I think Shawn pointed to two major reasons, the last few hundreds
years (funny how people choose to not forget) and the media.
Shawn, I m sorry that all this has happened to you. being spat on is
very sad indeed..
take heart from the fact that you ve learn how to deal wit hit, thats
an achievement.

There was in an incident in Edinburgh last night of a father and his young
son beaten up after the the game because they were wearing England shirts. I
have lived in Scotland 6 years, and I have been spat at while wearing an
England shirt, so I simply don't bother any more. For some reason many Scots
can't forgive the English for what was done 400 and 500 years ago. The media
don't help with the constant ramblings of 1966, yes we won it, but do we
really need to be reminded of it every time England play? Even during a game
during a world cup game that does not include England the commentators
mention it, its boring and unnecessary.
