1ANDYP Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Just watched the game against there. Scotland showed far too much respect. Especially 1st half. They were there for the taking but we played for a point. I wish we could have a wee bit more belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple, harsh, bitter truth of experience. The Scottish curse. We all succumb to this cynicism eventually. I succumbed in my mid forties. I think I was an early developer. As a rule I think you have to be in your 50s (as I am now) before you stop fighting it. Maybe the extreme levels of our shiteness in recent years has brought the average age down.

Caledonian Craig Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) How about if all the negative gits create their own negative thread and post there? This negativity is seriously not welcome and not productive. If people want to still believe or feel positive then great leave them to it. I am all for differing opinions but all this ultra-negativity can GTF. A simple response like cant see it happening and then trotting off to another thread would suffice.

I don't know how old you are CC, but trust me, there are only so many punches in the guts you can take before it just stops hurting any more. Even back in the 70s and 80s when we were "good", the Scotland team did this to you. The only difference back then was that they got a bit further before they did it to you. Pretending that this eternal ability to snatch disappointment from the jaws of ecstasy doesn't exist, doesn't make you a better supporter than anyone else. I messaged TDYER63 last Sunday to get her views (she had been to the match, I hadn't) and she said she felt like a battered wife who keeps coming back for more. An excellent analogy I think. I guarantee it will happen to you one day. Edited June 17, 2017 by Marky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not mean you have to pour out your grief and negativity on everyone else though. It certainly doesn't help and it just helps drag down the mood of others.

Your negativity is my realism Here's a positive. If it wasn't for cynical auld farts like me, you happy clappers would have nothing to moan about!

Eh check my recent posts if you wish from say a couple or three months back and you'll see I'm no 'happy clapper'. All I am is a supporter who feel we should be getting right behind the team right now and create a positive atmosphere. Some of the horse crap posted on here is exactly what we don't need.

If you wish Marky but let me ask you this? How do you feel mentally right now? Fed up? Peed off? Depressed? Any of those and you are just projected those sentiments onto others in a more positive frame of mind. Do you really want that or couldn't you give a sh!t?

I'm 46 ( for the record) been following Scotland through thick and thin home and away since 95 and I'm not sure what game it was or when it happened but the stuffing has been truely knocked out of me! Can't take any more glorious failures my body is just immune to the pain now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rude Gullit Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Surely scrapping to qualify for tournaments is now the equivalent of our past efforts of actually getting there and struggling to get out of the group? We're never likely to win a tournament, so being a Scotland fan is all about savouring the journey while it lasts. If you're tired of that then you're tired of life.

RabtheBruce Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Right now I'd take qualifying for a major tournament, never mind doing a Greece and Denmark. Even reaching a play-off would represent significant progress compared to recent campaigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
