Any Scot watching the South Africa v Argentina RWC semi will understand precisely why we hate the Engerlish. Not one minute or move goes by without the commentators referring to "Johnny this, Johnny that ", poor ol' Josh Lucy" Engerland are just "30 mates having a good time".
The incessent DRIVEL coming out of these sad egits during one of the most important sporting events of the year typifies everything hatable about the arrogant English. They can't see beyond the end of their own noses. Their hypocitical and blatantly obvious support of the Argies is also abhorent . They truely are a nation to detest

Agree, they should be talking about the game they are commentating on - not wall-to-wall England, (as usual).
So predictable.

Their inane drivel is ruining the game - ITV should be ashamed of their biased coverage. When the Scottish guys on Setanta commentate on the Bundesliga they actually commentate on the match, and german football in general. I know England are in the final, but please allow neutrals to enjoy the other semi.

Cheating english video ref, no danger that was a try.
Makes for a more exiting 2nd half though.

That minute of commentary, "joke" and all, was utterly cringe worthy.
Sod all this defining our feelings towards England - as a sporting entity and nation they are utterly despisable.

It's quite boring to read all this drivel about hating all the English tbh, claiming us all to be arrogant and what not. It's nice to see that you think we're all the same.

We're just a back water to them. Waste land with mountains and streams. Cauld, wet and miserable. Lets face it, we are second class in this united kingdom, along with the welsh and the norn oirish. Til we get our independence and stop taking pocket money frae the dirty beggers, we will never be in the same league in their eyes. I don't hate them, i just think that they are doing what any nation would do if they got to a world cup final. It's just that we in this united kingdom who are not of english blood get it rammed doon our throats and it's hard to to swallow. I hope they get gubbed.

The guy who is backing up the commentator is someting else. Sounds like he has been on the p1sh. Even made a comment abount Jonny Wilkinson refering to the grassy knoll and repositary building talking about accuracy of shooting for goal. a bit distasteful.

Don't hate them. Have english family.
If it was us do you not think we would be arrogant aswell?".....Hearts midfielder Laryea Kingston insists he can fulfil all his dreams at Tynecastle - by winning the SPL and a European trophy.

I suspect anti-English anger is down to the fact that, in this so-called island of nations, we get 90% English coverage of sport rather than British. And the English commentators can't figure out how to address an international (ie Scottish, Welsh, N. Irish and English) audience. So we get the crazy situation where Scotland are playing a vital qualifier yesterday, but we all have to watch bloody Engerland against Estonia. Jeez, would Austrians stand getting only German matches live on Austrian telly rather than Austrian matches?
British media just don't work. All Scottish broadcasters need to be totally independent from doon south, otherwise they're just stirring up all this hatred.

By that same logic, we are equally culpable for the death of every innocent person in Iraq.

Any more blatant racism along the lines above will not be tolerated. Nobody would tolerate some of the statements already posted on here being aimed at more or less any other nationality on earth.

You, and those who agree with you sound so insecure.
It surely can't be insecurity relating to your own identity because we as a nation have so much to be proud of, what with our football team.
england are in the final and are awaiting the outcome of this match to see who they will play. It's only natural for the commentators to be slightly "patriotic"
I'm actually quite angry that such pathetic, small minded attitudes such as yours are allowed to present themselves as the general feelings of the scots towards the English.
Attitudes like that give the scots a bad name.

at least a couple of people are talking sense. much as i enjoyed Scotland's victory (and indeed the entire qualifying campaign so far), it never fails to drag up all this pathetic flag-waving *****e. and yes, i know people are talking about the rugby here, but i've spent the entire weekend being pissed off by the 'wha's like us' brigade. virtue of the vicious, indeed.

At the end of the day, The English are watercannon loving people....
I don't hate them, but I'm not particualry a fan of how they are all up themselves when it comes to biased commentary...
If I was English, i'd cringe every time that buffoon Ian Wright is analysing fitba because it's quite pathetic
