The Doctor Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Heart of Midlothian. The last Scotland game I was at, I found it impossible to get behind guys like Ferguson, I can't go from hating him to supporting him. I'm parochial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(9.9% will pick Hearts first (and rightly so), but do we have to choose one or the other? Is it okay to like Hearts a lot and Scotland a bit? Of course it is. The point of this wasn't to say u have to pick one or the other but just what preference you had if you were forced to choose a big Hearts win or a big Scotland win. I was surprised at how many supporters (Hearts, Hibs, Rangers, Celtic) picked Scotland. Country first over club makes no sense to me. In my opinion I am more proud of being a Jambo than I am of being Scottish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paws (FTH) Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hearts first and foremost, but I support Scotland too. Though I would happily sacrifice Scotland never qualifying for a major tournament ever again in exchange for Hearts winning the CL (or even the SPL!) in my lifetime.

spacerjoe Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 A true fan.......................... In all honesty, I don't think I actually have a preference. Its two entirely different things for me and I don't see why it has to be a choice at all. Although last season, after stupidly (drunkenly) deciding it would be feasible to have season tickets for both Fulham and Hearts, seeing Scotland pull off a couple of results was the only thing I had to cheer me up, football wise. At one stage I had a season ticket for two teams who were both second bottom of their respective leagues. (You'll be glad to know I had to relinquish my Hearts ticket this year though, due to work commitments. 100% home record so far...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dipped Flake Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 No disrespect to the OP but we have had hundreds of these posts on here, always during the international break. I suppose most 'died in the wool' Jambos that go to the trouble of registering on here are going to say Hearts first. Myself, Scotland will always come first for me but that is more to do with Scotland the nation rather than the football team. In purely football terms, I can't really seperate them. However, if it was a choice between Scotland winning the World Cup and Hearts winning the Champions League it would have to be Scotland. It makes no difference really though as neither is ever going to happen and, if I wanted to dream about one of them happening I would just dream about them both in the same year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise that these come up alot but I have never properly read them before and was genuinely interested in what the general opinion was. I just assumed that most people would pick their club side as this is the team they watch and support on a weekly basis.

jack D and coke Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 How can anyone say they'd rather Hearts won a league that nobody outside our borders gives a monkeys chunky's about against our national team becoming legends all over the world? I would love Hearts to win the league and i want both to succeed but the national team gains us more respect and any player who pulls on the blue jersey gets my support regardless of what club he turns out for. If you cant separate club and country then you need to grow up imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand and respect what you are saying mate but personally I would much prefer to slag off all the fans of other Scottish teams who I know than gain the respect of some faceless foreigner I have never met. The look on one Hibee's face as we lift that trophy would be worth more than the whole population of Brazil or Angola gaining respect for Scottish football.

Normally on here the majority say Hearts, and you get the same thing on the hibs message board too. As I said, the guys on here are the ones who, in the main, live and breath Hearts. I fully respect anyone who says Hearts over Scotland but just can't understand the ones who don't care a toss about their country at all. Of course they are entitled to their opinion however much I disagree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the fairest time to ask the question, straight after a bad Scotland result and with Hearts going alright.
