Unless your talking about superman . Now he was fast. All I meant was Robbo was incredible in his younger days and after early 90’s he was never good enough to be considered again. In his early days he was superb and should’ve had loads more caps. I’m not downing Robbo man. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3fingersreid Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hearts . I would never want Scotland to lose but I lost interest in the national team around the roxburgh/brown era . As a nation we were blessed with some real quality players back then , but the team set up was go out not to lose rather than try to win , it got worse when brown took sole charge . Its good to see both my daughters getting exited to see the national team in a tournament for the first time though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King prawn Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Club without a doubt for me. I was born in England but I’ve been going to Hearts games since I was a child. International games have always been conflicting for me as I don’t care about England but I don’t feel Scottish enough to be incredibly passionate despite my Dad being Scottish and mum’s family being Scottish too.

Nelly Terraces Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Love the World Cup & Euros but genuinely ambivalent as to the Scottish national side, really not fussed if they win or lose & in fact despite not being a guy who ever gambles I'm putting 10 quid (hey big spender!) on them losing their 3 matches as I really do think they're not that great. It's all about Hearts for me, always has been & forever will be. *Please note my limited record with betting is so poor that you can bet (pardon the pun! ) they'll probably get 3 wins!

Toxteth O'Grady Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 No interest in the Scotland Football team whatsoever. I don't watch English Football so don't recognise most of the players. I went to a couple of Scotland games at Hampden a few years ago but just couldn't get into it. Scotland at Rugby or Scottish Athletes is another matter.

Maroon Sailor Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 15 hours ago, jack D and coke said: I’m not dissing Robbo in the slightest, I never would he was one of my heroes bud I love him. I’m not looking for an argument either😘 He could play alright but he was deadly in front of goal and lost some mobility as he got a bit older. Anywhere else would’ve been an utter waste. Robbo was a penalty box striker - he'd admit that himself. That's where he did his best work. It's a positive way to look at him - we've missed somebody like him. He was a prolific goalscorer in a Hearts shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts1975 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Both. You can’t help choose your Nationality. Proud to support the Scotland team and proud to be a Jambo.

England a while back. Not something I thought I would ever do. I think at the moment, for me, it's probably the easiest time to back anybody in a Scotland shirt. I rate about a third of the squad, a third I have no strong feelings of negativity against and the final third I don't know from Adam.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Both. But that's all because Scotland are actually doing something again. It was grim for so long.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 For the first time in 23 years we can dream again… tournament football for Scotland. The buzz if we can get the win against the Czechs and go down to Wembley, the buzz for that game, on a Friday night 8pm, that goes far beyond anything you could see in Scottish club football. Club colours are left at home for 1 night in all our football lives. As for club football, it’s limited through the fact that money dominates it. There’s a purity to the international game that has long since died in club football where titles are just bought and sold by oligarchs and the wealthiest rich clubs. You can’t buy an international team, that team is the best your country has produced, so the pride is genuine. If Scotland could pull off a miracle and somehow get out this group, into a knockout game, the attitude of the “I’m not that interested in Scotland” folks would be swept away in a wave of excitement.

CloustonHMFC Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 It shouldn't have to be a choice between the two. The love I have for Hearts and the love I have for Scotland is different and both affect me in different ways but I wouldn't say one is stronger than the other. Hearts are everything. Scotland is everything. Push come to shove then I'd rather never attend another Scotland than never attend another Hearts game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Striker Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 This is quite a thought-provoking question. The rank question of "support" made me think just which aspects of Scottish sport matter to me. Also - are you "supporting" a sport or team, by just watching them on TV ? Or do you have to commit money and travel to games to be able to call yourself a supporter ? Anyway, marks out of 10 from me - Hearts = 10 out of 10. Every aspect of them. Always. No question. Scotland (mens !) football team = 3 Wouldn't give the SFA a penny, so not a supporter as such. Want to see them do well, but not that bothered. None of the players mean anything to me apart from CG. Scottish individual athletes = 3 Love to see them do well on a UK /Euro/world stage. Brings a lump to the throat that our country seems to punch above its population weight - Eilidh Doyle, Andy Murray, Laura Muir, Michael Jamieson, Josh Taylor etc. All other Scotland sports teams = 0 (including Scotland womens football, Scotland rugby, basketball, volleyball, hockey ... the lot !).
