    Was watching this while working on the cricket, every time I looked there were Columbian’s surrounding the ref for some reason it other, full sympathy goes to the refs family cos if he is still alive at the end of the week it’ll be a miracle! This is meant to be the pinnacle of football. The whole thing was an utter disgrace!

    Well firstly it should be ‘we Southerners’........if you are unfortunate enough to be one.......

    The etymology of ‘worky/workie ticket’ is probably from Army slang - being sufficiently disruptive to ‘work your ticket’ and get thrown out. So ‘snide, underhand, irritating, shifty, trouble-making sh1t stirrer’ just about covers it :)

    However, I think that is a generous description of the Colombians. The dirty b******s simply did not deserve a win. They were a stain on the undergarments of the competition.

    Funny thing language......and its development and adoption. Sassenagh/sassenach was the Gaelic word/corruption for Saxons by which they meant ‘that lot below the Highlands’ although the invaders that settled Edinburgh southwards were actually Angles.....

    Nowadays every Weegie would consider the English as sassenachs without realising he himself is one..... Cue Mr O and other outraged Scots! (Most of my relatives being Teuchters!)

    For the avoidance of doubt my personal definition of ‘’God’s Country’ is ‘anywhere North of Leeds!’ Dilli, you pass muster!

    Sassenach is one born below the antonine wall, which would place lots of the central belt as Sassenach. Those above are teuchters.



    No outrage, but I am a buddy, from Paisley and no a weegie (glasweegian). That would cause me outrage!!!! :confounded::laughing:

    A thousand years ago the linguistic split looked like this....and the blue population haemorrhaged into the yellow with the Industrial Revolution when Paisley exploded!

    Paisley exploded on a regular basis. Mostly due to the custard powder!!!! :eek:

    I kid you not, any fine powder suspended in air can cause an explosion, just so happened to be custard powder they produced in paisley.
    I once saw a video of a piano being blown up with 1lb of explosives, it fell to pieces. They then put a 1lb of flour in there with the 1lb of explosives. The piano was obliterated!!!! :dizzy::laughing:

    This is the bit that gets misunderstood in popular imagination. In these islands we are ALL warlike maniacs just underneath the surface. We tend to the think of Vikings as the hairy scaries but they made a virtue of two military principles: surprise and concentration of force. Two or three boatloads of Vikings, say 150 men, could show up anywhere along the coast or scoot up shallow waterways and wreak havoc before any effective response could be mustered.....classic guerrilla tactics.
    On quite a number of occasions when they went toe to toe in a more conventional fashion the Anglo-Saxons carved them up: Ethandunh and Stamford Bridge. (York not Chelsea!) being just two. Equally Brunanburh (probably on the Wirral) was obviously a horrendous slaughter between all constituent parts of what we now consider the native population.
    I like the compliments of our European ‘partners’:
    Napoleon ‘the British infantry are the finest in the World. Fortunately there are not very many of them.’
    German general. ‘The trouble with the British is that they don’t know when they are beaten.’
    The average Brit is still quite punchy.

    And this is absolutely true. Military explosives are designed to go bang when you want them to but to resist gentle persuasion; you need a small initiating charge of something more sensitive. Explosives are made by combining a fuel with an oxidising agent - exactly what you get with a combustible powder suspended in air. Coal dust is the classic. Just add hobnail boots!

    I fucking hate shit like this. :mad:

    Fucking media stirring up shit where there isn't anything except a few on twitter having a laugh. And we all know social media is full of facts, not. This is stirring up trouble for no reason. Express is a filthy rag not worth the dog shite, I would use it to take off my shoe.

    You have to suspect the Express editorial team see profit in reinforcing the identity politics flowing from the Nats. I will not be joining them. Rule Britannia but stuff England at Murrayfield! Don’t need foreigners spoiling our domestic disputes......:rolleyes:
