Did Anyone Watch England Win The World Cup Today?

Did anything strike you as odd about it?

And Scotland should've been suspended from football for when the invaded the Wembley pitch in 1977, destroying parts of the pitch.

It's a bit late to still be bitter about this stuff.

[Buenchico]

Yes, Clover. The Barmy Army has indeed reclaimed the St George's Cross for their own use but it's still not that commonly seen being used by non-BA supporters.

Can't see many Union Flags here in the 1967 match.

The chances are, the England fans were using the Union Flag as the flag of England because they didn't know any better.

Bet that lad recognised the hammer & sickle.

The chances are that's the Scottish section of the ground.

You asked, "Did the Scots back then wave the union flag rather than the saltire?"

The photo I linked to, seems to answer that question.

[royfromaus]

Why didn't you say that instead of spouting crap about the English not knowing any better?

"The Barmy Army has indeed reclaimed the St George's Cross for their own use..."

Truly barmy when you consider their main contingent is supporting the England & Wales Cricket Team and a subsidiary 'army' travels in support of the British & Irish Lions.

Oh, didn't see that as odd. We valued the Union, and St. George flags weren't common to buy, folk were happy to identify themselves with the Union flag. England were in the final, but they were the last representatives of the Union.
