Was sitting in a nice little bar is sunny Spain cheering on the Scots, was gutted when they didn't get through they battled their hearts out and regardless what any of you say deep down you know you'd be proud to have a national team that play'd with the determination and pride the Scots have in parts of this qualification campaign.

That's true of many teams but I don't care whether they win or lose either..................................and if I knew that they had a real 'sporting' hatred for my team then I'd laugh at them when they lost in the last minute too.

While true, I can understand why Scots might find that attitude patronising. It's so tempting to say "battled their little hearts out" lol
stuff em i say.... i went to the world cup in japan in 2002 and at every game there were quite a few bitter and twisted jocks in their kilts and sweden/nigeria/argentina/denmark/brazil tops waiting to see us fcuk up..... and i remember news footage of somewhere in paris in 1998 loads of jocks laughing in the faces of the crying english fans after we lost on penalties to argentina... so i say ha ha ha ha to their failure
Scotland's fans can now claim their rightful place this summer supporting whoever England are playing from whatever Bar they are in Glasgow/Edinburgh/Dundee/Aidrie etc etc
for the Scots amongst us - 1/3 delicious, tasty haggis, 1/3 perfect mash and 1/3 steamed then mashed neeps, although the haggis was maybe a wee bit more than 1/3

Ive been faced with enough bollocks from Scots in the past to know that i am still chuckling away and will still be even if we dont qualify.
