Quote ="Finsbury Wire"I think it's one of the few things that soccerball beats us at. and it's simple, you have to leave club differences behind.
Unless an england soccerball player does something like getting sent off, the supporters are behind all their players in my opinion. Anyone who isn't a United supporter generally hates Rooney but are happy to pin their hopes on him when he pulls on an England shirt.
(a lot not all)non Wigan supporting RL fans hate sam tomkins for example, and they still will when he pull on the england shirt over the next month.
There is no unity in the fans, get that sorted and its more than half the battle won'"
Exactly the point! For example, i hated Sean Long with a passion when he pulled on a saints jersey, but when i watched him in a GB shirt i'd get cheer him as much as i would any other player! I can understand people may dislike Tomkins for whatever reason they so choose but at least show abit of support for him in the england shirt, at the end of the day he's out there playing for our country! I cant say i'm overly keen on Chase playing for england, mainly because he's not english, but i certainly wont boo him when he's playing for us!
