What sports are Scotland good at?

[usbear]

Bring back fox hunting

We’d wipe the floor with those cute wee rascals

 

[williewoodburn]

Curling. Thats it.

Scotland has a long history and tradition of top swimmers and middle/long distance athletes, not just "from time to time."

I don't see any deterioration in our sports, other than international football and possibly rugby.

Yes, the only two sports that the Scottish public actually cares about and we are fairly shyte at both.

There has to be a reason why we are falling behind other nations of similar size and more particularly why we are even falling behind the other British countries with the same size populations, give or take a million or so?

I'd say even Rugby is a minority sport in Scotland.

Football is the only sport that attracts regular mainstream interest and on a national basis we are absolutely shite at it and the management and running of it is even worse.

All other sports we punch way above our weight.

 

[Daviot Bear]

Motorsport, over the years we have produced some of the best drivers

 

[Houlet]

Obviously we are brilliant at football, our superstars under their masterful tactician manager thrashed a European Pub team today 6 - 0.

 

[Monts1310]

Nothing of note. Although they do obsess over the English, quite well.

 

[nemessis]

Do they have a world arguing comp ? I reckon we would be in with a good chance of winning.

 

[So Mote It Be]

Dominos.

 

[pelem]

Self deprication, the Sfa are fuukin zen masters of it.

 

[pelem]

Subsiding lol

That frigid pygmy needs a right good shaggin to stop her playin silly independence games.

She'll be aww the better for it.

 

[Melbbear]

Fishing.

 

[Glasgowsteve]

We’ve had some top racing drivers over the years, including, Jim Clark, who some say is the greatest of all time.
Whilst the overall national team has been poor we’ve had some talented individuals in there.

 

[Potnbear]

Tossing your caber

 

[Bulletproof]

The sport made for mad handsome ba#*ards.. Shinty

 

[Randy Marsh Loyal]

Fishing and fly tying

 

[Davidsmith1]

Doubles doesnae count !!

Why ? A world champion is a world champion . So does a team winning the world cup not count then?

 

[MelbourneBear]

Do you have anything to back that statement up?

 

[Captain_Buns]

Sniffing gear in pub toilets

I’m yanking your chain...I forgot he won the doubles

 

[Emperor Smith]

Clearly not football.

Moaning, Chip Carrying, Finger Pointing and Blaming Others.

I would class Scotland as pretty decent at both Football and Rugby, arguably punch above their weight at both on occasion.

They aren't the only country trying to be good at sports.

The reaction to for instance the defeat at the Rugby yesterday to a country with a population of 126 million and one of the richest countries in the world - it isn't a massive shock in all honesty.

That Scotland would be soundly beaten at football by a country like Russia - it isn't that big a shock

 

[yarrumdavid01]

Shooting with shotguns, pistols , Uzi's, razor slashing and stabbing.

Well that’s you convinced me to put China on for the World Cup

 

[ttbluenose]

Would give you the boak. Sycophantic harridan.

Only plus is it's just a rugby match and not a concentration camp

 

[PrivateAye72]

We had one lad who was pretty stellar at tennis for a bit.

 

[Jase]

How can you all forget our favourite national pastime?? (According to James Dornan)

Sh1t ah’ve missed this, didn’t know it was on.

Just wondering, can you get a 19th Century Terrorist Muslim?

Awe ffs that’s me shattered.

 

[Daleboy91Watp]

it sometimes from afar appears to be a national pastime

This aww day we are a nation of torn faced wankers. I find it tends to be folk that do %^*& all with their life thats the worst. On all sorts of benefits and still moaning like %^*&. I find myself running out of patience with our mindset sometimes.

 

[shawlandsbear]

Conkers & kerbie.
That’s about it

 

[imvaison]

Ambulance chasing.
