I agree with this totally.I never want to see Scotland lose. I just can't actively support them. I was uneasy with them well before 2012. Their treatment towards some of our players and the club has been abysmal.
I just take the car mate, usually go and visit family after the game as I’m through that way but the bus is always something I’ve thought of joining at some pointYou go on the bus mate? I will probably know you ??
Only meets 2 out of 8 criteria’s to be classed as countryAlways thought it was a country myself but there you go...I stand corrected.
Scotland only meets 2 out of 8 criteria’s to be classed as a countryThey’re both countries but the UK is a sovereign state whereas Scotland is not m
Forget the other fansGood article. Sadly the responses are predictable.
Bemoan the fact that the national team is followed by (mostly) that lot whilst refusing to be part of the fan base that follows the national team. Makes no sense to me.
Interesting story, a fella in my home town opened a food van called “Jack-obites” around the time of the referendum, spent a lot of money. Thankfully the area voted NO!If the Jacobites were playing in my back garden, I'd close the curtains.
Most tims I know aren’t Scotland fans, even the Scottish ones. They all follow Rep. of Ireland, wear the shirts go to the games, so on.Good article. Sadly the responses are predictable.

Of course, it's sarcasm.Really? I can only assume that's tongue in cheek.
That you gibboOut of the group I go with it’s defo a Majority Bears although I know that’s not what you want to hear lol
This for me.Doesnt mention the booing of Rangers players or the anti Rangers songs sang by the tartan fannies....sorry not for me.
Thats how you are choosing to define a country. I’m as big a unionist as you’ll ever come across but I’m not so fucking insecure that I need to greet about semantics. I don’t see many separatists acknowledging the UK as a sovereign state?Scotland only meets 2 out of 8 criteria’s to be classed as a country
It doesn’t control its own economy
Doesn’t control its own security
Doesn’t control its own transport system
It doesn’t have sovereignty
It doesn’t have its own embassy
Doesn’t have the power of social engineering
So Scotland is just a nation in the country of the U.K. , if you check anywhere even the Scottish gov website it says Scotland as nation , Scotland is a nation in the country of the U.K. , other places like world atlas etc confirms this also
We also voted to keep it that way but I’m guessing you didn’t
We are all Ian Ferguson.
I abandoned them long before Ian , I wont be back either.
Fake news
I abandoned them long before Ian , I wont be back either.
That guy ain’tWe are all Ian Ferguson.
But the fact is Scotland isn’t a country I’m staying facts , there no definition it’s a factThats how you are choosing to define a country. I’m as big a unionist as you’ll ever come across but I’m not so fucking insecure that I need to greet about semantics. I don’t see many separatists acknowledging the UK as a sovereign state?
Clown.
If it’s a fact then there should be a definition that makes it a fact.But the fact is Scotland isn’t a country I’m staying facts , there no definition it’s a fact
The terms ‘Country’ and ‘Nation’ is often used interchangeably that they are thought of as different words having the same meaning. But there are major differences between the two.
A nation is a community of humans formed on the basis of a common language, territory, ethnicity.
A country may be an independent sovereign state or part of a larger state, a physical territory with a government, or a geographic region associated with sets of previously independent or differently associated people.
No really my country is the United Kingdom you sound like a separatists breaking upIf it’s a fact then there should be a definition that makes it a fact.
There’s a definition for you, which one better defines Scotland?
It’s usually separatists that get so wound up over semantics as they bend over backwards trying to argue their case.
As a former Scotland fan went to Wembley many times it’s not me that’s moved away from Scotland it’s Scotland that has moved from me. I’m British first a unionist and I despise secessionists the new Scotland support is polluted with rabid nationalists and Rangers haters and that’s before we look at the current manager and the football authorities. Definitely not interested personally and I cannot wish them well.No thanks
Like I said, I’m not insecure enough to argue that a country cannot exist within a country.No really my country is the United Kingdom you sound like a separatists breaking up
The country by classing apart of the U.K. a country
But it’s not a country Scottish government website states it clearly , world atlas states it clearly you can’t get much clearer than thatLike I said, I’m not insecure enough to argue that a country cannot exist within a country.
