MacK1950 2,231 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Does not matter to me now what happens with Scotland yet years ago I would go to as many as I could. A succession of putrid managers and now the "green eyed god" has totally put me off. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinkyman 0 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Not overly fussy nowadays about Scotland games but, in the absence of anything else, I might watch the match this weekend. I can honestly say, "I don't even know who they are playing or where" 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I can honestly say, "I don't even know who they are playing or where" I was a tiny bit embarrassed when an English mate asked me who we were playing... :blush: It no longer feels like *my* team. Although I'm probably sufficiently weak in that if we started to do really, really well, I might jump on the bandwagon. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I always thought it was a shame we didn't have two Walter Smiths - one for Scotland and one for us after Le Guen. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,489 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I hate when Rangers aren't playing to be honest. Very much a club first, country second man especially after the last few years 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,245 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) When I grew up, I liked the British teams (usually stuffed with British players) playing that kind of honest football - i.e. with a bit of respect, getting up when fouled without rolling about like being castrated, not playing for free kicks and cheating opposition players and referees alike. You had to accept that there was not that much technical ability and tactcal finesse involved. Times have changed though. I was irritated when Davie Cooper was hardly ever playing for Scotland despite his obvious talent. And that went on and on and on. The last four years probably didn't count, but while I look out for the scoreline, I'm not exactly bother about Scotland these days. It is, in fact, moe interesting to see the Ulstermen or Welsh try their luck at the bigger stage, as they seem to play to these old values I once looked for. Right now, I would be more interested to know whether we'll play a closed-doors friendly to keep everyone sharp.

They have many a diver in their team (as Scotland found out recently). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_Mcnoleg 50 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I care less than I used to but that's less to do with the SFA (who've always been dicks) and far more because supporting Scotland is so fucking depressing. I can remember nearly being in tears as France pummeled us in Vogts' first game in charge but these days us getting thumped is more likely to elicit a shrug of the shoulders. Just get worn out. Nice to see a couple of Rangers in the squad though and would be even nicer if they gave us all something to cheer about. There were some promising signs in the Euro qualifiers so hopefully regain a bit of momentum. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyk 158 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Not seen a Scotland game in years and don't plan to start watching them again anytime soon. I have better things to do with my time 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
