Guest Dipped Flake Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Because the Tartan Army are the most pathetic fans on the planet What I find pathetic is fans on a Scottish teams messageboard who seem to hate every single thing about Scotland. As for the Tartan Army, it really is pathetic to actually support your country by spending your money, singing your hearts out for the full 90 minutes, I mean how pathetic can you get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thig Ar Latha Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Because the Tartan Army are the most pathetic fans on the planet This is one of the best examples of the 'Pot calling the kettle Black' that I've seen for a while. IIRC, you felt the need to start a thread on the 'Terrace' last season to apologise for your behaviour at Pittoddrie last season and seek the forgiveness of those around you who may have wittnessed your antics. IMO, having been home and away with both Hearts and Scotland, the vast majority of supporters I've seen (both Hearts and Scotland) are very well behaved with only a few individuals going over the score. If anything, the Scotland Fans are the better behaved. As with what most people on here seem to say, the only consistantly badly behaved supporters are both the ugly sisters.

Tynie b Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I don't support Scotland,TBH, it's because of the OF bias when I was younger, Still now if I'm honest...What made it worse was a Scotland fan in my local blaming ME, because Miko dived, told him to go **** himself me and the mates left before things got out of hand!! Nearly greetin he was, Ferkin Trumpet!! Think I watched the game, asked why he wasn't so upset about O'Connor diving in the box trying to get a penalty..."Ach, knew you'd have some excuse for the wee Bassa's actions!!"

I think you maybe refering to the section of the 'Huns' support who act like Nazi's and support England before Scotland and do anything to deny that anything good comes out of Scotland. They are the true 'Scottish Cringe' Its a pity that some in our support agree with them, and one or two even try to act like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Hearts fans criticise the Tartan Army is beyond me! A trip with the Tartan Army is just as good as a trip abroad with the Hearts. It is even better when there are Hearts players involved! One trip is to support your club. One trip is to follow your country. Both sets of fans have a small minority that cause problems. The OF have a MAJORITY that sing bile and cause problems that shame Scotland. One other benefit of following Scotland is that you hardly ever meet any Celtic or Rangers fans.

Francis Albert Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 He'd have been a hero in Scotland if he'd done that dive and got a penalty against England, ironically. As of course was Joe Jordan for cheating to deny Wales a place in the World Cup Finals. And of course both Maradona's and Jordan's cheating actually mattered whereas Miko's dive had and was always likely to have no consequence whatsover.

tolcross lad Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Played Golf today with a good mate who is English.He remains bitter about the incident like Butcher.Because of rivalry Scots fans chose to see Maradonas goal as wonderfully opportunistic. When Joe Jordan did the business we saw it as just that.One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.One mans cheat is another mans football hero or not, as Miko proved.

bigandy Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Dont really see the point of this thread tbh. ALL football fans are hypocrites when it comes to incidents involving players of their team as opposed to plaayers of other teams. If a player from your team dives theres usually an excuse to be made - if an opponent does it hes a diving cheat. If your team scores an offside goal its 'borderline' if the opposition score its 'cheating linesman ' and a conspiracy. A bad tackle from your player is 'mistimed' an opponent is an animal. It's like Rangers fasns moaning about the Durrant tackle - what about Souness or Hurlock or Roberts etc. Fans will always castigate opponents and turn a blind eye to their own players.

You would think a week after rememberance day they would. I remember the Trinidad tops and Paraguay tops during the World Cup. No doubt there'll be some Germany tops worn this week too. Pathetic. The Argentina ones really **** me off though. Like you say after the Falklands war it is a ****ing disgrace. But hey its not hatred its supposedly just 'banter'. Do these same people buy tops of clubs that their rival team are playing against too? Sadly for me both teams can't lose tonight.

Jambo, Goodbye Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I find it cringeworthy we regard him a hero for what he did against England.

4marsbars Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Maradona became a legend in Scotland in 1979. Those who saw him (think the crowd was over 70,000) knew they'd seen something quite remarkable. And DM was still only 18. By the middle of the second half the crowd were chanting Ar-gen-ti-na, and at one point they cheered every Argentine touch and boo-ed when Scotland were on the ball. I cannot imagine the equivalent ever happening at Wembley. I don't doubt that the hand-of-god thing may have enhanced Maradona's profile in Scotland but, even if that had never happened, he would have got a good welcome today. I don't know if he was better than Pele, but by a long way the best player I've seen, and that includes Cruyff, Best and Donald Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
