La_Leyenda Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 It's the ones that couldn't care less about the game they've supposedly gone to see. See it at loads of games, home and away, including last week in Warsaw. Always people with no interest with what's happening on the pitch. As for kilts, I've never worn one to any game, home or away. Been asked twice why I've not got a kilt on. What can you do except laugh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Easy Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 There were two Scotland fans acting like total c***s on the Whizz Air flight back to Liverpool last Wednesday, sadly not arrested from what I seen. But they had their passport details etc taken by the air hostess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Axle Grease Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Wankers. Campaign badges, to prove they've been on a crusade as a foot-soldier. No you haven't, you've been away pissing it up and visiting brothels, whilst dressed like an extra from Brigadoon. Self righteous tosspots and thankfully on the slide in numbers. How many Pheasants died to have their arse feathers stuck in a wanky Glengarry hat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that quite strange. Not at all...perhaps as a wee boy your dad took you to see the club that he supported and you loved that team....then you grew up and got to ' know the history ' and it was enough to make your stomach 'go turn turn turn turn' . So your country becomes your 'club' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelling to watch football, especially someone you support, is one of the best things in life. Well, I can promise them one but not the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As are their most vocal critics. The sort of people who think they are the first people to point out Braveheart isn't historically accurate 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way it should be. I've been to Hampden just a few times but, whilst 3 points are fair and well, I behave myself but a night out and a jolly's the main thing to me.

Both the "whar's yer kilt?" and the Glasgow uni accented youth too cool for school are as tragic as each other. The Glengarry lot are a bit embarrassing, those hats are ridiculous, but don't mind a kilt (never woren one to a game) and yes it's a bit twee but then again other counties play up a bit to their 'stereotypes' at times : Mexicans in wrestling masks; Japanese headbands; Nordic nations with Viking helmets. I'd be more concerned about the lack of creativity, atmosphere or new songs in the Scotland support these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Its a good rule of thumb that people that slag the Tartan Army are total wanks. Its like people that don't like tea, there's just something wrong with them. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you need a club team? I am really going off the club game for many reasons but mainly the old firm, I just can't stand everything about them and as they are all we hear about on TV and radio I have decided I don't want any part of it anymore. I still love football so now mainly support Scotland as that is all that's left to me and I feel I can avoid them a lot more than if you follow an SPFL team. Have I to loyally follow a club to appease you? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I've been to a few away matches in my time, and I can honestly say that the guys who wear the hats have an air of self entitlement and arrogance that the others do not. (And no I don't wear the silly hat) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Neither hear nor there with them. I do get the Disdain for the ‘love us’ mentality that Celtic fans also have abroad but would rather that than the wee wanks that seem to inching in to our (Celtics) support. What I do find amusing is that that they love to tell you that they go to EVERY game which tbh is way fucking easier and cheaper than supporting a club side, especially one in Europe. They have months to organise going away, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Like any big group of people, there are wankers who take it too far.But I'd agree with the view that the tartan army haters are far bigger c***s.I've probably been to more than half of the home games in the last 20 years but I've yet to go to an away game. Definitely on the bucket list, but like a lot of folk i was going to wait for a major tournament. The best laid schemes, eh... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 The thought of only supporting the Scottish national team is genuinely terrifying. What a miserable life. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club football is just a bunch of mercenaries who couldn't give the slightest f**k about your club who pretend that they do for a few years cause they offered fifty quid a week more than anybody else. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
