Ahem. I for one am not UKish, because the UK is NOT a country. Nor for that matter am I British for the same reason. On any form that I fill in, apart from them stupid online drop down things that only list UK, I put down that my nationality is ENGLISH. I would hope that the Scots, Welsh and Irish enter their own nationality too. This is why we still have five teams competing in the World Cup. Would you rarther we have just one? A bland combination of all players from five nationalities. Well maybe not all five eh? ;)

And to continue this magnificent thread, the only time Scotland got any notoriety on the world stage for their history, you had to get a bloody Australian to play the lead character ....

Yes I am English. But please read what I wrote. Not what you think I wrote????? In this instance UK is used as a collective noun.

or the world series base ball made up of AMERICAN only teams , :D :D

Oh that old chestnut. It was only called that because the first one in 1903 was sponsored by the World tobacco company.

And the simple answer is now, name me another team anywhere in the world who could beat even the worst major league team?

And the Toronto Blue Jays aren't American .... ;)

Well now, what game are you going to utrn to a national sport? Tiddlywinks? You can't play football, that's been know for years now, and now rugby has been trashed by Argentina.

LMFAO!!!! :D :D :D
What an idiotic comment! Anyway, I´m a Glaswegian and I support ALL sportsmen, sportswomen and teams from Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. I hope the English teams do well this week in the Champions´ League and I´d love to see McIroy, Westwood or Donald win the Open next year. What was your point, if you actually had won? :D

i am very UK ish, and happy to be english as well
i support all teh home countries when they are playing others


But i think it's a bit harsh to challenge england for buying in players when you had Glen Metcalfe and Dale Macintosh (and i didnt even have to go on google to find them) as a start who didnt have even a sprinking of scottish lineage but didnt stop them playing however many tests for scotland

Everyone does it, it would be better if they didnt, but they do and its bloomin hard to work out how to legislate against it

I'm stuck now, cos the silly sods got beaten by Argentina (albeit Arg were more than miles offside for that drop goal attempt at the end, but i thought Parks woudl have guess that woudl happen and would have stood further back - i think that they sent the pass out 1 phase too quickly and Parks wasnt ready for it), and i really dont want England to lose so that both ENgland and Scotland get through.

So we have to hope that Georgia can do the job on Argentina, but i'm not so certain - what's the odds on a nil-nil draw in that one ?
