Wolfgang Overthebar Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Its nothing new, is happened for decades - Denis Law, Jimmy Johnstone, Kenny Dalglish, Gary McAllister, Brian McClair and plenty others all been booed whilst playing for Scotland. And just look at the hatred on here towards certain current players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanday Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 They started very early around me - just a few but..... We are there to try to make a difference during the game. Do what you like after, it still ain't helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was booed then thats piss poor but i've not seen any evidence to suggest he was booed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Made a schoolboy error interacting with the anti Scottish element of the Rangers support on twitter - forgetting that 1 - They are looking for any excuse to reaffirm their hatred of Scotland 2 - My profile pic is me in my kilt That being said - booing Lee Wallace (which would appear to have happened) is not on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcca5 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It's another reason we are shite. Booing at half time when I don't think Scotland had played that badly was a just dumb. The crowd should be getting behind the team but every shot of the crowd was folk in Scotland tops with folded arms. From the TV the crowd was quiet most of the game unless they were getting at the Scotland players. Not sure how we fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CovGer Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Weirdest thing I saw last night was an argument nearly coming to blows about whether David Speedie would get into the current Scotland team. (I'm assuming Speedie in his heyday, not actually still now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak91 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Even people in here referring to our own players as grasses, honest to god, no wonder we are shite and our support is an embarrassment! Edited October 9, 2016 by Ak91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batzek-osemba Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 If you cheer and applaud them off, they probably think you are appreciating their Performance. Nothing wrong in booing and showing a football team that you are not just a bunch of "we ll come anyway, no matter what happens" fans who can be fed shit football for years now.

Batzek-osemba Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Scotlands football has one of the best set of fans i ve seen so players should start to appreciate it with on pitch Performances. If fans and players would be at the same level, there were 10 thousand fans not 50.000 and theyd be totally silent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zahana-oni Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Wallace is probably our 7th best option at left back. Probably booed because of that. Oh, and he is a grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girvanTA Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Got to admit I never heard anyone boo Lee Wallace, heard a few moans and groans when Forrest came on and I heard a few choice words when Martin's name was in the first eleven.

Booing at half time when I don't think Scotland had played that badly was a just dumb. I agree and it is not the first time this has happened. Getting embarrassing and I would not mind betting that our players prefer playing away from home. I am aware of the well-paid professional argument but these are young men and we should support them properly. Hampden used to be a place where we were strong. We need new songs too..

Ally Bongo Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I think GR Bear is specifically meaning the booing of Lee Wallace when the substitutes names were being read out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radian Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Wallace plays for Rangers that's why a minority boo him. A minority of die hard Yes voters who haven't gotten over the fact No won the referendum and Rangers celebrate everything Yes voters hate. Might be wrong but that's my opinion, no one can deny there is a strong hatred for Rangers amongst a lot of the TA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Wallace name did get some boos, heard it whilst sitting in the East. Expect a statement from The Rangers shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
