kumnio Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Country over club, but both bring more misery than joy to be honest. Be good to win a cup with Dundee, or qualify for something with Scotland. Maybe one day..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Probably like a lot of folk. For the majority of the year and the last 17 summers there's no international football, so club football takes up much more of my thoughts and time. As a one off occasion Scotland games, even the crap ones, with 50,000 in hampden shit all over Motherwell v stjohnstone in front of 4000 fans. If I had to make the choice between going to Scotland home games and 1 away game every couple of years, or going to see Motherwell 15-20 times a season, I'm not sure what I'd pick? I'm quite happy I can do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest allyc Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Gave up watching Scottish club football on a regular basis cos the product isn't really worth paying for.the atmosphere is shit,the weather is shit and the outcome is always the same in the end.

Sadly, that's the same as following Scotland but with less games and the pain is drawn out over a longer campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Country. Cannot fathom why any Scot would put their club team above their country. Well, maybe 55% would... Maybe because they've more mates who they go to club games with? More family? Attend 40+ club games a season apposed to 7 or 8 Scotland games? Have more of an emotional link with their club as it represents their town where they grew up? Because they've attended games at their club from the age of 3 or 4 and have seen them rise through the leagues, win cups etc which unites the full town? Plenty of reasons why folk would choose club over country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit different. Believing your country isn't strong enough to look after itself is pretty sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'd probably say Club, at the moment. Previously i'd always have said Country but over the last 10 years there's been a slow erosion in how much i care. We're now at the stage where we don't even question our team featuring folk who're only in their because they're not good enough to play for their own country. I think i'm pretty close to chucking it all together. What's the point if it's not representative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock strap Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 I'll admit, like others, that after the 2 results, I'm a little bit dejected and wondering why I ( we ) put ourselves through it year after year. But. It always falls back on the fact that I am immensely proud to be Scottish. Patriotism is an addiction to some people. I think I am one. #onecountryonelove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't stay in Scotland or go to any Dundee Utd games, yet act like the most patriotic Scotsman and biggest Utd fan on the planet. I just find it quite amusing.
