"Now, don't be disingenuous, please, Allan"

I'm not. I was actually making a point though trying to do it in a light hearted way. I know very well that at football England compete as England. The fact remains though that Scots are often quizzed on TV and in the media as to if they are going to support England and if they say no then they are accused of being small minded or bigoted and we are told that we should be supporting the other British team. The English nation (I know I'm making a wide sweep) can't have it both ways. You are either competing only for England and shouldn't expect and demand support from the other British nations - or you are there competing as England but also for the UK in general.

I'm not making the above point specifically towards yourself but there is a section of the London media which routinely has witchhunts against non-english supporting scots in the lead up to World Cups etc and there is even a trawling of Scotland specifically looking for anti-English sentiment etc.
