there's no getting away from the facts, that they find it nigh on impossible to score, haven't got out of the group stage (again!), yet Wales, with half the population of our cousins North of the border, have done both (and the Welsh national rugby side aren't too bad either!)
