    I'm not sure what your point is or whether it has anything to do with what I said.


    They won't win it though. That's the bottom line.


    Nothing. But it's going to be hilarious when they don't as they've convinced themselves it's 100% happening when it's still unlikely they will.
    Your enemies failure doesn't make you a success.

    If you get off on other people's disappointment, that's up to you..

    I'm almost edging towards wanting them to get to the Final to see them humped senseless by France or Belgium.

    I'd love to see a total bloodbath on the pitch, a real 3 or 4 pumping by the first decent team they've come up against.

    Men women and children from Carlisle to Torquay greetin' and depressed for weeks on end, it would be glorious.

    I'm down south now and it's really horrible. Unbearable. Full of ****s.

    And the football isn't helping either.
    That made me chuckle!

    1. How many? have you done a poll? what is the count? Pure propaganda.
    2. You're still not sure then?

    Football is all about rivalries. Are you saying you don't find it funny when hearts lose? I personally love seeing hearts, Celtic, rangers and England lose games of football as I cannot stand any of them in a footballing sense.

    Only took about ten seconds into last night's Eastenders before Danny Dyer (the pricks prick) was singing 'It's Coming Home'

    Fingers crossed that Croatia turn them over. I will then look forward to Eastenders on Thursday.

    Yeah, I honestly don't get off on it. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

    Seems a bit petty and twisted to me.

    I'm pretty sure you're in a minority that doesn't understand football rivalries but fair enough

    If someone doesn't have the same opinion as you on something, I would say it is a stretch to think that they just don't understand it.

    Joy of life, accepting that other people have different views, even ones we find hard to understand!

    Oh, I get rivalries, I just don't get how you can take pleasure in other fans disappointment, when the game is nothing to do with us.

    Pretty empty celebrating them failing to do what we can't come close to. Just shows us as being small minded.

    A bit like that Yam weirdo that used to stand on the motorway bridge at Livingston with a big Hearts flag when we'd lost a game at Hampden.

    Or even worse, those no marks that used to pay to get into ER when we were in the Championship. That just points to very small minded men, desperately wanting to be noticed

    I'm pretty sure, you're not one of those though.

    The “It’s coming home” stuff is just a bit of hopeful fun. Don’t get me wrong I think it’ll be a laugh when they lose, but some people are a bit OTT.




    I've just come back from the South of England and didn't encounter anybody that was so arrogant as to think they'd already won the thing.

    Some of the newspapers, on the other hand, have it done and dusted, but who pays much attention to them (especially the Sun)

    All I said was I like seeing those sides lose as I find the meltdown from their respective supports hilarious.i don't see how that's sad and pathetic. Surely the majority of hibs fans want to see hearts lose and find it funny when they do?

    I might be accused of being a bitter twisted Scot but a combnation of a relatively easy group,and the luck of the draw has landed them in the semi finals.

    My opinion is that the first half decent team they meet will put them away.

    Step forward Croatia.

    All this Waistcoat Wednesday , cancel Wimbledon, close the stores early nonsense will evaporate and Mr Southgate will be rounded on by a public which has been whipped into a false sense of expectancy and triumphalism.

    Feels better to have got that off my chest!
    Don’t think Croatia have played well last 2 games but they’ll never have a better chance to get to a World Cup final than tomorrow,England have had it easy,don’t think their big players have even played that well,hopefully Croatia do the business!

    You seem to be taking it abit more seriously than you should. It's abit of sporting rivalry, nothing more nothing less.

    I had one of the best nights of my life one sunny Saturday in 1986, you obviously didn't.

    We really are a bitter bunch.

    Living in England it can be a bit annoying but then you see something like this and remember as long as it makes some people happy fair enough.

    I’ve lived in England the last 23 years on and off, I’ts the first time I’ve actually supported them in anything, fair to say I’’m enjoying the experience and getting caught up in the excitement, maybe my fellow countrymen who live in England like myself should just embrace it instead of carrying the chip on the shoulder.

    I was unfortunate enough to be down south when they annihilated the mighty Tunisia. Luckily I left for home two days later but the euphoria and triumphalism was bad enough then, so god only knows what it must be like as we await tomorrow's showdown

    Hopefully tonight's match may be of sufficient good standard to perhaps instil at least a little degree of trepidation, but I doubt it.

    Sir Harry and his knights in shining armour are ready to battle the infidels and put them to the sword, or so the media would have us believe.

    I think the backlash will be bitter, bilious and prolonged.

    I, for one, canny wait!

    Seriously, as a Scot I sometimes wonder why I choose to live in this backward-thinking, predominantly anti-English nation of self-pitying souls with a collective chip-on-its-shoulders and a raging inferiority complex.

    The amount of times I have heard this line from a fellow Scot.
    If it were only true and actually confined to sport.
    Unfortunately, the anti-English sentiment runs deeper and permeates every level of Scottish society outwith sport.

    Personally speaking as a bar manager in Cheltenham I hope they get to the final, it's good for business, but I do hope that if they get there I hope that they get absolutely pumped

    They’re having a great time down there and quite right too, they’ve made it to a World Cup semi-final which they really didn’t expect. It’s a case of hold on and enjoy the ride as long as it lasts I guess.
