observer Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Seems the latest fad is making up England support songs - but I had to laugh at one village group on TV, who had all the English flags etc and a big photo of the England Manager!

Peter T Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hope your right Asp, that'll get rid of the flags pretty quickly! Â Talking of which, on a rare visit to town yesterday, I noticed that there were more flags than we get xmas decorations. Â 2 points. 1. Why don't we celebrate St George's day in a similar manner? 2. Who is paying for this at a time when services and staff are being cut back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, yet this thread contains complaints about the rash of St George paraphenalia that has sprung up in the lead up to England's world cup appearance, so I'd say you're pretty much mistaken there.

observer Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'd suggest they are a minority Fats, less than 20% of the cars on the roads are flying these flags - maybe Asp's astute observation has put the rest of the lemmings off?!

observer Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Errm, nope, we were talking about ENGLAND as against BRITAIN; my point being: that every other country in the World has ONE national team - while we have four. Germany doesn't have a Bavarian team, or France a Corsican team etc - so why do we persist with this nonesense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Given that you are the who persists in posting nonsense you should count it as a blessing. There is quite a large number of normal English people supporting their national team in this competition in various forms, you have no interest in either patriotism or sport so why don't you bury your head up your, sorry in the sand and ignore both.

Â I haven't a clue what nonesense is but at the moment I would the like English football team to win the World Cup, they haven't a snowball in hell's chance but that is the case for the vast majority of teams who enter. I repeat, if you have no interest in it then keep your sarcasm and misery to yourself. BTW, sarcasm and criticism are more effective when spelt correctly.

Germany doesn't have a Bavarian team, or France a Corsican team etc - so why do we persist with this nonesense. Well, I would suggest we stick with this 'nonsense' because like Corsica & Bavaria, England can't field a Lancashire or Cheshire team, and Scotland can't field a Grampian or Strathclyde team, so instead we field national teams, you know, exactly like every other nation in the world when in comes to international football.

wolfie Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Does that mean Team GB in the olympics and the playing of the National Anthem is illegal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 You must have a Scottish passport then Fats! Just to be sure, I've checked mine, which clearly states "UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND" - that's THE Nation. When you do get your own Army and Navy, and Foreign Policy, and your own passports you can claim nationhood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
