Aye, I thought the point of that thread was that McClean's the good guy and he causes cranial detachment in roasters.

Oh, I see now, not just a personal choice but gnawing at the fetid scabs of @Rio 2and the like.

This is all so strange to me but

I can't be the only one being whooshed here.

The Israel anthem was booed last year as well. Happened on quite a few games recently which is disappointing.

I wasn’t aware of McLean being booed than any other player. When you’re playing a game like this there’s always going to be a bit of needle and I’d like to think it was primarily driven by football rivalry and not anything more, like some people are alluding to. I’m not saying that there wasn’t a good few idiots who crossed the line btw. Their fans gave a few of our higher profile players a hard time over at the Aviva, similar story here imo.

Rightly so.

You have the choice to like or dislike someone or something, as has been displayed on many of the threads on these and other forums, so being called a scab for disliking James McLean is rather confusing! 

Also I don't have a great deal of affection for Ryan Porteous, due to his attitude on and off the park, and think that he is a liability and should not be in the Scotland squad, but I wouldn't be standing in a football ground booing either of them.

I think it's simple, it shows just how ingrained this bigoted bile and sectarianism is embedded in to Scottish culture. It's what Scotland is all about.

Fixed that

Nah, the sectarian shite is not evenly distributed round the country.

It simply isn't.

But it’s still a Scottish problem right?
 

Because it happens in other parts of Scotland

When was the last time you were in South Ayrshire?

Why do you wish to suggest it's a problem to a similar extent, wherever you are in Scotland?

 

It's not.

You have anti catholic organisations throughout Scotland 

But look, see if you’re not willing to accept it’s a Scottish problem then there really isn’t much point having this discussion 

If you want to stick your head in the sand, and play the idiot. Then go for it

You're being very silly.

Of course the issue is much more prevalent in some parts of Scotland than others.

It's absolute idiocy to imply otherwise. 

 

 

Obviously, you already know that this is the case, but wish, for unclear reasons, to pretend you don't.

Cool

So we agree, it’s a Scottish problem 

Glad that’s been cleared up.

Ok, you're determined to be an arse here.

It seems a shame, but I can't control that and it's entirely up to you, so I'll bid you a very good night.

I listened to a few bits and pieces that seemed to suggest that part of the pre-match thinking going into this game was to let Ireland expend a lot of energy in the first half and then push the game more in the 2nd half which I found interesting and is an interpretation that sits well with the general idea that it was a game of two halves.

It was a case of getting through those early stages, making them run, making them tired and hope to take advantage of that later in the game and that’s what we tried to do.

I go to most home games and I didn't hear any sectarian stuff at all. I did hear some booing of the Irish anthem which was a bit disappointing but Hampden is a bit more hostile these days finally which I'll not complain about. 

I was in beside some Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts lads and they were noisy and fun. 6% import beer has much to answer for. Was a good night.

Would you like a nice bit of haddock for your other shoulder?

My second favourite international team is lying 3rd in its group ,  my least favourite is bottom of the group 

but most importantly, my favourite  is riding high in first place with a good chance of promotion.  

A wee bit of cheer in these gloomy times.
