Any Scotland supporters got anything to say about the Scotland support bringing anti-British politics into football and booing GSTQ?
That's another £4k fine for the SFA on top the £16k fine they received for having the political emblem of a poppy on their jersey against England and a £16k fine for numerous infringements against Poland in 2015 including someone invading the pitch, flares being used and blocked stairwells. Does the Tartan Army think they can just do what they want?
Isn't it about time that the Tartan Army were banned from Scotland games? Will FIFA need to close a section of Hamdpen down before these over grown Neds start following the rules and stop costing the SFA money? Think of the damage to the SFA's and the team's reputation. Kids don't go to the football to be dragged into some idiots politics, how do you explain booing GSTQ or what a poppy means to a young kid? It's about time the Tartan Army were taken to task over their continued bad behaviour at games. Yeah they add some colour and noise but the SFA are more important than any fans group.
People don't go to the football to get others' political views rammed down their throat. ;)

A classic Ed-ism. well spotted sir.
{Ed007's Note - Thanks mate.}

Totally get it, Ed. Don't necessarily agree. but get it.

They sound like a bunch of bigoted Scottish Republicans to me! Poor Queen-her and Martin McGuiness and Dr. Paisley (RIP) managed to find common ground so I'm sure The (beloved unblemished welcome all over the world) Tartan Army could too. After all the past is in the past and there is no place in 2017 for politics in football. I'm sure EUFA will take appropriate action in due course.

Outstanding ed and very true.
27 Jul 2017 19:51:53
Pro Scotland, pro Palestine. no probs. We can't hide from politics. Flares. bit daft? IRA banners. not sure. Happy to debate. Booing Lizzie. ok by me. Would you ban swearing for the sake of kids? Part of the gig. " Up to our knees" etc. nah, hard to see what that has to do with any modern political position. Hate for the sake of it. That's where you draw the line.
{Ed007's Note - You do know that I wasn't being too serious don't you?}

Sure Ed, I get it. It's a good point well made.
{Ed007's Note - (yes)
27 Jul 2017 21:33:46
Ed if only you were a bird ðŸ˜.
{Ed007's Note - Well sometimes on a Saturday night I do like to be called Edwina ;)
27 Jul 2017 21:52:23
That's how we love you like a doo 😂.
{Ed007's Note - Gosh! (blush)

Nothing worse than the 90 minute Scotsman, the ones that get dressed up in their kilt, tackety boots and see you Jimmy wig and belt out the Flower of Scotland and shout about how much they hate the English then a referendum comes along and they vote NO.
{Ed007's Note - Absolute morons, Stevie. I don't know what's the bigger red neck, the national team or their supporters. A wise man once told me that anyone that goes to Scotland games is worth the watching and that advice has stood me in good stead since my formative years.}
27 Jul 2017 22:25:31
I've been to one Scotland game in my life with my youth team at the time. It was the 1-1 friendly with Romania when John Kennedy got his career ended. I was also away for a slash when Faddy equalised. Never again!
{Ed007's Note - My school took us to watch Scotland v Argentina in '89 or '90 i was 15/16, that was plenty enough for me and it was after that the wise man spoke. It's one of the reasons why I 'support' Argentina at the World Cup.}
27 Jul 2017 22:37:41
ED what you say is very true, I hope that the press and media give these "fans" the same treatment that they have given to the Green Brigade, however, I won't be holding my breath.
{Ed007's Note - Someone should start a petition - everyone loves a good petition.}

Next thing you know they'll be building monuments to their 'freedom fighters and singing rebellious songs about our dear king.
The line about voting no was a belter.
Anyway is this no supposed to be football site where we can't discuss political matters?
I'm away tae ban masel.

I was at the Argentina game in 79 think it was Maradonas first game for them, my dad used to take me to Scotland games in the 70's and early 80's, should of reported him to Esther Rantzens childline lol.
27 Jul 2017 23:29:43
I have been to a couple of Scotland games also. England in 85 1-0 and
Colombia (Valderama) 0-0. NEVER felt a connection! Couldn't care less if Scotland didny qualify for anything EVER again. (and no, I'm not Irish) .
28 Jul 2017 10:20:18
well said ED. they cranks think they are the best fans in the world. pishing all over town centers and flashing there tiny maggots thinking they are hilarious. i bet cities love them coming!
28 Jul 2017 16:37:51
That's deep.

I too have a confession to make, (probably a reserved sin for a Bishop to forgive), I was at a N of Ireland match in the early 1970s v England.
