It’s been a fine few weeks for the home nations.
England qualified for the Euro 2016 finals undefeated, Northern Ireland followed suit on Thursday before Wales made history by booking their place at their first finals since 1958.
Sadly Scotland went crashing out of qualifying and won’t be joining the party in France next summer.
But instead of putting a consolatory arm around our northern cousins, the people of the internet mocked. And they mocked hard.

Scotland, can you look after Britain for a few weeks next summer? Help yourself to whatever is in the fridge.
