You don't follow Scotland? :confused:

Are you an immigrant? Or are you just one of those Celtic fans who are disloyal to their country and follow Ireland?
I'm a die hard Celtic fan with a family from to Ireland but that's no excuse for not following the country you were born and raised. Sorry if I'm being a bit prejudiced btw  
The Scottish national football team is not 'my country' it is a football team ran by the SFA. If it were a war I'd back 'my country' but it's a game of football and when it comes to football I'm a Celtic fan pure and simple.

doesnt matter if its sir fergie managing, scotland will never be up to the standards of the dutch.
The manager took off McFadden, left Boyd on the bench and brought on a nobody called Iwelumo (or some shit) who happened to miss from 2 yards out, which would have beaten the team that got second place instead of us.

and if they won? the manager would have been all over the papers saying how much of a world class job hes done. at this stage another new manager isnt going to get them anywhere.

What? With Smith, then Mcleish as coaches, they were playing good football, and actually getting results against big nations. Under Burley we couldn't beat Norway at home, and got fucked away
