A Denmark supporter who attended Wednesday’s Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley says she was physically assaulted by England fans as she made her way home after the game.

...A report in the Evening Standard described how a nine-year-old boy fled to the top deck of a bus after his father was confronted and punched in the stomach by an England fan when a group of 40 spotted their shirts through the windows. There have been claims that some young Denmark supporters were spat at when they entered the stadium.

“My daughters aged 14 and 11 did not dare show off their Danish shirts and hats because they were intimidated by the English fans,” Sigrun Matthiesen Campbell told the Danish website DR. “We were spat on when we entered the stadium, and people shouted insults.”

Nicola has said there will be a Scottish Bank Holiday if Italy win.

Knowing Nicola though, Her Miserableness won't have it the summer, when the rain is a little warmer. Oh no. Following a long tradition of having Scottish Bank Holidays only when it's freezing and when there's only 2 hours of daylight, she'll probably set it for late January.

Only Nicola can afford to go to Italy for her holidays.

Commonality between Nicola and Boris - they don't pay for their own holidays :lol:

Bad luck chaps.

Nar then. I was expecting something far more satirical :lol:
In 1961 England played Scotland. The result was 9-3 in England's favour. The most worrying part was that England only fielded one player and he needed serious counselling after the match. Turns out he was sent off just after the second half started when he argued with the referee for being flagged offside.

I've heard that when Scotland next play in the World Cup or Euro, qualifiers or tournament that they want 6 periods in each game. Each 15 minutes long.
They will be known as

  1. Optimism.
  2. Belief.
  3. Doubt.
  4. Devastation.
  5. Hope.
  6. Desolation.

Walking through Dundee the other day I saw a World Cup ticket for Scotland nailed to a tree. I though to myself I'm having that. Can't have too many nails.
