ENGLAND fans went darts ‘n barmy over the latest misfortune of the Tartan Army.
A large group of supporters at the European Darts Open in Leverkusen interrupted their enjoyment of finals’ night to celebrate something else more more – news of Scotland’s Euro 2024 exit.
The uncharitable fans showed they weren’t backing the whole of Britain in Europe.
Many waved beers or even tops above their heads as the Scots saw both Group A results go against them – when they needed both in their favour.
The first leg of their double strop came as Germany nicked a late equaliser but not the victory required against Switzerland.
The Scots’ latest unwanted check-out was then confirmed soon after.
Kevin Csoboth slotted home a Hungary winner 10 minutes into stoppage time added for a worrying injury to Barnabas Varga.
Many England fans at the darts tournament in Germany responded with whoops of delight.
A chorus of “Scotand’s going home and England’s on the p***” rang round the venue.
And reaction online from revellers apparently in Leverkusen included: “Absolutely superb night!”
Germany’s Wags range from a glam architect to a leading equestrian and a fashion model.
Dani ter Stegen (Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s wife)
One of Germany’s most popular Wags with over 600,000 Instagram followers. Earned a degree in architecture after moving to Barcelona with her husband.
Sara Gundogan (Ilkay Gundogan’s wife)
Italian model was never shy to pop a dig at Manchester while Ilkay was at Man City, but has changed her tune and said she misses the city since his move to Barcelona.
Jessica Kroos (Toni Kroos’ wife)
Couple first met when Toni was 18 and she was 20. Jessica is credited with convincing the soon-to-retire Germany star to sign a new Real Madrid deal at a time when he was wavering.
Candice Brook (Leroy Sane’s girlfriend)
American model helped Harry Kane get used to Germany and overcome the language barrier following his move to Bayern Munich.
Sophia Weber (Kai Havertz’s fiancee)
Soon-to-be Mrs Havertz has struck up a close friendship with Martin Odegaard’s partner Helene Spilling. Sophia recently enjoyed a hen party in Ibiza.
Lisa Muller (Thomas Muller’s wife)
Lisa is a famous dressage rider in Germany and reportedly convinced her husband not to join Man Utd.
Such responses don’t don’t bode well if the Three Lions were hoping for support from the rest of Britain on Tuesday and beyond.
Gareth Southgate’s men need to beat Slovenia in their own group finale to avoid facing Germany in the last 16.
And after the reception from one section of Three Lions’ fans they can expect an even more ‘arrowing experience at the hands of some Scottish counterparts if they contrive to mess it all up!
Meanwhile, Dave Chisnall notched his seventh European Tour title – edging out fellow Englishman Ross Smith 8-6 in Sunday’s final.
Smith roared back to level from 6-3 down, including a 144 checkout.
But Chisnall moved 7-6 up with a 132 finish and wrapped up his triumph with a two-dart 100 kill.
The Morecambe star now lies behind only Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price and Peter Wright for Euro titles.
“This means everything,” Chisnall said – which also seemed to sum up the attitude of England supporters nearby to Scotland’s misfortune.
