    The nonsense media love in with the 'Tartan Army', much like other home nation sets of fans at International tournaments. They are no different to English fans when abroad, take any of their behavior and swap the shirt for one with 3 Lions and the headlines change.
    England fans don’t play the bagpipes or wear skirts though (apart from some of the women).

    Hear there was anglophobia towards us in Boston. Irish bars banning our fans. Drink laws changed back to how it normally is where as for the Scots it was relaxed when they were there.

    Like the Wales fans who thought they were brilliant banter because they wore bucket hats.

    I get it, our old reputation precedes us and we aren't well liked globally, we don't try to be. 

    Its the 'stole the hearts of the locals' media narrative that grind my gears - they sat and had a beer in the sun and sung a few songs.... like every other nation at the WC. 

    Same as in the Euros... ignoring the Scottish fan rampages around London and the Leicester Sq takeovers fueled by marching powder.

    For balance I also cringe at our fans with the tired old It's Coming Home, Sweet Caroline and Hey Jude

    Another enquiry lasting ages,and taking place years after the events come to and end,with ,once again,various people in high positions not doing their jobs(Nottingham hospital).Babies have died through negligence,and ignorance,and yet    no one gets their collar felt.
    The Post office scandal,Grenfell tower,when oh when are the people responsible for these events going to get banged up.,people have died,or had their lives ruined,those responsible walk free.
    One good bit of news,a big game hunter got murdered,now he knows how all those beautiful innocent animals that he killed felt.
