crichiejambos Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Listening to off the ball,topic the Scotland game now Cosgrove especially gets right into it and you can sence his enthusiasm and passion for the national team, and fair play to him as anyone else who travels home and away following them, but for me I just can't get the same interest! I'm no anti Scotland far from it scottish and proud of it,if they get a result fine but doesn't put me up nor down if they don't, unlike if Hearts get beat then that fecks up my weekend! Can you feel the same about them both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I will be bothered about a Scotland defeat for about an hour after the game then am over it. Lot harder to get over a hearts defeat. Used to cry like a wee pussy when I was younger if we got beat of hibs or the old firm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Doodle Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I personally have little attachment to the Scotland team. I don't follow them week to week and have less than memorable experiences from attending the odd match years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Dance Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm a total glory hunter when it comes to Scotland. At the moment, I quite like that we have the opportunity to reach a tournament. When that fails, I'll not be bothered. Always club first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartofgold Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Excellent OP Hearts always first but Scotland a close second. That goal v the RoI had me (and my Hibs and Celic mates) on my feet cheering like a mad yin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarrysRightFoot Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hearts then Scotland. Go to Scotland games and enjoy it - most of my mates support different teams so it's good we can all go to games together and be behind the same team. Scotland results don't bother as much as Hearts but imagine of Scotland qualified and heaven forbid done well at a major championships - I think it would be different. It would be brilliant and everyone would be united - I'd love us to do what Greece achieved it 2004 it would be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 If I had to choose between a Champions League win for Hearts or a World Cup win for Scotland, I'd take the world cup every day of the week. I am an expat but i felt the same when I lived at home too, I love how the national team brings my extended family together for a cause like nothing else does. Maybe it's a result of being not very good for a while but it's noticeable that people are generally less into the national team these days, it's a real shame imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luton Jambo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Heart first and last. Zero interest in international football. Didn't even know Scotland played midweek until today or that they are playing tomorrow until I noticed there was no premier league games this weekend. Hate the international breaks and the best thing about being in the championship for me is we still get a game on those weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hearts first but really do want Scotland to qualify again for a tournament, especially if England, and even worse, Wales qualify. Just a shame our group is so brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I will always support my country with pride and expect any hearts player called up to give his all for his country no matter what games the club have going on.

Kmeister Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 i support both equally and as they'll never play each other then there will never be a clash of loyalties. I have had some superb trips watching Scotland going to places I wouldn't have otherwise gone to. Hearts for the week in week out support, Scotland every couple of months. Can't see why anybody can't support a club side and their respective National team with equal passion and commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerah Jambo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Many years ago when I was growing up we didn't have the stickers you have now and it was cigarette cards and the absolute delight I got when one of the players photos said Hearts and Scotland under his picture has never left me, to me that biggest accolade any player could have after his name.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 As a teenager and into my early 20's I went to lots of Scotland games. As I've gotten older and wiser I've realized the whole Scotland international set up is a total farce. Not interested in the least. I pay slightly more attention if a Hearts player is involved but only to see that they're not responsible for the defeat. I want them to do well.

Still greeting like a wee lassie 7 months after the event. Grow up. OT: Hearts play most weeks of the year, Scotland play 6-10 times, and most are meaningless games (we've played ourselves out of contention in a qualifying group or a friendly). Hearts over Scotland every time. However, if Scotland have meaningful games I enjoy them and the result matters to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Both. If Hearts were playing Scotland though, I'd be 100% Jambo! Not as into Scotland as I once was. I worked on Wednesday night and listened to game on radio. If it were Hearts I'd have watched it or been there. Going to Faro for Gibraltar game in October and would love it if a win got us to France 2016. It's been a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wibble Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Scotland have been tarnished beyond doubt by the usual old firm selection bias. Don't even bother to look for results.
