Trying To Be Upbeat....

Recommended Posts

Heading to Ibrox tomorrow with the boy, as I have done for years now, however despite a cracking team in Scotland colours I can't ever remember ever having felt so downbeat about the match.

After the Referendum I'm still crushed and to be honest a bit embarrassed about being "Scottish".....whatever the f*ck that means nowadays.

The Poland away trip was a possibility but that's been ditched for a family holiday, the England home match is a definite non-starter due to listening to 90 mins of laughter coming from their fans....oh, and the ticket prices.

Ah'm scunnered, p*ssed off and probably depressed................

Very similar position. If it wasn't for investment in train, hotel and ticket. I wouldn't be going

I've warned everyone in my group, If anyone mentions constitutional affairs tomorrow im walking out the pub and catching the next train north.

The worst feeling is I actually resent the "national" football team, the sfa, spfl, etc. I feel that these few institutions such as these appease many and make us feel like a real country when we are not. If there was no sfa, sru, structures we'd have no status in the international arena and people may have craved for it more.

I'll see how a feel when I pull on the top and head down to Hampden.... Nope fecking ibrox of all places, but I'm not up this what so ever.

If you see a grumpy git On the Aberdeen to Glasgow train in about 2h with a carry out, it is likely me.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow although I think that is mainly because i'm meeting up with friends and going for a few beers before the game. Hoping that after a few drinks we'll all get really into the game and I can enjoy it.

Hoping for a good win so we can have a good night out afterwards :)

Feeling exactly the same... I am sure the 5pm kick off will help the atmosphere

Scunnered is exactly how I feel. I have my ticket, bus booked and originised to meet up with fellow supporters. I did not have the 'up fer it' attitude, so decided to put on some old DVDs & Tunes. All I can say it comes flooding back. Mon the country.

I agree Andy, but our time WILL come!

My prediction of a Tory UKIP coalition next May looks like coming true!

The SNP will win more seats and then surely Scots will realise that Independence is the only way!

Let's back our national team to qualify for Euro 2016 in the meantime to give us something to look forward too!

Would there be an Edinburgh agreement again though. I seriously doubt it. I hope I'm wrong.

My mrs sent me a Text today. To be fair I was already up for it . But made me even more so. -

I'm right fired up for this tomorrow! I can't wait! We're going to need to play a blinder and shock everyone. Bang in the goals, come out on top and have everyone feeling the pride.

I'm singing flower of Scotland at the top of my lungs. I'm proud to be someone who wanted this nation to stand on its own two feet, regardless of the challenges we would have faced. I wanted a better country for my daughter and her peers. I wanted a better country for the future generations. A socialist country for us all to be proud of. No one being left behind. I am proud to have stood up and been counted. Mon the 45!!!!!!!

Not really, I want the team to win every game....but the whole Referendum situation has me on a complete downer which I'm finding difficult to recover from.

I'm very bitter to the "no" voters as I know they are soooo wrong but cannot or do not want to see it.

I was feeling the same as this, having campaigned for Yes, however came to the conclusion that it's OUR team.

For a variety of reasons the vote went the way it did, however I am convinced we will win...eventually

Fully appreciate for some folk football and politics don't mix. For me I can't separate the two but I won't ram it down the throat of people I know who voted No

It's Saturday , day out wae my boys and ma mates before heading to see my country's team try to get themselves to a major tourney. What''s not to enjoy. I voted Yes and I was effin gutted but I'm damned if it's gonna stop me enjoying my life. If you win hold yer head high, if you get beat , hold it higher and look the bar stewards right in the eye. Mon The Scotland!!

Think you've probably summed up the feelings of many mate. Trying to be positive. A couple of crumbs of comfort - I'm heading to a YES city to see Scotland play from a YES county, North Lanarkshire :).... but while I'm think about it..how the f##k can so many people living in the shadow of the Wallace Monument vote feckin No ffs...sorry am off on one again... positive.. positive.

Bit depressed myself. Think I'll stay quiet during FOS, maybe a bit too soon for reclaiming the song. 80K membership on twitter for SNP tonight was a bit uplifting though. My England ticket may go to someone who wants it more though. 45.
