Started being more bothered about Scotland as I got older then a few years ago realised the child version of me actually chose correctly and I had been an idiot moving away from that. I wish every disappointment possible on Steve Clarke, his squad full of rancid players and a fan base who’ll happily boo their own player because he plays for my team or hound out a manager before he’s started because he managed my team over a decade ago. Same here, I have loved Holland for years, since I was a kid. Growing up Van Basten, Rijkard, Gullit and Koeman (the good 1, not the shit 1) were my favourite players. I even supported AC Milan also coz 3 of them played for them. GA1972 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Holland and AC Milan for the same reasons, but 'supported'? Fuck me.

I was drawn to them as a kid when we had all the Dutch players at Rangers, Van Bronckhorst was my favourite player here and all my favourite players abroad seemed to be Dutch. Orange kit probably helped as well. I’d never have wanted anything but success for Scotland before though, these days I’d find it hard to wish them anything but embarrassment hopefully a return to the days of getting turned over by the Faroes.

2nd Flute 14,036 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 When I see Scotland fans, I see mongos, wearing kilts, yes voters, snp voters, if the majority of them are Rangers supporters, I'm fucking giving up Paisley Blue Loyal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe owing to our much larger overall support numbers. But i would have thought less than 50% our fans care - still a big number.

Choosing to literally support a random European country is mad though aye I've read that from you but I can't relate. In some sense I support all the home nations in that I'd want us all to qualify for every tournament, and I was wanting England to win against Croatia last summer though not sure I'd have wanted them to win the final. But I'd want any of NI, Scotland or Wales to hammer England. I hear the argument about the SFA or finding it difficult to support celtic players in any capacity etc., but it's unthinkable to me than someone Scottish could support England fervently and over Scotland. dougie76 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be quite passionate about supporting N.Ireland but genuinely when shit hit the fan with Rangers in 2012 I didn't find myself caring about anything else footballing wise mate. I began to resent anything and anyone that was seen to be harming the club and that included the captain of N.Ireland and the useless big cunt that played up front. Those two along with the likes of McGinn being in the team have completely drove me away from it and I don't know if it'll recover at any stage. I realise recently they've found their way back to Rangers and I'll cheer them on while they're here, but the moment they leave again they will return to being nothing to me.
