Anyone but England T shirts

[roadster198]

Dear oh Dear..... where to start.

Firstly Grampian region is Bandit country along with anything north of Glasgow this is from personal experience of the locals and I'm Scottish.

Not All jocks don't want England to win the world cup either. British First Scottish second for me.

So bit of a generalisation is it not?

Troll,

it looks like a plan B opportunity to me

the market has been made

now you, produce a t shirt saying 'anything but scotland'

do a press release

and voila.....

Milan.

I was thinking of a reciprocal "Anyone but Scotland" design - but they rarely seem to qualify, so I suspect I would be left with a lot of stock to shift.

I see the Scots at it again - has there ever been a more bitter and twisted nation ?

Bitter Jocks

Nothing wrong with that, and I'm English. It's good to see that the oldest international football rivalry in history is still breathing a bit of fire and brimstone.

But it would be better if they could breed some decent players again.

A company selling "Anyone but England" T-shirts for this year's World Cup has rejected suggestions it is racist after police in Aberdeen visited its store.

Police warned Slanj, which also has stores in Glasgow and Edinburgh, that a window display featuring the shirt could cause offence.

Grampian officers advised a store worker to consider whether the display was appropriate and should be removed.

A spokesman for Slanj said staff were "flabbergasted" by the warning.

Ross Lyle, from the company, said: "To be honest we're absolutely flabbergasted.

"We have been selling this T-shirt for the past three months and we've had a great response.

"Even the English people who come into the store think it's a laugh and just a bit of tongue-in-cheek football banter.

"We're certainly not being racist. We are the same race as the English. It's just daft to say it's offensive."

A spokesman for Grampian Police said the force's visit to the Slanj store was not in response to any public complaint about the shirt slogan and was prompted by an officer acting on his own initiative.

In a statement, the force said it was purely an "advisory visit" and there was no criminal investigation as a result.

Pc Kirk Hemmings added: "The primary role of any police force is to preserve the peace and we would be failing in our duty if we did not make people aware of the potential for disturbance such a window display could cause.

"The Grampian area, in common with the rest of the country, has recorded incidents relating to nationality and we have a responsibility to do our best to ensure that incidents of this nature are kept to a minimum.

"The public expect no less of us."

ohh well.

I fully support Scotland, Wales and NI sporting endeavours in a patronising kind of way.

I reckon some "Anything but New Labour" and "Anyone but Gordon" T shirts would sell like hot cakes in the run up to the election.

Seriously.

Get buying then....

That is not a problem for England. We can hire Johnny Foreigner to cover a temporary shortage of managers.

Don't misunderstand me, I miss the Scots. Football is not the same without Scotchmen trying to kick us off the park every year, wrecking Wembley and claiming they won the world championship in 1967. There's nobody up there to boo any more.

I can understand the need to revenge the fact that the last time the two sides met, it was you southern monkeys crying into your jellied eels.
