Americans React | KEVIN BRIDGES | English vs Scottish Football | REACTION

[@sdfilmproductions4193]

Scottish countryside is unbelievably beautiful. And don't ever be afraid to go anywhere in Scotland. People will chat away and help you. Especially in the highlands and islands. We don't even bother locking our doors most of the time. American tourists missed the train once so we invited them for tea (dinner) they had a great time and stayed the night!! They still email us at Christmas!!🤣👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Niiiice!! My house growing up was right beside the Kennacraig ferry to Islay and Jura, and the amount of people we let stay in our caravan that had missed the last Ferry was unbelievable! We had the same guy ask us if he could just call us and stay whenever he came back. I swear once you get out of the central belt everyone is just sound af!! We see it as a sport to be nice!! 😅

[@Mantis_Toboggan_MD.]

When he mentions Scottish football, the reason for the tension in the room (which he acknowledges) is that this was filmed in Glasgow and the football rivalry in Glasgow is intense to put it mildly. I won't bore you with a longwinded explanation as to why that is the case but just take it from me there is nothing in American sports that comes remotely close to the intensity of the rivalry between Celtic/rangers (commonly referred to as "The old firm" ) in Scotland. It is a VERY touchy subject for any public figure to bring up, let alone a comedian.

[@Skankhunt42....]

Well, not just that, the tension really came from the time this was filmed. Rangers had just declared bankruptcy and been relegated down to the lowest level of Scottish football as a result. Lots of people probably thought he was gonna make jokes about that and that would divide the room haha. He is a Celtic fan after all, so is Billy Connolly. All the funny Glaswegians lol

[@paulmidsussex3409]

Lets be honest nothing in American sports comes remotely close to the intensity of the rivalry between Crystal Palace and Brighton let alone Celtic/Rangers.

[@Mantis_Toboggan_MD.]

This was filmed in 2012 in the SECC ( Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre) which held about 10,000 or thereabouts. Some of the references have dated now. "The Pope's a Bundesliga man" is a reference to the fact that the Pope at that time was a German (Pope Benedict XVI). The "Bundesliga" is the German equivalent of the "Premier League" The reason for the "Feel the tension in the room" line is that earlier in 2012 Rangers Football Club had suffered some erm "financial difficulties" shall we say and owed the UK tax man in excess of £100 million as well as many other parties (including a face painter!) and to bring this up in front of a Glasgow audience (of whom probably 50% support rangers) would honestly be like bringing up '9/11' to a New York Audience in 2002. The entire crowd are thinking "Where are you going with this Kevin...."

As a Londoner who used to be a long distance delivery driver, I loved going to Scotland, stunning, beautiful scenery. I also love the Scot's as they are proud, tough, down to earth people, similar to a lot of Londoners. I find the media make up a lot of the supposed anamosity between the English and the Scot's, in my experience it's mainly friendly banter and piss taking. Personally, I hope Scotland always remains part of the UK.✌️

If you Google the all time Scottish football champions list, 99% of the time the champions would be either Celtic or Rangers and that is why he said it was a two horse race, until a few years ago when Rangers had the financial problems Kevin mentioned and Rangers were "relegated" to the 4th tier and until Rangers got back to the top tier it was a one horse race, hence he said Scottish football turned into show jumping.

"the old firm derby" is the name given whenever the two Glaswegian football teams "Rangers" and "Celtic" compete with each other. In history, Rangers are loyal to the English royal crown, whereas Celtic are opposed to English royalty. Which usually leads to highly aggressive confrontations between the fans of each club making the old firm derby one of the most violent and aggressive derbies in the world

The Crown is British or perhaps German, I think if you had to choose both the crown and any pretenders that are left are more Scottish than English.
