FFS - Please give all us Scots a break.

Right up to Zidane's equalizer we suffered the "We are going to win it all" syndrome. Then the shit well and truly hit the fan.

We admit freely our football team has more chance at winning "Horse of the Year" than anything globaly in the football calendar.

Please allow us to revel in England's disfortune - it doesn't happen often (enough).

I have no gripe with anyone about their nationality.

It's only a game !

Ah yes - Braveheart - only slightly less accurate, historically speaking, than Monty Python and The Holy Grail. It still didn't stop the SNP waiting outside Film Theatres to sign up Scots who were incensed by the way that the Scots were treated in the film.

"And tell me will we never hear the end
Of puir bluidy Charlie at Culloden yet again?
Though he ran like a rabbit down the glen
Leavin better folk than him to be butchered
Or are you sittin in your Council house, dreamin o your clan?
Waiting for the Jacobites to come and free the land?
Try going down the broo with your claymore in your hand
And count all the Princes in the queue!

So don't talk to me of Scotland the Brave
For if we don't fight soon there'll be nothing left to save
Or would you rather stand and watch them dig your grave
While you wait for the Tartan Messiah?
He'll lead us to the Promised Land with laughter in his eye
We'll all live on the oil and the whisky by and by
Free heavy beer! Pie suppers in the sky! -
Will we never have the sense to learn?

That there's no gods and there's precious few heroes
But there's plenty on the dole in the land o the leal"

And I'm damn sure that there's plenty live in fear
Of the day we stand together with our shoulders to the wheel
