Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm Scottish although I'm living down in England, now this International period has been torture for me. I've not watched one Scotland game - I used to but now I just don't give a shit about the national team. The only way I've seen this international period is, a disruption to me being able to watch Rangers and our new management team in action. I kinda felt that all the videos we were receiving during the initial period of Pedro's reign were to appease us for the time we would have to do without - due to the international break. It was clear that Pedro couldn't do an awful lot before the Hamilton game, so no doubt cameras being involved so much wouldn't have mattered a huge amount. But now the real work has begun all the cameras are off and I'm stuck watching old Rangers videos on youtube! Anyone else feel the same? I'm not anti-Scottish by the way, just pro-my club and have become disillusioned by the way we've been treated by the SFA and by the poor regard in which the rest of Scottish football hold us in.

Young Bob 1,360 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Used to go to every Scotland game at Hampden if I could get a ticket and travel to Windsor Park to see them too. Now I wouldnt make my way to Hampden to watch them if I had a free ticket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it made a big difference when we had so many Rangers players in the Scotland team at one point, now it just makes me feel like I'm watching the scum and why the fuck would I want to watch that?

Fuck bridge building. No . I disagree. It made a difference when we stopped having good players from any team in the squad. I hated Davie Hay , as an example,but I had no problem with him playing for Scotland . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 About 20 odd years ago when Scotland played England in the Euros I celebrated Gazza's goal. I couldn't care less that Gazza's was English, I simply viewed him a Rangers player who had just scored a world glass goal. The Scotland national team are a distant second to those thoughts. That sums up my relationship with the national side. Club football is where my own interest is and I'm sure many others feel the same. These days the national team is like a Celtic tribute act anyway. How can any Bear cheer that shite on? Are you really going to root for guys like Scott Brown, Leigh Griffiths (known racist), or Naismith the backstabbing bastard? No thanks.

RDFM 3,809 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Don't care about international football at all but loathe the breaks they force clubs to take. I passively support Scotland more than anything tbh, would like them to win but don't really care. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the kind of guy who believes eating haggis on Burn's night make me a better Scotsman. I'm not the kind of guy who believes supporting the SNP would make me a better Scotsman. And I'm also not the kind of guy who believes supporting a Scottish international team that discriminates against picking players from my favourite football club, a Scottish international team that represents an association which would gladly have destroyed my favourite football club, and a Scottish International team the majority of whose football fans hate my favourite football club with passion, makes me a better Scotsman. I am a proud Scot. Fuck the Scottish national football team and their associates who are an embarrassment to my proud Scottish traditions.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've kind of lost interest in all football apart from Rangers and to a lesser extant Liverpool. I even strughle to sit through match of the day. That being said the break was probably the best timing ever as it gave the team time to settle into Pedro's new ways.

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 People saying you should support the national squad, just cause.... Fuck off. No Interest whatsoever, my club is Rangers, I will never cheer on some tarrier prick just cause they wear a t-shirt for the country I was born in. You want to support Scotland?

evenstevens 890 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I was a guy who went to some Scotland games and who would make special arrangements for days out around fixtures. I was a fan. Now I'm someone who looks up at the TV and says "huh" when Chris Martin scores and goes back to my phone. That's the SFA and other fans that made me feel that way. I know that because I was more pleased for Martin to score and make the Trannies look like total dicheads for booing him, than I was for him scoring the winning goal for our national team. Go figure!

The same tired arguments about the national team appear on a frequent basis around international weeks. Without wanting to be the BearsDen police, they rarely have nothing to do with Rangers and should be passed onto General Sports. I get it, many people on here want nothing to do Scotland but it often is just a chance to batter the SFA, tartan trannies and players from celtic. I'm not big fan of them either, however it has not a lot to with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
