People say politics and football should never mix and then in the next breath will happily cede a football match for....erm....political reasons. No chance, get them beaten and beaten soundly. Remember, this is the football team (not country, football team) who were openly discussing at the turn of the year how happy they were to draw us as they viewed us as a soft touch and a bye to the final. Get them beat, end of story. Can still 'get them beat' as you put it, and have sympathy and support for Ukraine as a country. Men, women & children are being slaughtered and you dismiss any feelings of solidarity as 'hand-wringing shite'. I desperately want Scotland to win tomorrow night but people like you almost make me think; you know what, getting beat by Ukraine is infinitely preferably on so many levels to getting knocked out at the final hurdle by fucking Wales ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Right enough of this nonsense about letting Ukraine win Let’s just get them pumped and worry about Wales If we need to be the bad guys tomorrow, then so be it. It’s been almost 25 years since we last qualified for a World Cup, we can’t afford to stand aside for anyone. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's not true, probably that I blanked most of it out. 9 hours ago, Hibee_Hibernian said: I might be wrong but I think it’s the version that still gets played at Hampden now No, it's the Donnie Munro original that gets played, we were led by the new fella. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't. Far from it. I dismiss feelings of solidarity solely on the basis of a game of football as hand-wringing shite. big difference. The poem in question and the sentiment behind it is pandering, simpering, condescending nonsense of the worst kind.

Popular Post Jacky1990 Posted May 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2022 Any Scottish person saying they want Ukraine to win tomorrow can fucking do one. They'll get dignified respect before and after the game and during their anthem. But from the second Flower of Scotland starts until the final whistle, I hope we pump them in every area of the pitch. 4-0. None of this pity party bullshit. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I quite liked what Graeme Souness had to say on this match. Really put things in perspective for me. -16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Some of the stuff in the media during the build up to this game has been ridiculous, whether it’s Clyde 1s now deleted video, Graeme Souness believing a Ukraine win helps stop Putin, or Bill Leckie’s weird columns in The S*n (not unusual). I can understand non-football fans possibly having a more objective view due to their disinterest, but people associated with (Scottish) football coming out with this ‘let them win’, ‘it doesn’t really matter’ tripe really is embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I just think it's a bit selfish given what the Ukrainian people are going through. There are bigger things than football and if they win it might give them the boost and morale they need to finally beat the Russian occupation. I for one will be singing their national anthem and I'll be wearing a half in half scarf. -9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fratelli Posted May 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Lot of this patronising pro Ukraine chat from other Scottish folk has this sort of vibe to it: Folk who aren’t into football, and evidently have zero clue about it chiming in with nonsensical opinions because it’s currently the hot topic of e-discourse. They’d normally spend their time moaning on the Glasgow/Edinburgh subreddits about sportsball fans and how they hate having to deal with crowds despite buying a flat next to a football stadium.
