I’m still shaking my head at the prices , thank god I don’t follow the national team* , maybe Roxburgh and brown done me a favour in turning me away . *dont follow them but aside from last night ( for financial gain) I don’t want them beat , in fact I was gutted at the England draw, I'm the same about not wanting them beat but completely understand why fans are giving up on them. The Scottish media etc dont understand why this Glasgow obsession is having an effect. It's not just in football though, it is in everything. I even heard someone say that Glasgow humour is Scotland's humour etc. Even at the weekend there was reports on BBC Scotland about the trouble at the Glasgow marches but nothing about the political demonstrations. If it's happening in Glasgow, it's well down the pecking order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lithuania Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 You now have a generation of young Scots who have never saw Scotland at a major tournament. I was 4 in 1998, and I can barely remember it. Personally couldn’t give a **** how Scotland do at football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an element of that, sure. The counter to that is guys who are getting first team football and doing well at their clubs. The hooped demon contingent in the Scotland squad for example.

Absolutely and I’d say the celtic midfield along with McGinn Armstrong McTominnay (sp) should be better than what they seem to perform for the national team . Also why has it been for so long a player doing well for their club has to wait until they’ve signed for celtic or sevco before getting capped ? Step forward Tosh McKinley etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only Tosh. A few over the years were suddenly deemed good enough when they signed for the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything worth lauding in the game up here. I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Turn Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 13 hours ago, shaun.lawson said: Excellent post. Spot on on all counts. Especially the bit I've emboldened. Small nations are hugely up against it as it is. It's quite literally mad that Scotland play all their home games in a complete dump where there's less atmosphere than on the moon. Imagine Hearts without Tynecastle. The narrowness of the stadium, fans right on top of the players and, when it all clicks, creating a cacophonous din is what gives us a chance. Scotland should be trying to do likewise. Visits to Eastern Europe are notoriously hostile. Most away games for South American national teams are horrendously difficult: whether it's Bolivia at crazy levels of altitude or Colombia in a place which is so humid, so steamy, opponents are practically a goal down even before kick-off. Yet Scotland throw away their home advantage thanks to the ridiculous approach of the blazers. Yep, just like Windsor Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, our council pitches are unplayable as they never get cut. And youth coaches. They had a similar number of coaches to Germany and more than England (total, not per head of population). This was around when they defeated England in the Euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookie Bear Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Hampden is not a great stadium but I don’t recall anyone complaining at the atmosphere when Scotland almost beat England, or even at our cup final in May. If you fill a ground with people and give them a reason to make a noise, they will do exactly that. If you only sell a third of the seats and play rubbish, then it’s dire - but no stadium on the planet sounds good in those circumstances.

FruitJuice Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Someone on radio Scotland quoted Preston saying that the game has become too middle class and that a lot of kids are getting priced out of playing the game. Do you think that has had an impact as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he got caught out quite a few times last night - but then again, who didn’t? He defends fine at Liverpool - maybe because he is playing beside 3 world class defenders...

You'd even get an atmosphere at Easter road for that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7628mm Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 12 hours ago, been here before said: Adult tickets from £27. If you want a decent seat (or given that its Hampden a better shite one in the middle of the North Stand) its 30. Add on a booking fee of £3 and a carriage charge of 2 then thats 35 quid to watch 2 football powerhouses lock horns in a winner takes all battle for glory. Please form an orderly queue gents. Saw this on Facebook earlier today, made me laugh a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've enjoyed many Scotland games from behind the goals at Hampden. I was against buying Hampden as the money could be better used elsewhere and it's lost some of its aura but the view was fine when we had a half-decent, reasonably competitive team on the pitch.
