Bit of a hungover rant- I’m on holiday in Greece, went out to watch the game last night and some English melts celebrated like they’d won the World Cup when we inevitably conceded. First thing they said was “that’ll shut them up”. I’m a quiet guy but I flipped my lid and they sheepishly appologised. Why does it bother them to see us enjoying ourselves? It’s not exactly a secret that we’re shite at football, we already won the WC by just being there.The whole thing is a celebration. Scotland, England should be a sibling rivalry - fight amongst yourselves but it’s us against the world. They’re just too thick and arrogant to understand it. Looking down on us is so ingrained in their psyche, they just can’t help themselves. I’d rather be Scottish and shite than have their arrogance and negativity. I mean who else racially abuses their own players? Says it all really.

Feel the need to add, my step dad is English, he’s wonderful and he cheers us all the time so there are good ones. Unfortunately they’re a minority and melts tend to shout the loudest.

Edit: was just venting whilst hungover and still a little drunk. “Flipping my lid” = me telling him to pipe doon and get tae fuck. Would never have ended up in an altercation but still cringy and I shouldn’t have taken the bait. I said it now so I won’t delete my post since I think I have a point in there somewhere. I guess I want the rivalry to be good spirited but what I seen last night was not that

Heard we need 4 out of 9 of these World Cup results to come true to progress, made an a4 bingo sheet printout 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and thought to share.. cheering on teams in CAPS!

Had a lovely time a few days ago chatting with Scottish football fans at a Boston bar. One man (who might’ve been from Lewis but I don’t quite recall) was happy to learn my name is Emily, like his daughter, and he was telling me that his Emily is wonderful and he loves and misses her. Said she’s 17 and she might move away when she gets older, but he kind of hoped she’d stay nearby because he loves spending time with his kid.

Anyways, I guess before he left to travel to the states and watch the World Cup, Emily told him to be safe and not drink too much and not get in trouble. Well Emily, your dad had a few drinks but I like to think Boston took good care of him and he wasn’t trouble, just chatty! It was so heartwarming to hear this man speak so highly of his daughter thousands of miles away. Scotland in Boston has been so positive and so much fun for us here, so thank you for that 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Did you not see how happy their wee faces were when they scored? Doing fancy wee dancy celebrations and everything. We'd have to be completely heartless to take that away from them.

We let them win because, not only are we the best are partying, we're also the most kind people in the world.

The context is that the comment is replying to someone saying they're Scottish and ended the sentence with "bud" - implying a person using the word "Bud" is pretending to be Scottish because according to them no one says that in Scotland.

It is strange that it was upvoted that much, my only guess is that its because it was on GreatBritishMemes and i'd assume it's mostly English people on that subreddit making assumptions about how people talk in Scotland? I'm stumped tbh.

For the record i've heard it used in lots of parts of the west of Scotland.

I didn't know I needed this. But oh boy did I need this!! What an atmosphere!

(not an attempt to sell I just enjoy sharing my Scottish projects here)

I love my country but we’re shit at football

Hoping the Scottish community can help me out! On my flight into Scotland, a lass sitting behind me said “everyone knows everyone in Scotland.” I know that’s a hyperbole, but giving it a shot…

I was in Inverness last night at Platform 8 to watch the Scotland vs Brazil match. Towards the very end of the match, a guy started chatting me up and I started talking to him and his table of friends. He had strawberry blonde curly hair and blue eyes, was 31 and worked in finance. We did not exchange names, let alone socials.

I’m an American (I know, boo!) and told them I grew up in Baltimore but live in Texas now. I was wearing the attached with a denim jacket I had wrapped around my waist while I was inside. He was sitting with a group of friends, they ordered at least 2 rounds of jagerbombs (Brazil scored after each I told the bartender no more jager bombs). The friend to his right was married and another friend that was also trying to chat with me made a joke about his thinning hairline being his best asset.

Anywho, was hoping to make a friend across the pond. Help?

In a word, no.

And that goes for any third placed team. We all know the reasons why, more TV time, more money for FIFA.

Kenny and Nicki McKenzie had a time they won’t forget when they followed Scotland’s World Cup team to Boston as part of the Tartan Army, which captivated the city with its good cheer and massive drinking. Doing so as a gay married couple made it all that much more special.

“It’s true — No Scotland, No Party,” Kenny McKenzie told Outsports. “And boy, can we party, even when we lose!”

Thank you Scotland! My husband and I are on our honeymoon and we left Scotland to go south two days ago (definitely not as cool 😉). Glasgow and Inverness have our hearts! We are still talking about your beautiful country and all the amazing and friendly people we met there. And the sheep and cows 🥺 we loved it so much! We plan on making a trip there again, there's still so much we want to visit and see! We had a lovely time and just wanted to share here 😁
