Angry HELP! - Scot's Fans Hijack Wembley Poll

A former sports minister at Westminster has accused Scottish football fans of trying to hijack the naming of a footbridge at the new Wembley stadium.
Tony Banks has put down a motion in the Commons insisting that it must be called the Bobby Moore bridge.

The Tartan Army have voted online for it to be named after the late great Jim Baxter. Scottish nationalist MPs tabled a motion last week endorsing the call.

The Baxter vote currently leads the online poll, which closes on 15 March.

Baxter was the hero of the "home international" at Wembley when Scotland beat England 3-2 in 1967.

The victory over England came a year after the home side's World Cup win.

Slim Jim thrilled fans with a display of "keep-uppie" during the Wembley game.

We can't let this happen, they won the game, pinched the goalposts in the 70's, now this! Could the porridge gobblers stoop any lower?

I think you'll find the Scots arrived late to this particular party. Welsh rugby fans have been voting "Scott Gibbs Way" for a couple of weeks in commemoration of that superb last minute try in the 1999 5 Nations championship (last game/last try in the 5N).

Cool.

Just voted for "the Jim Baxter Bridge" Got all my mates and colleagues to do so as well.

Perhaps next time you'll think twice about such offensive comments

LOL

Due to the short lifespan of the average Scot, they feel a need to leave a mark before they die. Maybe "Fried Mars Bar Avenue" in memory of their favourite food

Clearly the bridge needs two names.

On the way in it should be "We're gonna win Everything"

On the way out it should be "Overpaid, lazy fcukwits blew it again"

Completely agree chap. For example, they made probably the best British film of all time. Here is a choice quote from that particular movie. See if you can guess what film I mean?

TOMMY: Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish?
RENTON: I hate being Scottish. We're the lowest of the fuc-king low, the scum of the earth, the most wretched, servile, miserable, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the English, but I don't. They're just wan-kers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by wan-kers. We can't even pick a decent culture to be colonised by. We are ruled by effete arseholes. It's a ****e state of affairs and all the fresh air in the world will not make any ****ing difference.

...end quote

The Scots shouldn't be so hard on themselves - The English pretty much colonized the whole world - well all the good bits .
