They just want to see career bullshitters wriggle about on the hook a bit. If he'd went "I'm not bothered either way, I can enjoy the match as a neutral" he'd have been fine but he's gave them a bite, well, because he's Useless He should have said "I will support England if you can name name three of their players and the clubs they are signed to". Its as ridicluous as the handwringing these papers are having over Prince William not going to support them over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure if you want to then fire away, mostly I want Scotland and Scottish teams to do well but I perfectly appreciate why most people wouldn't reciprocate this... The thing I find weird about this kinda stuff is the only people that are truly getting annoyed are Scottish Unionists. I've not really seen English people upset at Humza just the usual weirdo UK flag shaggers on Twitter that polarise the most mundane shit for the purpose of grifting morons. Talkshite's Adrian Durham (usually a pro-England clickbaiter) has said that those complaining about Scots not supporting England clearly aren't football fans. It's like expecting Spurs fans to cheer on Arsenal because they are both London clubs. Edited August 20, 2023 by DeeTillEhDeh 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a far more legitimate issue to be fair - he’s the president of the FA, and there’s absolutely no doubt whatsoever that he’d have gone if the men’s team reached a final. So that’s about the double standard and misogyny of the whole thing. This is all off topic though. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pointless drivel, insulting horseshit and 'they just want to see career bullshitters wriggle about on the hook' is patently nonsense given they used to do similar with Andy Murray. I'm no fan of Humza and there's plenty to be critical of both him and the SNP too, so would it not be better to use the rare opportunity to blindside him with a question on an issue that actually matters ? You know, like proper political journalism. Where's the fun in that though when we can just jangle the keys and get all the hogs hootin' and hollerin' I'm afraid your big long post is wrong because I'm always right q.e.d. If he says "yes" it's "ooh I thought you were a proud scot" if he says "no" it's "ooh you big anti-english bigot". The correct answer is neutrality of the not bovved I hope it's a good game though variety but he's utterly clueless so it's great for confirming that again. The best British sportswomen to be cheering on this weekend are of course at the world athletics championship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrbridgeSaintee Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I like to see England win, but don't have a problem with those who don't. Anglophobia exists, but engaging in fitba' rivalry doesn't make one anglophobic. Funny watching Humza squirm though. I'd have more respect if he just admitted he wants them to get beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'I'm not really bothered and might not watch, hope the best team wins' answer is the one he actually gave after his bumbling and results in whiny dorks mewling 'he can't even bring himself to wish are brave lionesses good luck'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) SNP knives will be out for him after that result. A leadership coup before the end of the year wouldn't be a surprise.

Cheese Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Would there be enough SNP rebels for a vote of no confidence ? Not so sure. I think he'll stay until the General Election where he'll live or die by the result. The SNP are near guaranteed to lose seats there, which will be factored in, it'll depend on the scale of the loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the answer is No. SNPs issue is that their "talent pool" is pretty thin and spread between Westminster and Holyrood. They are suffering from being in power up here for a long time, but still basically powerless when it comes to finance and many important non devolved issues. Anyone who thinks it would be better if we had a Labour administration in Holyrood is deluded - but I genuinely dont know where the electorate go from here, and I say that as an SNP voter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
