Did anyone watch this appalling, tacky and abysmal show that BBC1 put out in the name of Entertainment? Wales and Northern Ireland spent the whole evening booing and jeering England and deprived Scotland a real chance of actually being able to play the game because of rascist anti-English tactics. Regardless of the fact that England did actually win, the real winners last night were England and Scotland jointly as they were the only countries to play correctly and fairly. The odd joke about the English is totally acceptable and funny and so on for the rest of the nations, but the booibng, jeering and anti English behaviour should not have been allowed on the BBC and the obviously biased host from Northern Ireland, the totally talentless Patrick Kielty, was cringeworthy. A dire programme and proof that we no longer can rely on our neibouring countries for help and support.
Oh my god, I caught the first few minutes then changed the channel. What the hell was it?! They must have been using like old cameras or something because the picture quality looked like the 80s 90s sort of era television.
Pure ****, basically test the nation but with more than one nation. WHY, BBC ONE!? WHY RUIN YOUR REPUTATION SO FAR REASONABLE ONE OFF SHOWS LIKE THIS!?

Piffle! Don't take things so seriously - the English brought it on themselves by boringly keeping themselves to themselves in banking points and nothing but reliance on their captain - he was a right clever-clogs while the team as a whole were Jade Goodys.
The Northern Ireland team were very magnanimous to the England team at the end - the Scots and the Welsh simply wanted their fellow Celts to win against The Big Cheese.
It was a crappy programme but a bit of fun - don't take it, yourself or yourselves too seriously, eh? 'Danger to the Union' indeed - as Catherine Tate's grany would say - what a load of old .....

I wonder if your post would have said the same if the English were booing the Irish? The worst display of booing and taunting were from the Welsh. The Engliash have to spend their time, in their own country, being sensitive and political correct towards other nationalities. Why can't the same respect be given to the English?
I still think you are taking it all too seriously!
England gets stick because it has five times as many people as the other home nations put together!
The England team came across as arrogant and humourless, taking the ball home and not wanting to play with anyone else, and then bemused by the reactions of the other countries which England had brought on itself.
The Irish just smiled at them, Welsh thought they would get their own back, and the Scots were just happy to have a few points.
Perhaps it would be a good idea if Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland were allowed to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in their own right, too? At least the three of them would be more or less guaranteed not to finish bottom.

Go Wales! Sorry, as diplomatic as I want to be, as someone who is Welsh born and bred, and has spent the last few years at university in Scotland I have no sympathy for the English. Indeed, I am half-English, but that doesn't stop me despairing at the way the Celtic nations are referred to at times or disregarded in favour of England. An example, a woman came into the store I work part time in the other week, with a deep Cockney accent, and she refused to accept a Scottish banknote because she wanted an English one, despite the fact we didn't have any Bank of England ones in the till, and ignoring the fact that BofS notes are legal tender throughout the UK. That example is indicative of the sort of English ingorance (and often United States ignorance) that the "minority" Celts have to deal with to greater or lesser extents all the time.
This isn't the place for a political discussion, but when such a strong a nation as the English can't take a bit of booing and jibing (the sort of behaviour the Welsh and Irish in particualr have endured for years) then they're not as mighty as they claim :p No offence to any English readers, as I say I'm half myself, but have to defend my Welsh identitiy.
