The Tartan Army

Post by Belgianclaret » Fri Jun 14, 2024 10:24 am

Making a tremendous atmosphere in Munich at the moment.

From past experiences in Brussels surely one of the best sets of supporters, always chanting and never looking for trouble.

Shame their teams are always rubbish though 😜

Good luck to them anyway 👍

I’ve nothing against the Scots. I want to see them do well. They are a passionate bunch and have more in common with us northerners than a lot of England fans.

Saying that though, I still want England to stuff them whenever we play them :lol:

As the best fans in the world, there's a lot we can learn from them. Starting with supporting anyone who is playing your nearest neigbours. As such, and in accordance with Scottish fan rules, I'll be supporting Germany this evening.

Now I've grown up, I've realised that wanting our closest neighbours to do well is a positive. At the very least it makes us better. As long as we beat them when we play them

Yep a great laugh !
https://x.com/fingaldinz/status/1801564 ... 36690?s=46

Anybody who worked in Manchester as I did on the day and day after Rangers played in the euro final will attest to what a great laugh they were.

Or when Celtic played Bolton in a preseason friendly and smashed up the city centre.

Or when they played burnley and smashed up the centre and the ground and were throwing darts at burnley fans

Or the 20,000 Celtic fans who went to blackburn in the euro game and ran riot all day long (only 8,000 got in the ground…the rest just carried on smacking up the place)

Such a great crack are the Scottish footy fans !!

I had to drive into Manchester that day from Liverpool as I had a meeting. I totally forgot the game was being played in Manchester. Trying to get round Manchester to the office (which I hadn't a clue where it was) surrounded by p!ssed Rangers fans was a bit of an eye opener

If they are the best fans in the world, are they different fans than what follow celic and rangers?

Their effort is poor. Little to zero pressing and they are letting Germany have the ball.
