Scotland seem to be terrible at every sport; they must be the least athletic, most scrawny, pale people in the world. The only sport they seem to be ok at is that ridiculous sport on ice where they roll something that looks like a massive cheese and then scrub the ice with some old garden brooms....and I've never ever met anyone who's ever played this, so maybe that's why they do well. No one else plays the silly game.

you need to learn the history and understand the periods when Boxing was Tops and superior to different times when it wasn't/isn't...

With all respect Scotland hasn't got a great sporting or boxing heritage. With a cursory production of data I have already made my point.

And I know boxing well - a lot of these so called great boxers I have never heard of, and those I checked most didn't even box in world class.

Look at wales, which has 1/3 less population and the number of great boxers they've had.

Scots are inebriated by pride (and Tennents ) so refuse to admit their shortcomings, and seem to have a pathological obsession pretending how great their country is.....

I think this scene sums it up the best:

We're good at kicking the seven shades of shite out irritating, arrogant little pudenda. I'd like to see you run your stupid little fuckin mouth in any of the pubs over my way. You'd get your head in your hands to play with. Fanny.

Love the trainspotting scene though
