No.....it is not.  Personally I wouldn't buy one, but each to their own.

I meant as a whole...in response to the post that I responded to....

 

According to some people on here we cannot sing certain songs...cannot wear certain things....etc..etc...just fed up with it.

 

Even if it makes us a laughing stock?

I don't really think that it does.  I understand that some people think that the this shIrt is pointless and an odd England supporter might find it offensive, and I certainly would not wear it....

If you are embarrassed by what other supporters wear and what is sung...then I think you follow the wrong nation.

I am just fed up of the few telling others what to do on here.

Just to add, I think that there will be less of an interest in this tshirt as there historically was.

The reason being that, in my opinion, over the last 10-15 years there has been a definite shift from anti Englishness to pro Scottishness.  In my view that is a good thing.

I am not sure the reasons why there has been a shift? Maybe that we currently operate at different levels and have done so fir a number if years? Maybe politically driven?  Who knows? But I would much rather concentrate on Scotland rather than England. 

For that reason I would rather wear a Scotland top than a t shirt that pokes fun at England, however, as I said earlier it is not my place to lambast another supporter for choosing to wear one.  Each to their own.

To be honest, I'd agree pretty much with all of that.   One thing though is that it's not Anti-English, at least not in a xenophobic or McGlashanesque manner, it has/had - I hope - a bit of humour.  The subtext is a bit of "we're so shite it's unbelievable" self deprecating in that we don't have any players ourselves worthy of the "award".
