I care about how Partick Thistle do. I also care how Scotland do, just not anywhere near as much. I get that I just find it really strange. I just don't see how it matters. It's of no importance either way. Donald trump could buy partick tomorrow then give them the best five years of their history before tossing them aside like a used jizzrag. Couldn't do that to Scotland. Scotland isn't a company or business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy85 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I’d be lying if I said I was surprised that Peppino continues to reel everyone in. It has reached the stage where those continually biting are the bigger cretins imo. I hate you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The only international team I've ever supported was Team GB in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 That said @Peppino Impastato what do you think of English people playing for Scotland in order to boost their profile by playing international because they're too shite to play for their actual country?

They're eligible so have a strong connection to Scotland. Best of luck to them. And I don't agree that's why they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I presume Matt Phillips was born in England, spent his whole youth in England, played for two different age groups for England and has only ever played in England but held a strong desire to actually play for Scotland the whole time because of his granny?

Monkey Tennis Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Despite going ludicrously over the top with his drivel about Thistle being too shite and irrelevant for him to watch, Pep actually has a smidgen of a point in highlighting how clubs can buy success in a way that national sides can't. Despite the huge imbalance inherent in getting different nations to compete, there is actually something purer about it than we see at the top of the club game. Obviously, it's unfashionable on here to elevate the international game, but that alone isn't enough to make it pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nastro Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Sorta depends on ‘which club’ and ‘what country’ really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my point. I don’t like football, I like Dundee. My dad and grandad supported the club, as do I. If Dundee ceased to exist I’d probably never go to another game of football again. Thank you.

He may well have a very tiny point in it being purer but the fact the all time top scorer in world cup history is a Polish man who decided to play for Germany kinda negates it. While international teams can't go out and spend hundreds of millions, many of them still find ways to use other nations better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
