I'm with Sir Billy of Connolly on the national anthem. It's a dirge. We should have something a bit more upbeat like the Archers theme.

Yes, I was reading about that, am I correct in thinking it’s not confirmed yet? I went to university up there and used to watch them play

Do you think they are equally disgusting as Rangers, more disgusting, or less disgusting.
I will give you my opinion on it, on a score based on Johnson being 100 out of 100 disgusting I give them both 100.

I ignore the national anthem too, it's appalling. If I had a decent whistle that's what I'd do when it was played.

Why offend the majority of this country who are proud to be British? I would never boo or whistle any National anthem.

are people really that offended? I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but equally i couldn't really care about it

You're quite happy proclaiming your subservience to the head of an outdated institution, fair enough. I'm not and I don't know where you get this 'majority' from, I must have missed that vote.

Really? Isn't this the same as booing players taking the knee?

I think it's normal courtesy. But you are what you are, your sectarian view on life is different to mine.
Maybe I should have whistled at the EU anthem when I was in Brussels, but no, normal courtesy stopped me.
I assume you would stand for one of two Irish national anthems. As I would.

I'm a bit out of touch with it all but last I heard there was definitely a delay. With the amount of money in Aberdeen it shouldn't be hard. Mind you, the Aberdeen City Bypass was 25 years late!

I caught them celebrating their title win as it was on before the forest game. Quite surreal watching a huge club stuffing a small club, the scottish league really is a strange affair. The celebrations looked a bit forced tbh, is it such a great achievement? a weird spectacle. easy money for their players!

It's the same as the Boro first team celebrating the North Riding cup.

If Celtic are Irish Nationalist, and Rangers are Unionist, who represents Scottish Nationalism in football?

I would never allow Celtic or Rangers to play in this country. Firstly why should we give them more income and secondly it will be to the detriment of the English national team. Smaller clubs in the PL are breeding grounds for up and coming English players. Why replace two smaller clubs to help Scotland.
Football clubs in England have players from France, Spain, Netherlands, Italy, USA, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Belgium, Croatia and probably 20 other countries, as well as England and Scotland.
Do you think English clubs should only have English players?
Similarly Scottish clubs have players from all over the world too. But you want to exclude Scottish clubs from a British league because teams are based in Edinburgh and Glasgow and it might help Scotland? Does the same apply to Wales?
There are lots of reasons why a British league might not, or should not, or could not happen, but xenophobia really isn't one of them. Or shouldn't be.

Why use the word xenophobia? This is based on fear, hatred and hostility. My view is simply I think it would be detrimental to the national game.
