graeme_4 34,972 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Anyone actually give a fleck about watching Scotland?I can't say I'm ever particularly bothered, I do watch the games on tv, but never go to games. I like to see them win, but certainly wouldn't let it ruin my day (where as when we lose/draw it ruins my week). I do think its a myth that no Rangers fans support Scotland, I believe that we actually make up the higehst percentage of the 'tartan army' (or i might have just made it up -haha!). I'd far rather see them win than England or N.I., I am Scottish, but just find it hard to motivate myself to get excited for games. Any bears on here follow Scotland to the degree they follow Rangers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I am Scots, passionate and proud and absolutely will be watching the games - living in hope of qualifying - but realistic enough to realise it really is only a dream, again!.. and i also believe we still make up the biggest portion of the Tartan Army! Always have - always will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,260 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Don't care either way.I prefer to see then winning, but it doesn't bother me if they don't.That's nothing to do with the fact that I'm a Rangers fan, i just don't really enjoy international football full stop.

graeme_4 34,972 Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 That's nothing to do with the fact that I'm a Rangers fan, i just don't really enjoy international football full stop.Think I could probably be categorised in the same boat. I just find it fairly dull. I was reading an article about some punter who bet on 1-0, 0-0, 0-1 on every game at the world cup last year. Think he made a fortune. Doesn't say a lot for the level of excitement international football brings when this is whats happening even at World Cups. International tournaments are much more about the hype than the actual games I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Rangers still contribute more than any other club to the scottish supportI have been to plenty of scotland games home an dabroadYou can have answers to all your questions by using the search function...someone asks this question every single Scotland game and gets the response and debate that you are no doubt praying for Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 My only hope is that when Scotland play all the Rangers players come back uninjured.No other interest in Scotland's national team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whyte N McKay 17 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I just don't feel anything for the National team. I don't think i've missed a televised game and I take an interest but that's it. No emotional responses from me at all. Which is maybe strange. Don't know why I'm like that. Even Smith as the gaffer and Ferguson the captain didn't make a difference to me.

ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hate it when they get beat because every time the news or you buy a paper its about how they were cheated. They also sing about 5 songs which annoys me. International football is shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Hammer 160 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I don't support Scotland because all they are is a representing team for the SFA, the very same anti-Rangers SFA that has been hammering Rangers more than any other club for years......FUCK THEM.

Colonel Mustard 380 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I used to never miss a game at Hampden, and followed them away a few times too.I still watch them and want them to win, but stopped going years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirrhillLoyal 318 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Watch the games on tv, hardly go I'd rather spend money on rangers.But if we did make it to a major tournament I would have to go, would be to good to miss out on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

debear 603 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I find it sad that a number of fans have turned their back on the national team given that the involvement of Rangers at all levels (players, coaches, management & fans) throughout the years.Rangers and Scotland have numerous links that we should be proud of and celebrate, the national team has a large part in our history.I find it especially sad when folk say its becaise of the Tartan Army, turning their back cause they don't like some sheepshaggers more interested in drinking than football.I guess some traditions are worth figthing over more than most though.

Nicolas Cage 31 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I watch every Scotland game on TV but I don't get a tenth as passionate about them as I do about The Rangers.International football in general is poor, apart from the major tournaments.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 So many reasons for me disliking Scotland and hoping they get pumped. From the SFA, to Levein and Houston to Crainey and Caldwell. Just hope our lads come back unharmed.Rangers first, always. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
