Haitch Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Sorry - can admin please move to the Euro2016 area please. Right, first the back story. Me and my brother are mates with a couple of Polish guys. We watched the last qualifying game between the sides together (2-2), and during, we agreed that if either team qualified we would try and get 4 tickets for us all to go. So, Poland qualify and we have 4 tickets for the match on Thursday against Germany. 2 Polish fans & 2 Scottish fans. Whilst we remain neutral, we will be in with the Poles. Question is, what should we wear? Obviously we could go in civvy clothes, but I fancy wearing the kilt. Perhaps with a Poland top. Thoughts? Does that sound a bit odd or do you think it would go down alright? Cheers Edited June 13, 2016 by Haitch Please move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekfaejapan Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I cringe when I see clips of guys at tournaments wearing kilts...Same as that plonker with his jimmy hat at the England-Uruguay game a couple of years ago.

I'm flying out to Marseille on Sunday with the wee man for Poland v Ukraine on the Tuesday (he's 4 years old and half Polish). Poland tops and shorts for us. He's got both home and away Poland tops and I bought a retro Poland top off eBay. It's not even crossed my mind to take a Scotland top let alone a kilt.

hannibal smith Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I am flying out tomorrow to Lyon for a few days to go to the Northern Ireland v Ukraine, Czech Republic v Croatia and Iceland v Hungary games. Not packed the bag yet but the kilt certainly wont be going. Undecided if I will take a Scotland top, certainly wont be wearing one to the Northern Ireland game.

Radian Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Anyone that takes a kilt or a Scottish flag to a competition we weren't good enough to qualify for is attention seeking imo, just looks really sad & pathetic. That idiot with the flag at the opening game ? , cringe!!!!......obviously all the "no scotland, no party" brigade on FB thought he was a legend!

stitch Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 that is the answer don't take your kilt or a Scotland top as we are not there. I also think we should get uefa to ban showing the games in Scotland as we are not there so we shouldn't be able to watch it. THE TRUE ANSWER IS DO WHAT YOU WANT WEAR WHAT YOU WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE IN AND ENJOY YOURSELF. IF YOU WEAR SCOTLAND GEAR THEN IT WILL SHOW OTHERS WE ARE FANS OF OUR TEAM AND FOOTBALL NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintydave Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'll be there. Scotland top at each game I'm at. Nothing to do with attention seeking. Just something I want to do. Seems the TA fashion police are out and about even for non Scotland games now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I was at a rugby league final at Murrayfield where all the teams in the league were represented by supporters wearing the different tops . It added to the party atmosphere . I know we are all a bit bitter and twisted that Scotland didn't make it , but I think a few supporters in kilts or Scotland tops will go down well in the right setting i.e wearing them in Lille or Lens might not go down too well .

Donaldo87 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thought the kilt with a top from one of the teams playing might have been a laugh.... God help anyone that packs a glengarry as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radian Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 End of the day it's everyone to their own opinion on the matter, he asked for different opinions and he got them. I think in this situation kilts are attention seeking but that's me, others don't agree. I went to Brazil vs North Korea WC2010 game and three guys had kilts, glengarrys and scotland flags......at that game I thought they looked ridiculous but they seemed happy enough and nobody really paid them much attention. If you want to wear one go for it, you'll only regret not doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shed_Tartan_Army_Yeah Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 My mate is there just now and I'm pretty sure he has his Scotland top and kilt with him and quite sure by now he would have had either or both on at some point throughout his holiday. Don't worry though I will text him and warm him about his choice of clothes he is wearing and the backlash he is sure to receive or perhaps already has received during his trip. I will keep you all informed of his response.......But I'm sure he will tell me where to go. By the looks of things he is having the time of his life. I don't think his choice of clothes seems to be having any effect on him or the group he is with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it is attention seeking and a wee bit pathetic. in fairness though, adults wearing football tops full stop is attention seeking and a wee bit pathetic.

It's a big thing, the other top thread is discussing Eastern Europes love of bum bags. You could argue it's the one occasion where we can't complain about Scotland fans only going for the party! If they want to dress up for it, good luck to them. If I'd been going I'd have definitely taken a Scotland shirt at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelk Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It's no more attention seeking than the belgian guys with their Fellaini wigs or irish guys with their leprechaun gear. And it probably increases your chances of getting your hole. Or at least breaking some ice. And won't get you treated with suspicion. If you want that you should go 'Pure Brit'. You need to get your trouser shorts, summer plimsolls (no socks) and a hollister tshirt or England/NIreland shirt. Seriously, full day in lyon yesterday, it was 100% the Brit uniform. Wasn't even sunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
