The BT Slogan - NO thanks - is fine and dandy if you are a committed NO - but to me feels maybe a little bit too 'dismissive' of a YES if you are unsure?

Just for a laugh I've tried to vote multiple time son that poll...and succeeded.Highjacked by the lunatic fringes and not based on any kind of reality.

Telegraph started some interesting journalism yesterday, this is a view from the Yes side ( guess No will be tomorrow)

:rofl::rofl:
And how would you suggest you say no in a non dismissive way? Jesus, I've read some nonsense, pedantic and nit picking posts on this thread, but that one surely takes the biscuit.
Do you think yes feels a bit too accepting if you are unsure?
but that will pale as they will win this years world cup...hopefully. I for one will be right behind them.:whoo:
Why would anyone British not be? (dont anyone answer as I know there are many bigoted myopic individuals out there)

I'm just saying the impression I take from the slogan - nothing else. I'm not saying it's wrong. They could simply have a poster/flag with the word NO on it. If BT are happy with it then great.

You know, you can't just type up some utter tripe and tell people not to respond. Nothing bigoted about not supporting England at football, nothing at all.

takes one to know one, I suppose.
I hope England getting heartily pumped in every sporting activity they play, in particular football and rugby...my English dad tells me when Scotland are good enough to qualify for any kind of international tournament he'll wish the same fate on Scotland...its called rivalry.

I'm also not that convinced that the NO slogan 'Best of Both Worlds' is that great. Some down here see that as suggesting that Scotland gets to decide what it spends it's money on (so for example on free tuition fees, prescriptions, elderly care) whilst being subsidised by England. And some down here don't like that idea.
Just reflecting views of some of my mates in the club. But if BT are happy with it then good.

No thanks...........it is the way it is said and interpreted that counts..........I thought it was quite clever.
Re England support, seems to me that England, like Scotland, have quite a few of their own countrymen/women who do not support them. Does that make them bigots to, or is that too hard to work out?

Ridiculous!
The team are not there representing Britain they are there representing England (& I'd imagine plenty proud to do so)....

I'll be supporting England 100% all the way to the final - then I have a decision to make. Though I'm pretty sure what that'll be I can't be sure until the day arrives.

In the same way people living in other parts of the UK get to spend their money how they wish, whilst accepting a share of the revenue generated from Scottish resources.
It works both way.

In relation to the World Cup, I'll be supporting Italy, the same way I do with every team Italy play against (except Scotland of course) before any of you feel i'm being anti English.
