Squirrelhumper Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I've never seen away fans in with us I must admit so it's hard to say one way or the other. There's been German, Dutch, Norweigan to name a few in with us at Hampden in teh past 10/15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt it mate, I've just never seen them. Certainly it's never been on anywhere near the same scale as this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgow jock Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sounds great - but you forgot the Scottish-Irish - where will they fit in??? Not many left now Helen - most are proud Scots & many of whom voted YES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishandproud Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 They only got that as we had no chance of qualifying and was never going to sell out. From reading bits on here many had/have no intention going to this one either, a higher allocation for us would have made sense all round.

hamilton wanderer Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I don't doubt it mate, I've just never seen them. Certainly it's never been on anywhere near the same scale as this one. a few Belgium fans also - but never any team in any significant numbers in my lifetime (been going to home games since about 1975) Can't complain though as I have and would do the same and I don't see any trouble anyway. Are we overlooking the following Tuesday though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind some England fans in the front of the old North Enclosure at Hampden (1985 I think), I was well clear, but a few teeth & a splattering of the red stuff was flying about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I had a German flatmate when we played them in 2002 or 2003. The 1-1 draw at Hampden. His friend came over for the game and they got tickets for the home end. When Germany scored they jumped up and were called Nazi b@stards, shouted at etc and thrown out of the stadium. So not everyone is accomadating to away fans in the home end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not everyone is accomadating to away fans in the home end. Yeah, I had a few French mates with me in the 1-0 game at Hampden. Fortunately, we won and they sat on their hands all game, but there were quite a few abusive comments aimed at them during the game. The concept of away fans in the home sections at Scotland games is pretty much untried and untested here, but I think it's utterly niave to think that every Scotland fan greets the few away fans that have done it with a big cuddle and a handshake. If Irish fans in the home sections next weekend think there's going to be some kind of big c(hard c)eltic love-in because we're all 'brothers across the water', I think a few might be in for a shock.

Bristolhibby Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 It's cause the rugby is full o' no voting Tory loving Barbour wearing kqunts. I think that sums it up perfectly. I'm going to the Ireland game on Friday and then to the rugby on Saturday v New Zealand. So are we effectively saying football fans are scvmbags and can't be trusted with a drink, but rugby fans are OK? I'm both, so how does that work?

Fact is, football is a tribal sport where rugby isn't. I'm sure that both of us behave in differently at the rugby than we do at the football.

thplinth Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The main difference is the huge amount of neds at the football compared the rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallaght24 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 You must have missed them then mate, on my phone, will get them for you later if you wish. Edit: look at greenforever's post a couple of days ago, there are others also. Anyway it looks like the SFA have warned us not to enter the home section in colours, should be interesting! Is this true?Have they made a statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 And the lack of neds would be why the TA away are a much classier outfit than the TA at home. On that note is it a concern the Orange ned element will be out to embarrass the support at Hamden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered when we played Northern Ireland back in 2008 at Hampden, if their kind would show up for an Orange love in but (purely from what I saw) they stayed away or kept quiet. I don't think there will be any trouble as it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bill Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Me neither and you'd think after 87 pages I'd remember it was at Parkhead as well. Sorry to be pedantic but once after I referred to the stadium as 'Parkhead' I was told it was obvious that I was not a Celtic fan as it is actually 'Celtic Park!' I was well and truly telt and have never forgotten that! I see on this short thread some Irish referring to their national stadium as 'Lansdowne' rather than the 'Aviva!' Liam (my new found friend) is there a story to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
