Jim Beem Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Couldn’t give a fucking if they sing or not, always amuseds me that people seem to use this as some sort of barometer of effort. If thats even on your radar, maybe better heading to a Jedward gig than the football. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I get where Kirk is coming from. If you feel passionate about something it can give you that little bit extra, when i I watch the rugby lads, they give it everything from the anthem to the field of play. I’ve often suspected some of our players don’t really care that much about Scotland. I’m not saying that’s the case with tierney before some of the resident Celtic fans get upset theres nothing wrong with wanting to see some passion and I don’t think Kirk is using this as a barometer for effort.

Well maybe he's confused because he plays in front of cunts singing about Ireland and the IRA every week. 4 hours ago, Mox said: Honestly, how many times do people like you have to be told, there is no direct correlation between players singing a national anthem and their performance, it's ukip level of thinking btw, it's embarrassing. Tierney was excellent the other night as his intelligence, ability, understanding and reading of the game are all more important than national pride, which btw doesn't go a long way towards anything. The Italians sing their national anthem with passion and gusto everytime they play and they didn't qualify for the world cup, how do you explain that? At no point did I say it would make him play any better? Would just like to see them all show a bit of pride and sing and he was the only one that didn't. 3 hours ago, Scotland Ever More said: Especially when the critic would rather spend his money on replica Barcelona tops than watching his team.

That's pretty much all I was saying but, the Celtic fans are a bit precious about wee Kieran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singing or not singing doesn't equal passion. He put in a good performance on the park. That's passionate enough for me. I'd rather have 11 players who stand silent and win than a bunch of dumplings who like a wee jig and a sing song cos they're bursting with "national pride" Oh and his comments about Tierney preferring to sing the soldiers song make him look like an idiot.

As above. All I said was Tierney should sing and you took offence. Nowhere did I slag his ability or performance. If people still wanted to discuss the game they would.

ceudmilefailte Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Doubt if many of the players really want to sing the song,just a piece of showmanship to ensure sky keep paying for the product. Nothing like a proud nation singing an anthem together to boost viewing figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean our rugby team, more than 50% of which were born outside of Scotland. Some even have no Scottish blood line and have moved to Scotland for good money, hired to play for the national team.

Getting players from our most bitter rivals to play for us. I’m not sure what you’re point is PS All I said was the rugby lads sing the anthem with more passion. Being a follower of both nationals side I think the rugby team shows more pride and passion for the country than the footballers do. That could be down to a number of factors, we haven’t had much of a feel good factor in football for more than ten years although for a while the rugby team was battling for a wooden spoon every year.
