The news won't surprise anyone who's shared a bus, train, stadium, pub, pavement with a group of Scottish, Irish or Welsh fans.

It's strange, because England have a great sporting rivalry with other countries like France and Australia (I'd call the Australia rivalry our biggest, it's certainly the closest-fought), but I've never seen half the bigotry and abusiveness out of either of those sets of fans and you do from a set of celtic rugby supporters on a match day against England. It just seems to be 'accepted'.

Is he broad, also?

Eddie sometimes talks a fückload of tripe but giving him abuse when he’s just going about his day is just classless. It’s like hating the guy playing the small ugly sister in the local panto, it’s just theatre. Enjoy it.

While I agree with this..totally

Eddie himself is renowned as probably the worst sledger in history as well as being utterly fearless.

I bet he’s chuckling away quietly on this one.

Might be, ”he” does seem to be on his period quite regularly

He’s setting Hastings up as the other panto villain and the gullible English types are lapping it up without realising the panto is still happening.

Yep. Skinny jean wearing fúcks

There's willing suspension of disbelief though, we really don't like Gav.

These lads just look like common garden variety twats, I cant imagine they in anyway represent the typical scottish rugby fan

I like to think the wet patch on the leg of the guy in the really skinny jeans was where he had pissed himself, but chances are he had just spilt his beer.

OK - the guys who gave the disgusting verbals to Jones deserve to be punished/fined. They probably regret it as we speak and an apology would show they can man up to what they have done. SRU statement covers it for 99.99% of Scottish rugby supporters. However for Jones to single out Berghan and Hastings is just way over the top and I suspect he just doesn't get the rivalry thing between us. Jones is a wind up merchant and if any coach takes things too far at times it is him.

On the Hastings comments - I come across both him and his brother regularly and both are very very passionate Scots however they are both good, honourable guys and Gavin would be horrified with what Jones as implied. He wouldn't necessarily be on my Eggheads team but he does not deserve the Jones accusations.

We Scots don't have many victories like Saturdays to enjoy and year after year have to put up with the patronising and mildly racist and offensive comments about the 'plucky jocks' from the ever infuriating Inverdale, Gassgut and the likes who sit smugly on the BBC stage having flown up the morning of the game complaining about the cold and the weather and who fly out immediately afterwards. Once again on Saturday we had the 'plucky scot' Nicol perched at the side of the stage almost out of view whilst Inverdale and his buddies warmed up for the steady march of England to the Grand Slam. Thank feck big Paul brought some objectivity to the analysis and focused on what Scotland did well rather have than the ongoing 'what is wrong with England' debate!

The problem is most folk south of the border are oblivious to the ongoing, slightly offensive and irritating English parochialism that pisses off most Celts and wonder what all the bother is about when it is raised. Try waiting for the Pro14 rugby results on the BBC on a Friday night and all you get is the Quins and the Leicester results!

Listen the guy had a few verbals thrown at him and didnt enjoy it, it was mild compared to the shit thrown my way last time I wore a kilt down south to a wedding!

Do you remember a poster called Jrp?

and offensive. Have a lie down snowflake.

Bloody hell, people get frozen out of work, attacked, have racist political and nationalist groups against them and you claim that this is somehow in anyway racist and deserving of any negative feeling. Also WTF? The BBC only shows Pro-14 games domestically and your point about results is just false.

He scared you away didn't he petal, glad to see you have discovered your spine and felt it is now safe to return.

Heard a lot of nasty stuff at Murrayfield last two times we were there. All the nationalistic centuries of hurt stuff just seems to spill over.

Without a hint of irony but a page apart.

Scared away?! Wee Jock Poo Ploppy McAngry got his mod jock mate to believe I was stalking him offline. Total bollocks of course but repeat a lie on PR about half a dozen times and gullible saps will repeat it half a dozen times more. And so on and so forth.

Still, you believe what makes you feel happy.

You ran away from the big bad bully Jerpy as you couldnt stand the heat. You like to dish it out but can't take it, never could.

Dont worry Toga it's only words on a computer screen you can log off anytime it gets a bit too much for you.

It’s not my fight or anything, but you did spend many years standing behind jrp shouting ‘come on Cvnt!’ from the back and snickering loyally at his every Fonzie-joke

So, I’d probably STFU if I was you.

Jrp was a big bad bully yes. And you were one of his fluffers. Well done.

Yeah i never had any run ins with Jerpy

It was my regular bust ups with Jerpy on the Indy thread that was a contributing factor to him buggering off but you keep pluggin away champ, you're bound to land a blow one of these days.

Aye ok.

Actually, have you ever been to Scotland?

What the fudge is wrong with you today?
