Match Fixing - Scptland v Nigeria

Hey, as I've said here and on other posts on a similar subject I'm not asking anyone to agree with me. I've laid out my thoughts, pretty honestly imo knowing they would not be popular. If folks want to accept the national team and/or league structures those in charge of the Scottish game deliver, then continue in your unwavering loyalty. I do not and I will not support them, as is my right.

Also, with regard to sad posts, I notice that not one of the Scots have condemned the booing of a Rangers player making his debut for the national team. THAT, I believe, is what is sad about this thread and tells it's own story imo.


Dodger; I've condemned Manchester. I maybe never made my point clear enough though, as I've discussed previously with yourself and others, it is more the blind acceptance of the dross served up (to be fair wee chesney is doing better) that bugs me about the national support. I hope that's clearer.

Who was booed?

By who? Celtic fans who support Ireland or by fans of clubs who detest Ian Black as a man and the fact he was picked despite playing in the lower leagues when he wasn't good enough when playing in the top league?

By Scottish fans, fans of the nation he was representing. No excuse for it, btw, none at all.

Ex Hearts player, who, as soon as he moved to Rangers got capped........as was normal.
Never ever a Scotland class player.

Agreed but Avril was never ever a suitable Scotland Manager.

Incredible that the SFA asked him to carry on after his debacle of a 1st campaign,just incredible.

Actually no, it's the SFA so it really isn't that incredible.
 
Great start!

Nice wee bit of improvisation by Charlie there!

Cracking crowd and a good atmosphere so far but no doubt after an hour we'll get the 30 subs coming on to ruin the game.
 
I knew we would not win when with 3 minutes to go the commentator said 'that was 4 away wins on the trot' .

Decent team and effort, six match undefeated run is something we are not used to!!

Let me throw a curve ball, did it occur it wasn't Black the player that got booed but the booing was the fact that Black was playing despite being in the bottom tier of Scottish football and there were plenty midfielders who could have been picked playing consistently well at a better level?

Injury ravaged squad remember, Levein knew the player and his style well.........

Nah, I'm not buying that. We all know why he was booed by his own support. Still no condemnation of it, nuff said imo.

No sweeping from me, the guy is a cretin anyway so probably deserved the treatment. He was the dirtiest player to at in the SPL, particularly at ICT

Seen as you are on your high horse, how do you stand on the shocking behaviour of players from your club who turned their back on their country whilst George Burley was manager?

Petty, petty. How about Scotland's current player of the year?

I'm not on my high horse, merely giving my opinion.

'He probably deserved it' I take it your not a fan of the national team then? Or are you another with a wee problem regarding Rangers?

I'm out, y'all feel free to carry on with the double standards now. :)

I do care about the national team but not a fan of Ian Black, he's never a footballer.

I'm a rugby man now, I couldn't give a monkeys anymore about Scottish club football with it's corrupt double standards.

Not really, just deflection from the point about Scotland fans booing a Scotland player onto the pitch. Thought you'd be above that sort of bickering, a rugger gent such as yourself.... ;)

And BTW I had to google who player if the year was and I didn't even realise Commons stopped playing for Scotland
