Noone ever said it didn't happen in England to scots, or even in London to Mancs and vice versa.
Noone will convince me otherwise that generally speaking there is a greater animosity towards the English in Scotland than there is the other way round. Therefore I would hazard a guess that you are more likely to get a beating if you wore an England shirt in Glasgow than you would wearing an Scotland shirt in London. In a totally non football related context, ie not when there is a match on. I was at the foo fighters concert in Mankchester on Sunday, and they had played Hyde Park the night before. Dave Grohl made reference to the Hyde Park gig and everyone booed the mention of it, because it was London. The opposite would not have happened in London, as I said before, I think primarily because London is as cosmopolitan as it comes.. I have no idea whether a Leeds crowd (non footy) would do the same? Maybe Mankchester has capital envy I don't know. Im not saying London doesn't have its fair share of thugs or 'hate crimes', but generally there is an apathy towards Scotland, whereas I don't think you can say the same about the general Scottish attitude to England. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:leedslist- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric B > Sent: 21 June 2006 20:51 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LU] non. racist attacts > > I seriously think that there wasnt ANY chance it didnt happen in > england to scots. > > On 6/21/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Its not just the Scots - > > > > > > 13 June 2006 'FOOTIE ROW' SCOT STABBED TO DEATH > > Man held after 'Rab C knifed on street By Lee-Ann Fullerton > > A Scot has died in England after being stabbed in a row over football. > > Robert Whiteford - known as Rab C because of his Glaswegian accent - > died > > after a fight on Friday, hours before England kicked off their World Cup > > campaign.
