It would seem from this thread there are many English people who hate the Scots. It makes me sad that Humans, a supposedly intelligent species, can hate other Humans for no rational reason.

No. The friends that I have who are football fans are upset, but not surprised, that Scotland is out.
They will continue to watch the football, but they are not all going to start cheering for the team that isn't Scotland.
There is anti-Scottish comments on this (and other) sites - I don't know why.

I remember well what Andy Murray said of the England team:

I think it's probably pretty standard behaviour among football fans but I wouldn't diss the Scots for doing it as I expect there would be the same feeling by some of the English if Scotland and Wales had progressed and they hadn't. Trying to deny there is strong rivalry between home nations is naive imo. We do not all love each other.
I saw a lovely report on the BBC when Denmark were playing Wales and the interviewer asked the young Danish fans what they thought of the lack of Welsh supporters for the match. Their reply was that it was a shame as the game wouldn't be complete without the opposing team's supporters in numbers. Now that tells me a lot about the sporting nature of the Danes.
Andy Murray when he uttered those words. Unfortunately, his PR team had him issuing an apology, saying he was just joking. Many a true Scot wants England to lose, no matter who they are playing. Football is tribal, and there is no bigger tribal rivalry than England v Scotland. Next door but one to me is a Scot and he had the Ukraine colours hanging from his window last night. No doubt i'll be seeing the Danish colours on Wednesday. All good fun :-)
How churlish of certain Scottish folk to spitefully prefer any football team to win over England. We are all of the same geographically, and united we are stronger. I imagine the London bubble has made many feel disenfranchised from effective decisions that effect their lives. Well, the rest of the UK also feel that way too.
