Title: Are we supporting Scotland tonight?
Post by: DonnyAps on June 14, 2024, 01:41:47 pm
This is a hard one to answer.
Scotland to win or Germany to win?
Two big rivals of England.

But seeing as Donny is still officially part of Scotland, I’m going Scotland.

The pictures of the Scottish fans in Munich are great and no one is expecting any bother- do they put aside the Celtic Rangers rivalry when supporting Scotland?

Saw a quote on Twitter earlier from a reporter who said after speaking to Scottish fans they’re putting all club rivalry aside for the next few weeks.


Hope they enjoy themselves. May not come around again for a while.

I hope Scotland win, Germany have got to be one of our challengers to win it, if the bookies are to be believed. Having said that, after watching us v Iceland it made me lose all interest in the Euros, don’t know if I’ll even watch it tonight. I’ve been more interested in following Grant’s rebuild of the mighty reds!

After deliberation, it’ll be the first time in 60 years I would like Germany to win.
Met quite a few Germans over in Spain recently and they are by far more pleasant (they even laugh at their lack of sense of humour) than any Scottish people I’ve met. ( I exclude Billy Bremner and Colin Douglas from this German bias)

In 1975 we battered them a Wembley. Along with a few more from Thorne I was at the back of the goal with the Tartan Army no bother at all with us in fact very friendly. I hope they win they’re an example to a few England fans.

  According to reports this afternoon there are 200,000 Scots in Munich for the game tonight.
  That is 4% of Scotland's  population, you have got to hand it to them there is no half way house with them.

Yes will always support all the other British and Irish teams except against England.
Why wouldn’t we. Why on earth would we want Germany or any other country to win.
Yes I am English and very proud to be English but I am also British and very proud to be British.
Rep of Ireland is full of British players as many of their players have a distant relative that was Irish  :facepalm:   :)

Nope,I grew up supporting  England,and if we was out of a tournament and any of the home nations was still in I hoped they did well,but as time went on I became aware off their hatred for us and being deliriously happy when we fail,so I now return the favour and laugh when they fail.

Reminded me of one of those very first pre season friendlies we all play just to give the lads a game in the legs .

Rossington v Doncaster Rovers
Barnsley v Athersley Rec
Parkgate v Rotherham United

The difference in class was embarrassing but saying that there's ways and means in making life difficult for a superior technical team and Scotland didn't even do that .

Great support mind .

They do, but a lot of Scotland fans don't support the big two, lots from other clubs.  Celtic fans certainly aren't bothered on the whole.

Scotland never had a chance really they just don't have the attack to trouble teams but the manager has done a brilliant job.

Always found it tricky as a kid, grew up in both England and Scotland one English one Scottish parent.  Hope Scotland do well (except against England).

Completely bizarre the dislike for Scotland on here.

I was 100% behind them last night, but it wasn't to be and was a tough watch.

Yes they want England to lose. But that's just friendly banter and rivalry.

They are britons, British and part of the UK. I've got a much closer affinity to Scotland than any European country, especially the krauts.

Not to mention our city's historic (and still running) connection to Scotland.

Mon the Scots!

Gunn should have saved the first and the fifth very slow on his feet. The tackle by Porteus was awful should have tackled better stayed on his feet and he would have stopped the shot hence no penalty and sending off. Germany were far superior but Scotland allowed them to do that they were no where near a premier league side. Even Robertson Tierney McTominay and McGinn were no where near their best.
Learning curve for them and Us you have to be at your best in work rate and skill if you want to win and progress.

I don’t think it’s bizarre at all, they despise us, there’s nothing jovial about it and it’s not banter they actively support whoever we play, glad they got bummed, hope it happens two more times and then they don’t qualify again in my lifetime, skirt wearing weirdos

Scotland the not so Brave.

Yes they were up against superior opponents but what that abject 1st half performance was wholly lacking in was courage.

No tactical courage to attempt to pose even a modicum of attacking threat, and no courage in possession of the football.

A pathetic performance.

Haven't been lucky enough to attend an Old Firm unfortunately, but been to Ibrox a fair few times, including the 3-2 win over Braga a few years back. Been to a few Scottish Cup games at Hampden as well. An ex partner of mine was a Celtic fan so that's put me off the other side of the city.  :laugh:
