Marooned In Oz Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The whole, entire reason why I couldn't give a **** about scotland. Scotland fans are ****s (see Miko, on field decisions while Miko at Hearts, turning a blind eye to scotland players diving, singling out Hearts players for booing while they play for Lithuania, wearing jimmy hats.............) :keys: **** them. What a dickhead. Being Scottish and hating Scotland fans. You couldnt make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgie rd eh11 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Exactly. Its so pathetic and even worse that its the same crop of moronic posters who try and raise the bar every international week. You would think some people might have a slither of a social life outside of kickback but it seems not so. If Scotland fail to make the play offs (more than likely) these chumps will have one hand on the keyboard and the other on their tadger. If Scotland do make the play offs they will be thinking, oh wait, ****, i could maybe a get a ticket to the next game eh. What the **** has this thread got to do with a persons social life. With nearly 6000 posts you maybe need to get out, chump. I hope Scotland make the play offs but i wouldn't take a free ticket to go and see them.

Jambothroughandthrough Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yes, FANS are all hypocrites. We know that. But shouldn't our MEDIA be impartial. Aren't they meant to report the FACTS. Therefore, cheating, in their eyes, should be DEPLORABLE regardless of whether it helps or hinders Scotland. What annoys lots of Hearts fans is the borderline racism shown by our media towards all things Lithuania and Vladimir Romanov. I remember hearing a very well know journalist on the radio bemoan the fact that Hearts were full of sub standard Lithuanians at the expense of good young Scottish talent, and practically suggesting it was our fault that the national team was mince. I texted the radio show at the time to point out that actually Hearts had MORE home grown players playing for us that day than BOTH the OF put together. AND, we had the SAME number of Lithuanians playing for us that day as Rangers and I think Dundee United, 1 each. But, as per usual, never let the facts get in the way of a good story. mmmmmmm...Naw. The Scottish media are NO different from any other national broadcaster in the world if they feel their national team have been wronged. Just one example....look at the Lampard goal that wasn't given against Germany. Lineker and Shearer were nearly in tears and lambasting the ref etc etc etc etc etc etc. I have no issue whats so ever with the SCOTTISH media backing our NATIONAL TEAM when they are in action. Why anyone would have an issue with our very own media backing our national team is beyond me. My biggest gripe with our national bradcaster at the moment is the lack of enthisiasm that came out the mic in our must win game against Lichtenstein the other night. Liam McLeod and Kevin Gallacher were dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't. Look at the media in the likes if Italy....Spain....Brazil....England. Need I go on? The only point I will agree with is that certain media individuals should be a bit more impartial when it comes to doing their week to week job when reporrting in the SPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benoit Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's not their impartiality I have an issue with it's when they take the moral high ground on issues like Miko or the Czech player but ignore dives by O' Conner and Berra in the same games. The irony of the whole thing seems lost on them although it shouldn't give folk an excuse for the anti-Scotland guff they come out with but it seems to on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Personaly ive never pretended to score for scotland,all in football that is important to me is hearts the rest i really couldnt give a toss about.The lithuanian is only 1 angle for my dislike of scotland,i couldnt bring myself to cheer on the likes of mcgregor,naismith,brown etc where every other week id gladly see them break a leg. Under brown and roxburgh so many hearts players were overlooked or not given as many caps as they deserved which is also another reason i dislike them,like i said its all about hearts for me i cant turn a blind eye to my dislike to hibs,celtic,rangers fans,the media etc every now and again and stick on a see you jimmy wig and pretend im proud to be scottish. I choose to support hearts and im proud to be a hearts supporter. I just happened to be born in this country and have no real pride for it, I have tried to get into the scotland thing when i was younger but i just had no feelings or connection with it and over the years the only feeling thats grown for the national team is hate What a shite attitude really, neither wonder we are a nation of losers at all levels...

My biggest gripe with our national bradcaster at the moment is the lack of enthisiasm that came out the mic in our must win game against Lichtenstein the other night. Liam McLeod and Kevin Gallacher were dire. With the Miko thing, the witch-hunt that came afterwards was vile (one example being Gordon Waddell in the pages of the Sunday Mail referring to him as a regular performer of the five-knuckle shuffle - JKB filter won't let me use the 'W' word but that's what Waddell used) and hypocritical given how the player had been hounded beforehand (Bill Leckie's diatribe in the Scottish Sun a few weeks before the game likened Miko as a footballing "Devil Incarnate"). Given the over the top flack flung at Miko during his time at Hearts before that game, of course he was going to take some sort of revenge come the day of that game. When he did it my first thought was "Some chickens in Scottish football are coming home to roost". Hence what happened afterwards was hypocritical which was reinforced given Miko apologised to Hearts supporters and Hearts supporters alone for his dive.

See Ronaldo got after that "wink" at World Cup 06. The furore over Miko was there before the dive against Scotland. That dive is now commonly used as an excuse for his hounding, it intensified it, but Miko was already public enemy number one in the eyes of scottish football.

Liam McLeod and Kevin Gallacher were dire. Yes, perhaps all media outlets in all countries are bias but it went well beyond simple biasness with Lithuania. It was racist and Xenophobic. I have rarely seen such hatred and such a consistent campaign than the one launched against all things Lithuanian. If I recall correctly, Richard Gordon, the front man to our main radio, and sometime TV, sports programme said Miko should go back home in what was a disgraceful rant, which had it been launched against an Asian or African nation would have seen him lose his job. I firmly believe the campaign extended to the SFA and match officials and that this was the intention of the media. I still want Scotland to qualify but if we do not, I will not shed a tear and nor will I blame Lithuania if they fail to do their job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
