Is he not out on loan or am I thinking of last season. If hes not, does he make their starting XI often or sub on often? Just trying to find out how much weaker this should make them. Cheers Armstrong is a Southampton player mate but on a side note the 3 players in the Scotland squad who have to isolate, Armstrong, Tierney and Christie are all connected to The Nappy Rippers, Add into the mix a physio and a masseuse also have to isolate and The mind boggles as to what might have went on 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vision 16,729 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Too many are failing to separate the team from the Country, I'm still proud to say I'm Scottish and British. I have a chuckle when the team lose, but their only the present occupants of the national team, same with the snp. It's up to us to evict them and get our Country back.

gmcf 34,212 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm sure there's a bit if an age thing in this . Like a lot of older bears I can remember the days when the Scotland support was made up mostly of Rangers fans , and plenty of times when the backbone of the team itself , were made of Rangers players . We went through plenty of good times together from bi-annual trips to Wembley , even on Rangers Supporters buses , the excitement of WC and EC qualifying campaigns and the finals themselves , and its times like these that puts gas in the tank when it comes to still supporting Scotland . The younger bears on the other hand , don't owe Scotland a thing . A combination of the way the club was treated , the amount of influence generated from the east end of glasgow in the running if the game , the booing of our players by the tartan trannies , and a twisted political climate where most of us no longer want to be associated with a saltire in case we're portrayed as nationalists , makes it understandable of them feeling alienated from our national team . I've still got gas in the tank , but by fuck , I'm close to running on empty . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it annoy you? A small part of me is actually quite annoyed I can’t support my country because it’s full of nationalist, Rangers hating bastards and I think the reason I can’t support Scotland is why I hate international football so much. Much of the rot set in for me after the way the SFA went at Graeme Souness. Then there was the Duncan Ferguson witch-hunt. The rabid anti-English crap when we signed Butcher, Woods, Roberts, etc. The SFA being run by rabid people who despise Rangers and our fans. British-hating players playing for Scotland and then nationalist teuchters dressing like extras from Baveheart and then acting like clowns every where they go. Booing Rangers players in a Scotland top. I'll never again watch Scotland play. My first Scotland game was in 1962 watching a 2 nil win. Used to go to every home game including Scottish League v others. Now I don't even switch on the TV for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyscott1963 18,329 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 5 times at wembley up to 1981. And gave the bastards my dosh plenty of times at hampden. NOW!!...wouldn't cross the road to watch them. Could not give 2 fucks they never made another tournament....EVER. One of the biggest turn off's were the tartan trannies and the way they behaved. Remembered sitting among the England fans and it was good natured bants. Then the english hating bigots turned up. Now it's a shame to even tell people i'm scottish.

When Scotland scored the winning penalty i never felt the slightest flicker of emotion and that says it all to me. I watched the Scotland v England game with my brother-in-law, when the Thumb scored the two free kicks, he was hitting the ceiling and I sat more or less emotionless. Nothing could make me celebrate anything that wee rhodent does, I can’t suddenly not despise him for 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game summed up everything about the national team. Had the beating of England and then blew it as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhrfc 2,242 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Can’t be arsed with international football, no more so than as than Scotland vs England. If had been good enough I could have played for either, but everything about both of them I despise. Roll on the OF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Watching Scotland would bore ye to tears, even a decent player in the Scotland team looks like the biggest dumpling that ever kicked a ball youd have to pay abt £20m for mcginn Abt £15-£20m For mctominy and say £3-£4m For jack and the 3 of them look absolute garbage. They look worth that value minus the M after the number Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Ranger 3,195 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Used to go to most Scotland games at hampden but like many Rangers supporters became disillusioned and detached from supporting them.Forced myself to watch last night mainly because of Jack’s involvement but after 40 minutes of soul destroying pish I switched over to the NI game. Much prefer watching NI and have no problem cheering them on, can’t say the same about Scotland anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Enclosure Row N 2,823 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I used to love following the Scotland team. As a kid - the whole country united. It was great. The 1979 referendum failed, and it had no lasting effect. Along came the hatred and bile from nationalists in the 2014 referendum. It too failed, but it won't go away. The nationalists have divided this country, it's people and pitted brother against brother ever since. This bile has infiltrated the tartan army along with massive anti-Rangers feelings. For that reason - the whole lot can just fuck right off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
