I knew a few Scotmen who were kind of ticked that the news reported them as British when they won in Sporting events, and as Scottish when they didn't.

I think you'll find that that the following quote (from one of my favorite movies) may well express the sentiments of many Scots towards the English:

Quote:
Tommy: Doesn't it make you proud to be Scottish?
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: It's ****E being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the ****ing Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete *******s. It's a ****E state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ****ing difference!
