I've gone England. I'm not going to bore anyone with my feelings on the Scottish national team. It's easy to find on here if you're interested. But I'm guessing that you're not.
Anyhow. After an incredibly dull start, I'm actually enjoying watching England play now. Unfortunately I'm also enjoying Italy. In actual fact I'm enjoying Italy far more. They're a joy to watch at the minute. And are obviously having the time of their lives. But I genuinely want England to win, if only to piss all the Tartan Army off.
I've spent the last couple of days blocking twats on twitter who've been constantly posting shite about how much they hate England. One in particular. Known to some of us on here. A keen cyclist no less. Even to this day I find is wierd that someone who's lived the majority of their lives in this country can hate it so much.
So if nothing else, I hope England win if it's only to piss Sandy off.
I'm also slightly disillusioned with The Dons at the minute. I always get this way towards the end of the season, but this year it's not passing. Don't really know why if I'm being honest. I've already mentioned that I've tried to reassess my life recently, and so far it's working. I'm enjoying not having Dons in my life these days. So we'll see what happens when the season kicks off. But I'm actually not looking forward to the season restarting.
Just remember, despite his relentless retweeting of anything negative to do with England, pointing out the irony is us bullying him.
It comes across as incredibly bitter, and to be honest, a bit desperate.
Not just from him, someone who's lived the majority of his life here, but other folk I've known all my life. People I consider intelligent, well read, internationalists. The first thing they did on social media last night was to change their profile image to the Italian flag etc'. I know this guy, ex-manager of The Trashcan Sinatras, clever fella'. A poet, published author, works in the media, heavely involved in Scottish politics. Not an idiot. Published a smashing piece online only last week about the diversity within the England team, and how they'd brought England together. Except last night. You can guess what his reaction was.
We've lived here for 34 years. I love it in Stony. We'll never leave hopefully. My maternal family hail from Solihull. I obviously don't consider myself English, but the desperate, small minded rubbish that's all over the internet this morning from north of the border has genuinely pissed me off.
