I don't think I've ever been more worked up about a game since Scotlans vs England in 96, was gutted when Gazza scored. But back then the Scotland side was full of Rangers players and attending games wasn't akin to attending a nationalist rally. Like our public services and media, the national side has been hijacked as a vehicle to promote nationalism. Unionists are not welcome. Most of the squad is celtic past, celtic present or celtic future. I don't like those players 50 weeks of the year, I can't switch my feeling on and off for 2 weeks of the summer. The manager is an absolute cretin. The double standards applied to Scotland fans compared to us is beyond belief, compare the response to: Steve Clarke being called a "sad fenian b" to Southgate being called a "sad English b"; Scotland fans singing anti English songs to Rangers fans singing anti Irish songs; Scotland fans ignroing covid and gathering in London, Rangers fans gathering in George sq; Scotland fans trashing London, Rangers fans doing it at George sq; Scotland fans fighting amongst themselves; Rangers fans fighting amongst themselves. It is absolutely sickening. Look at all the rampant celtic fans you know, how many of them ever watched Scotland before? They all supported Ireland now they're all over social media with Scotland flags and strips, that tells you all you need to know about the direction of travel.... This. before 2012 i had always supported Scotland but that changed. Then, as you rightly point out the national team has been hijacked by Nationalists. It's a sad day that I barely flinched at full time yesterday but that's the sad reality of where Scotland is at as a country just now.

KeyserSoze 14,438 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Changed days when the national team had its fair share of Rangers players in it. That was good enough for most bears to support Scotland, there was some form of connection (not just about where you were born) now it’s full of championship players and the odd Timaloy because all the best Scottish players aren’t really good enough to play for Rangers now (bar the odd one or two). Meaning we have lost that connection I’m watching the games but don’t feel that connected tbh Negri's lovechild and gmcf 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also born a Ger to a family that started in Kinning Park and i could never support any other club side either.
