    I'm pretty sure most people have been referring to the team as team GB? Do people really have to moan about everything?

    Can't help but feel that was a dig at Scottish people
    If you would rather do pretty badly as Team Scotland, then that's your personal opinion. I haven't heard any other Scottish people asking for their own team, personally. There are some really prominent Scottish members of Team GB and NI anyway, so I don't think it's all bad. Your desire for a Scottish team is clearly rooted in your dislike for unity, which is fair enough, just your opinion.

    As a Scott i laugh at all the independence stuff. Seriously we get most of out money from English taxes.

    If there's not many Scottish athletes on team GB surely that means there's not many top Scottish athletes. Otherwise there would be more on the team?
    Why the negatives lol, I just stated that the guy that's been hitting the news is Scottish and has an obvious accent. Also, Andy Murray, think he's English isn't he

    As a joint Welshman and Briton, I'm very proud of Team GB.

    I also think the not singing the anthem at the football is pathetic personally.
    Agreed.
