Paisley Blue Loyal 11,117 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Born and Bred in Scotland, I moved to England 30 years ago when i was 21 for work and over the years have made many friends who are english, I did however alway's remain fiercely patriotic to my country of birth and used to feel absolutely gutted if Scotland lost to England but with the rise of the Nationalists in Scotland who detest all things assosciated with the Union of the United Kingdom including Rangers i now find my patriotism for Scotland being severely tested, I am not english as i was not born or brought up in England but i do now find myself hoping that England fucking pump Scotland on Friday night as the thought of seeing The Poison Fucking Dwarf grinning like a fucking cheshire cat and gloating like fuck if Scotland miraculously managed to beat England makes my skin fucking crawl, I know we should be able to separate sport from politics and still support our national country regardless of politics but you just fucking know that if Scotland win this match these poisonous and odious nationalist supporting cunts will celebrate as if they won a fucking war and not a football match, Sorry to say but it looks like nationalism has drained The Patriotism from my very being Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyruff 622 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Nowadays patriotism for the national football team has become the second cheek of the same arse together with nationalism, just look at the attitude and behaviour of the tartan trannies to see this. Further proof would be their hatred of all things Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it if Rangers infiltrates the Scots support and took their national team back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'm not a fan of either patriotism or nationalism tbh. The latter quite often develops from the former and the latter is really only the former having been influenced, corrupted and radicalised by other things. Seems to me that those kinds of sentiment are rarely positive. They can also be taken advantage of all too easily by cynical scoundrels and tyrants. Let's go for a dramatic analogy!... Patriotism is the volcano, nationalism is the eruption. With wee devastated, hawf buried communities in their wake and deed cunts everywhere. Willing to play at it for the purposes of football, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai_Johansen 978 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The hardest part about supporting Scotland at the moment is "Strachan" a nauseating rodent of a man! And as long as the majority hold fast, the nationalists will eventually be defeated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already taken our flag as their own which is very annoying and I now have a Lion Rampant and a Union flag on our car. So I agree while it is not easy supporting Scotland at the moment I still do with gritted teeth because I cannot let the bastards take our country from us. We are not in the minority, although it feels like it most of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriotism is the volcano, nationalism is the eruption. With wee devastated, hawf buried communities in their wake and deed cunts everywhere. Willing to play at it for the purposes of football, though. Per Orwell: Quote Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism. By 'patriotism' I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality."

Big Al 55 9,241 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Im proud to be Scottish, proud to be British...reasonably indifferent about the National team, although I do object to being told how to feel by anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'place' would be the place I live, inhabited by the people I know. It wouldn't be a country. My problem is other people. Other people let patriotism become nationalism too often. Their patriotism tends to relate to a country, which seems to me a bit blind and tends more towards being about prestige and exaggerated differences and ego and less about belonging. Nationalism, in other words. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieMacRFC 850 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 As a proud Scotsman I feel I have been severely tested by the going ons in the last few years. I used to shout for the national team and thought this would never change but sadly not anymore. I do hope we beat England but I really want change and Strachan and Mcghee out so I am conflicted and confused. All I do know is my Love for Rangers and that will never change.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 The fans hate us. The manager and coaching staff hate us. The blazers upstairs hate us. The majority of the players are taigs. I get told from people who run about in skirts and timberland boots, constantly screaming anti-English and British bile, that I'm a bigot and full of hate. Fuck them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt genuinely heartened by that. The united silence was extremely moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
