FAO The Scotland Bashers
From my point of view its not the team thats the Scots have a problem with, its the media and their attitude.
Don't get me wrong, I was born and bred in Norwich but moved to Scotland due to parents working arrangements at six years old so was not subjected to the 'brainwashing' of the 'British' media.
When you watch the 'national' news the main story is about England, when watching the match programmes there is always an article about England, the entire sports section of papers is devoted to England...
Okay its important to know what is going on with the squad and how they are approaching each game, I get that. But if, on the oddest of odd occasions, another team from the British Isles were to qualify would they get the same coverage?
You slate the Scottish Premier League yet Celtic have beaten teams from the Premier League over the last 2 seasons and Rangers have done well in Europe last season. Put it another way, if Norwich were to play in the SPL where would they finish?
