Thorongil Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I am NOT the emotional type and despise such drama but I actually do feel it today. 🥲 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I watched the Serbia game on ma todd and had a wee greet efter Marshall saved that penalty. My first Scotland memories are Italia 90 as well so hearing Nessun Dorma before the Italy game got me a bit emotional but, again, was on ma todd. Watching the game with ma mates today so dunno if that'll make me better or worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I'll probably cry when I get into Hampden and will absolutely lose it when the team walk out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 Driving home there from dropping the kids off and listening to that Long Time Coming song and there were tears streaming down my face. No hyperventilating or shit like that, but real tears nevertheless. I disapprove of such things normally. what a day. Just hope we play well but I genuinely believe Clarke is not one to shit the bed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Been to loads of qualifiers, Italy 90, France 98 - cant quite believe that its taken us this long.................feels slightly weird that we are hosting a match, and the same guys are not all there together. Also - maybe just me - feels bizarre to be in a tourney that isnt "all in one country" - I prefer the mayhem of all fans together, staying in campsites in the middle of France, shithole brothel style hotels for a night in Bordeaux / St Etienne.............. Will be fine at ko - couple of beers et 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Watching the boys walk out I'll be blubbering like a wee lassie then when flower of scotland starts that's when the water works will happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Was out walking to the shops this morning, seeing a few flags and kids wearing Scotland shirts to school etc. Starting to really sink in that it's happening. I'm 25 so have no recollection of 1998, but have grown up hearing all about it, looking at my Dad's photos from Paris and then reading folks stories on here about running home from school, going to parties/pubs and how the whole country came to a standstill for the Brazil game. Being out this morning was the first time i realised that this is my generation's version of that, something i've imagined and thought about for years but never quite thought would happen. Having tortured myself with the ordeal of going to the games for years, witnessing an ungodly amount of shite, i'll probably find it hard not to get emotional hearing the anthem at a major tournament for the first time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I’ll be a blubbering wreck by the time 2pm comes round. Just went for a walk to clear my head and couldn’t stop thinking about the game, the last 23 years, the folk who have come and gone in that time and everything else in between. Bloody hell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuits Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Absolutely. Not helping by constantly watching YouTube vids.I honestly think my first memory is of the tickertape falling at the 78 world Cup final. Unfortunately don't remember wee archie but I do remember just thinking that this looked amazing.Through Spain 82 - that toepoke from big Narey and us scoring 5 in a game at the World Cup finals!Mexico 86 - not great.Italia 90 - big Pavarotti, the disaster of Costa Rica, Stuart McCall and fans kissing policewomen Euros 96 - missed penalty, some eejit claiming he'd moved the ball and gazza breaking our hearts.France 98 - being the centre of the world and kicking the whole thing off against Ronaldo and co and the humping from Morocco.I, like everyone else, just assumed we always qualified. Never did I imagine we'd have to wait this long to see it.Will I be emotional? Absolutely- this feeling where ridiculous rivalries are put aside and the WHOLE country comes together to cheer on the lads is like nothing else.If this is your first time experiencing this then make it count - watch with your nearest and dearest. Cheer like never before. And maybe, just maybe, this is our time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Glasgow is absolutely buzzing now (cliche alert). Had a couple of beers then heading to McNeill's, our traditional pre-match haunt. Got a 1 - 1.30pm slot. Will be bubbling like a bairn when the teams come out. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysartrovers Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Kilt on, beer bought and flag in window. Been and bought the wee lass a strip and pulling her out of school at one. Cannot wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
