AMMjag Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If there's a group of people dedicated to creating a bit of atmosphere at games without causing any bother, then good luck to them. I'd hate for a Scotland qualifier to have the library atmosphere of your average Celtic home game. Hamish Husband and anyone who refers to themselves as a 'footsoldier' can f**k right off though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've met quite a few Scotland fans who don't have a club team at all. I find that quite strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Why do people think they're wanks. Also I'm a Scotland fan but the tag Tartan Army isn't like some sort of exclusive club, surely everybody that supports Scotland to some extent (so 95 percent of Scottish football fans) realises this yeah? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPSAFalkirkFirm Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 It's just the doe-a-deer thing for me. What's that all about? Usually starts about 15 minutes in as the beer is wearing off and the realisation kicks in that the fitba's still shite. Back in the 70s that was about the same time Rangers fans started fighting each other so things are better but surely there's something more relevant to Scotland can be found rather than a nun singing to weans up a Tyrolean mountain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course its not relevant - that's the point. A weird tradition that just works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Cringey, attention-seekers IMO. There's an air of desperation about them. "look at me, look at me" and "love us, love us" - traits usually associated with Celtic fans abroad which can be equally applied to the 'Tartan Army'. That said, it didn't stop me enjoying Dortmund last month and it won't stop me enjoying Warsaw next week and for their numerous flaws, they at least know how to behave unlike Old Firm fans on their travels. Their biggest crime is being a bit embarrassing. Hamish Husband can f**k right off though. Edited October 9, 2014 by Hammer Jag 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Jag Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Celtic fans have a perverse need to be loved wherever they go and they crave attention. The Tartan Army are exactly the same. What's hard to understand about that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoRaj Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Last time I went to an away game it was just loads of groups of Scotland fans drinking and enjoying themselves. I don't remember seeing a specific tartan army that were wanks. Most people had kilts on which can be construed as wanky in itself but I'm not really sure you can view such a wide and varied group of people as a collective 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 After the 3-1 Prague game a few years ago we left the stadium and there was huge guard of honour where loads of Czech kids lined up and were high fiving us and shaking our hands. It was a very proud feeling. Also this happened at Hampden a few years ago after the Holland game, Other countries seem to love us.It must be the Scottish gene kicking in when we have to talk ourselves and each other down. We can't have anything good and ever enjoy it. I think i'll name that the 55% gene . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
