exile Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 15 hours ago, todd said: Is there actually something inherently wrong with us psychologically? As a nation 😄 We are definitely partly messed up in the head. As a sporting nation our psyche is messed up by the media. We just can't escape our self perception being mixed up with other's perceptions of Scotland as a plucky underdog, for whom glorious failure is natural, or as (sometimes) part of a bigger world-beating sporting nation, that means we can have some of the confidence/arrogance of being a big nation and some of the hang-ups of being a 'smaller' country, but without the self-confidence of a nation that doesn't need to know or care of what its neighbour thinks. 'We boast - then we cower' When we can't watch our own national team on public TV except when it is in fact broadcast by our traditional biggest rivals, stacked and skewed towards the viewpoint of that nation's media.

Eliminating a major competitor at the finals AND just a year after the Zidane-Matterazzi incident and all that ill-feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could watch him for hours. I'm a bit of a secret fan though. Always turn it off when wife walks in. I feel daft sitting for ages watching a white man with an Afro talking about happy little trees 🌲 and drawing little cabins in the woods when I have no real interest in painting.

Rich NATA Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) You've had a sh*t day at work? Then go home and watch a hour of Bob Ross on Sky Arts. He'll make you feel a bit better.

Injustice of him being the one to slip is only matched by McTominay not getting his goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
