If they are honest enough, what would be the truth.

never been to a Scotland game (apart from the game for the Ibrox disaster in the early 70's against an Old Firm select).

I have enough to contend with bein an Alloa supporter.

I don't go either.

Quite happy going to the pub to watch them.

Okay i get the point, crap thread

I don't go!
Just watch them with family!

... FWIW I go to every home game, and as many away games as I can afford. Cannae wait for Macedonia!

Same here.

Admittedly i've only been to a few game's, but it's so hard to get a ticket. here's a quick quessy, who think's Hampden should be knocked down and replaced with a state of the art stadium like Wembley and the Millenium Stadium? Why shouldn't we have one like that, i no we have Murrayfield but leave that for the rugby. Hampden is a disgrace tbh.

Don't bother with the national team. Not really interested.

Go to every Scotland game at home but for the away ones i cannae go as im only 16 and my maw and da wouldnt let me fly to another country on my own , also i get the feeling that most Scotland fans are from the north east , anyone else think so.

The biggest myth there is. A home friendly at Pittodire got an attendence of less than 14,000 in a time when we were doing very well. The majority of Scotland fans are from the central belt because that's where the majority of the population live.

Why the f**k does it matter?

Used to go semi regularly to the home games, but haven't been in about 10 years. My interest in the National team has waned somewhat over the years, and I just can't muster anything like the same enthusiasm for it as I do for my club side.

Just can't seem to get any sort of enthusiasm for Scotland. As I've said before, I'd much rather Rovers won the league this year than Scotland won the World Cup in 2010.

I feel the same about East Fife, in fact i'd rather we won the challenge cup than Scotland won the world cup, not really interested in them at all, I obviously want them to win if i'm watching it on telly but thats as far as it goes.

I thought this thread was about Old Firm fans at first.....I go to all the Scotland home games and try to get to at least one away qualifier each campaign. Is this thread going anywhere?

I've only been to 7/8 games but haven't been since Berti Vogts.
I wan't to start going again (a bit more regularly) but money may be an issue.

But where would Queens play? Lesser just isn't good enough for us Where are you Watty??

Waning interest for me. This qualification has made it worse, ok i was happy to see the wins against France but it pissed me off that so many people were walking about singing "we'll be coming" (etc) when they hadn't given a f**k during Vogts's reign. That is to be expected in football though.As has been said, would rather see Raith win the league than Scotland win the world cup.

Don't go to the games. I spend most of my disposable income on league games, gambling and planning my next trip out of Britain. None of the above can be sacrificed for a team I only have a passing interest in.

I find these statements astonishing. I am not sure if you are being serious or want a pat on the back or are just trying to be super loyal to your clubs. Either way what you are saying is a disgrace.

All Scottish SFL and SPL players are playing because they love the game. Each one of them would do anything to get in that elusive 22 man squad national squad. If you come on here and say that you are not interested / bothered about the Scotland national team then I suggest you give up football alltogether and take up golf.

The pinnacle of a players career is earning a cap and representing his nation whether that England, Scotland or Holland Antilles.

The way i see it is that all 42 Scottish league teams are all part of a bigger picture - which is the Scottish Football Association.

I love travelling abroad watching Scotland and am proud to be a Scottish citizen. Scotland would always take priority for me and that does not make me a lesser Ross County fan.

I've been to 1 Scotland game in my life, it was against Belarus and we lost 1-0

f**k off!!!

Becuase i don't have an undying love of the Scottish National team, you think you have the right to ell me that i shouldn't even go and see the Rovers. What a lot of bollocks!!

Yes pretty much. You love the fact that you are one of few who support Raith Rovers and feel this makes you a 'true' football fan. You feel like the big man by shunning the national team because again you are in the minority.

You would be one of those sad acts in the pub with your 2004 Rovers shirt on for the 5th consecutive day cheering on Italy as they knock us out the Euros.

Yeah, real football fan you are.

Yeah, that's exactly who i am Get a fucking grip. You like the national team, i don't particularly, get of you're fucking high horse!

Can't say i agree with that. Raith offer me more than Scotland do...as a Raith fan i can go every single week providing financial costs aren't a burden. I see the same people in the same seats and feel involved with the club. With Scotland, it is a case of sit in a pub watching the game on the Tv because i can't get tickets for the game. To me, the experience of football is about being on the terraces or watching the game live. I don't find the same enjoyment in watching games on the TV. It is a bit silly to say that i shouldn't be involved in football because i don't support the national team. Lets face it, no Raith player is going to be capped by Scotland any time in the near future.

Your getting a bit tetchy there. Have I hit a sore point? Or do you not like hearing the truth?

No, i just find it a bit amusing, and a bit sad that you feel the need to come on here and mock other people for not believing in the same things as you do.

Would you do the same with religion?

Well to me it reminds me of the playground. Just because your team does not currently have players selected in the national team you dont care if they win or not?

If Raith have a change of fortune and get a few players in the set-up and you win the lottery and can afford to go to the matches you would then all of a sudden be a Scotland fan?

Well whats all that crap about rather Raith won the 2nd div than Scotland winning the World Cup?

Much agree with that.


Anyone who is Scottish and football orientated but has no interest in the National team need a reality check and are an embarrassment to the country or are fekin unionists

Sorry, i just don't get this train of thought at all. Becuase i don't vigorously support the national team, i'm a nationalist, a disgrace to Scotland and need a reality check!?

Deary me!

Hardly mocking. I genuinley find it astonisging how a Scottish lad who likes / plays football would rather their team win the irrelavant Division 2 title than their national team win the World Cup.

Not a question of wanting you to believe the same thing as me but just stating a fact. It reminds me of the time my mate said I wouldnt be seen dead in a Ferrari, I would rather have a Corsa thanks very much. Yeah right.

Aye, ok then son.

There is a difference about vigourously supporting the national team and what you are saying.

Surely it's up to me, though? And surely no-one else has the right to tell me what to think?

Although i love my club with a passion, i totally enjoy the build up of watching the National team. It's a fantastic distraction for a week, imo Scotland have improved massively and i think our Country deserves an improved stadium. No offence to Queens fan's, but you'll need to ground share. If the Welsh can have the Millenium stadium, we should have New Hampden. The SFA will have none of it though

You might find it astonishing, but some of us think otherwise. East Fife have been a huge part of my life since I was at the primary. The national team doesn't even come close, I accept that for many people its the opposite, and thats fair enough, i'm not going to start foaming at the mouth if an East Fife supporter chooses Scotland before us.

Of course it is up to you. Perhaps you are not very good at putting your opinions across on an open forum but what you are saying does not make sense.

I can not think of any logical reason why you would rather Raith Won Div 2 than Scotland won the world cup.

Let me ask you this. Would you have rathered Scotland beat Italy last Nov to reach the Euros or would you have rathered Raith beat peterhead last game of last season?

Exactly. That seems to be the problem. If someone supports Scotland over the Rovers, i don't care. It seems that when the roles are reversed, we're getting hammered for it.

I'd rather Scotland qualified for the World Cup or the European Championships than Stenny winning the league

Not only have I never been to a competitve Scotland game, I don't watch football on TV either.

Why would I wish to watch the SPL mob who do nothing for the game outside their shell, and would certainly never have Sky, which has kept the game boyant south of the border for ages now. They even show live games in the conference, so why give Sky your cash to allow them down south to buy who they want and wwhen they want?

When was the last time anything was shown on TV outwith the SPL, barring cup matches? Sad really when both STV and BBC Jockland both show SPL highlights.

Now I am sure that if a Raith or an Allo player (I know this is stretching the imagination a rad) were to be selected to represent Scotland, we would go along to cheer both the player and the team on.

I've almost seen it all with the Rovers, so would like Scotland to have a modicum of success.

What I am trying to establish is if people like you are genuine. I get the distinct impression that most people who claim to care not a jot about the national team are in fact just trying to be some kind of super fan.

Me aswell!
Cant wait for Iceland!

I've never been to a Scotland game, and I'm never that bothered if they're on the telly. Obviously in a game between Scotland and any other country, there's only one team I will want to win, but my support for Scotland is nothing like my support for the Rovers.

Haitch, hypothetically, if Scotland were to play Ross County, and you could only pick one team to support, which side would it be?

Because Raith Rovers means more to me than the national team, i have been brought up that way, and i stand by it.

Yes, i would have rather Scotland had won, but when they didn't i wasn't fussed.

No offence Dunc but that is a very rhetorical question.

With Scotish football fans like you no wonder the national team have not qualified for any major tournaments for so long

Exactly

Fek theres an eejit on here the russian i think would rather see his team win the challenge Cup than see Scotland win the WC

So Scotland's lack of success is now my fault, too? Aswell as me being a nationalist?
