Celtic Fans and Scotland
fl...@my-deja.com
fanatical Scotland supporter. I'm a fully paid up member of the Tartan
Army and travel to as many away games as I can afford.
It is an observation of mine that there are not too many Celtic
supporters who support the National Team, and, similarly, there are not
too many supporters of the Scottish National Team who are also Celtic
supporters.
Any suggestions as to why this might be - apart from the usual
Scotland/Protestant/Masonic conspirancy mantra?

That's bollocks!!
Almost ALL of us support Scotland in one way or another! We may also like
other National teams, but primarily it's Scotland first for almost ALL of
us!!
And what a great result tonight, after all WE should have been there in the
first place after our play-off games!! The English were crap, and we were
pretty good in qualifying.

I can say though that a lot of Scotland supporters I have met are not from
either side of the old firm. Maybe being a fanatic most of the year takes
too much out of us ;-)

I have no idea where you're coming from pal but as a Celtic/Scotland
diehard I must assume you live on a different planet. There are scores,
if not hundreds of Celtic fans who, like myself, are in the Scotland
Travel Club. I, in my travels to three World Cups and many other away
games, have spent many happy times with fellow Tims at Scotland games.
My own CSC (Brother Walfrid CSC, Edinburgh) had almost half our
membership in Prague last year supporting Scotland. Surely you must be
talking about Huns: an endangered species in the Tartan Army.

Apart from not being able to beat a crap England side over 2 legs. Oh and
being beaten twice by the Czechs who went out before England did. Yeah,
Scotland would have hammered Romania!

Don't know the reason but the majority of the scotland support is composed

How did you manage to become an ex-Celtic fan?Do you mean you can't make it

Willie, that's a helluva surname. Have you never thought of changing
it? You said "That's Bollocks". By that I assume that you disagree with
my inference. Nevertheless my perception is real.

I suppose that being fanatical about two organisations does take it out
of one. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.
Ronnie the Tim
Thanks for calling me "pal". After such a short acquaintance, too. You
don't know where I'm coming from. I simply stated my observation after
20 years of following Scotland home and abroad.
Nick
You seem to think that since I'm an ex-Celtic fan I never was a Celtic
fan. I don't agree with your hypothesis. The explanation is that my
current life-style and geography don't allow me to attend matches and
support the team. That's why I said "I'm still a Celtic sympathiser" ie
I don't actually support the team by either paying entrance money or
shouting them on, but , by God, I'm still right behind them.
Tony

Your contribution was just on the acceptable side of relevant. Please

Most Scotland supporters are Rangers supporters? Not in my experience.
Older friends of mine can remember when that was the case and Celtic
players in Scotland shirts were booed at Hampden. This is not my
experience. I seldom come across Rangers supporters travelling abroad
to support our country. (Probably too ashamed of the Union Flag, Rule
Britannia and God Save the Queen - oops, sorry. I'll put my nails away
now)
I'm sorry if I've upset anyone. It wasn't my intention.

And if we all stopped going you wouldn't be on here calling us the worst
fans in the world now would you? Of course, being a Hun you wouldn't know
about following your team faithfully through anf through.

Tony
> >all coming back season after season and you all fall for it!!!
So the greatest fans in the world would turn their back on the team,and only
support them when they are winning?They would accept watching attendances
tumble to,let's say the 3 or 4,000 mark(although if you count up the people
who said they were there,the crowd was 80,000),until the club they support
part-time,just as a hobby,as long as they are winning,decide to do
something,to entice their 'customers' back?Are you a Rangers
customer,Greigy?Or are you one of the real 5,000 fans?

is a celtic supporter :-) If thats the case then questions must be asked
about your national team loyalty then Greigy. Scotland or England?
As your obviously a supporter of the darkside then you probably follow
England. Flying the same flags, sing the same songs, and when it comes to
taking on the germans at penalties.... ;-)

The most frustrating thing about Scotland's Euro 2000 campaign was we didn't
even NEED to beat the Czechs. We could have lost 10-0 home and away against
the Czech Republic and as long as we had managed to get the results against
the other teams in our group (and lets face it there weren't any) we would
have qualified as best runners-up without needing to win a play-off
Meanwhile Craig Brown tells us all how great he is for masterminding a
victory against the Germans in a friendly, then a few a short months later
tells us they are the worst German team for years.....as if anyone didn't
know that after the England - Germany game.
Oh and wee Craigie also said the Czech Rep. and England (both on their way
home after the 1st round) were two of the best teams in the tournament
before it started ....couldn't have anything to do with the fact it was them
(along with the likes of fucking Latvia and Estonia) who knocked us out,
could it ?
I wonder if any of the newspapers will ever pull him up for all this crap he
talks ....or just let him away with it as usual.

That could be Holland, or Germany, or Norn Iron, in that case. Let's face

You really are bending over backwards to try to make a point here aren't

First - we are all stupid for going as we are being conned.
Second - we are all terrible for not going!

they're so bad. No other reason. I'm also not sure if that many Rangers fans
support Scotland. It seems to me that most of the support is made up of
Partick Thistle, St Mirren fans etc. I suppose after watching teams like
that Scotland must be exciting. ;-)

53,000 I think.

At least tree-quarters kept going even when the league was over, and almost
48,000 were at the last game. How many would be at Ibrox if they were 20
points behind Celtic? Come to think of it, didn't the crowd at Ibrox dip
below 40,000 on a few occasions this season? Mmm?

If you are using an asterisk you have to have corresponding ones above
otherwise it doesn't make any sense. Mind you, it is a Greigy post...
So what you are saying - please correct me if I am wrong because I would
love to knopw what is going on in your twisted little head - is that those
who go are being conned and those who don't are terrible fans? Doesn't
really make much sense does it?

This is where you blew it, pal. If you want to get your nails out fair
enough
but don't complain about others (whatever their perspective) for doing
likewise.
BTW: I attend scotland matches (never travel abroad) and I believe the
majority of the support are rangers supporters. My anecdotal evidence is
as good as anyone else's.

Suprisingly the wee slimey,two-faced,money grabbing fuck wanted Celtic to

Rangers were given (i think) 17,000 tickets.
Well, f*ck me, if you don't think 42 out of 17,000 is not a minority

There you go again you daft twat.
You simple do not understand arithmetic and ratios.
I am sure that there are a number if supporters of rangers who have
unfortunately been born without fully functional digits.
Two points:
1) they are a minority.
2) why are you against those people with disabilities?

WHAT WAS THE RATIO OF ENGLAND TO SCOTLAND FLAGS IN THE HUN END AT THE CUP
FINAL 42:0...CORRECT??? NOW TALE THIS AS A CROSS SECTION OF THE HUN
ATTENDANCE. OK, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU (AS A PERCENTAGE) HOW MANY RANGERS
FANS FEEL AFFILIATION WITH OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBOURS. I THINK YOU WILL FIND
THAT IT IS 100%...Go I hate shouting...but sometimes it's the only way to
get the message across to some people.

I deduce that you meant to use an "it" in your first sentence! ;-)
So it's the GFIT part you don't get?? So how'd you get the OF part?
Were you also able to deduce what the W in GFITW meant??
Foolishly I made the assumption that since the term GFITW had already
been used in the thread - and you had not asked for an explanation -
you knew what it meant. How silly of me!
The Greatest Fans In The World tag is widely used (mostly by huns 'n
hacks) and been explained several times before on this NG. I've
never proclaimed Celtic fans to be TGITW myself or even heard more
than a handful of tims use it.
As for my powers of deduction...well let's see. I deduce that since
you make statements (off the top of my head - I'm sure there's more)
akin to "pulling on shirts isn't a foul" and "most Scottish fans are
Rangers supporters", you know very little about football at all.

I'd agree with that. I also noticed during that Panorama program about the
English hooligans that their support seemed to be a lot more club oriented -
you'll notice that all their banners at matches have their teams on them.
That's something I don't think you get with the Scotland support.

for
it.
With regards to neanderthals, it is universally accepted that they died out
long ago - you'r still spouting pish!
On a more serious point. It would be fool-hardy to suggest that there is no
hooligan element in most british team's support. However, to suggest that
these people from rangers/celtic/another are in anyway a majority tells me
more about YOU than them. YOU REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND
THE WORD MAJORITY DO YOU?

No.
It is correct that many people can have a flag but so can just one person.
This places bounds one the numbers of those with affiliations to england.
Would suggest that 100 people per flag is way too high perhaps 10
would be a reasonable figure.
Nonetheless, let's play your bizzarre little game and assume 100 people
per flag. That gives us 4200 with an english affiliation.
Since you are obviously as thick as your girlfriends wool, I will spell this
out real easy.
Rangers got 17,000 tickets.
50% of 17,000 = 8,500.
If the number with an english affiliation is greater than 8,500 then they
are the M-A-J-O-R-I-T-Y.
Bah, bah, bah,

I didn't know the acronym.
Regarding the tugging shirts. I am no expert in refereeing but I have a
friend who is a qualified ref.
He has told me that there is no rule against shirt pulling, per se.
There is a rule on obstruction, therefore if you pull someone's shirt but
don't
impeed/obstruct them then it is not a foul.
This may explain why many refs ignore short pulling.
As I have said this is second hand knowledge.

Agreed. Anyone who had to rely on primarily first hand knowledge would
have a very narrow outlook on life, like yourself.
Anyone who studies/reads etc. is learning from others. I see that as a
strength
not a weakness.
Mind you it is easy for me to think that since I come from a large
cosmopolitan
city with universities and art galleries. Great sources of learning.
