Imagine rounding up all the PHMs on kickback, mixing them with cretinous casuals and secterian bigots, taking them away from their unhappy marriages on supporters buses to shagaluf and piling them with beer, cheap vodka and absinthe. The superiority complex from Hearts fans towards the Tartan Army gives me the mega cringe.

Can remember seeing Hearts fans in Athens having a contest to see who could fit the most bulldog clips on his penis. On a public street.
Top bants.

CRINGEY/VERY CELTIC etc... For me, I think this is very cool and a credit to Scotland. A very uncool opinion to hold, I know, should call them Celtic and that.

What a credit to our country Lets just admit that all football fans are scum and be done with it.

I was in Prague too, tend to agree with the view that most football fans are cretins.

More of a rugby type atmosphere than the nasty football casual atmosphere. It's the claims of being the bestest behaved fans in the world that's very Celtic, I didn't claim a Scotland away trip was like a Celtic trip. Arseholes will be arseholes abroad, regardless of their country of birth or what team they support.

Scottish national team fans have been known as a good natured and well-behaved since the 70s, if not earlier. This may be inaccurate, but it is an opinion that has been formed organically over the last 40 or 50 years of them following their team with minimum arrests and self-policing of the support. Celtic however have used a modern corporate PR strategy in the last 8-10 to attempt to cover up their horrific followers in an effort to make their club more marketable and commercially viable. Celtic fns are scum, they are evil, bigoted, violent vandals who attack innocent members of the public, terrorise local neighbourhoods and spit on Hearts fans who wear poppies, support the terrorising, racketeering IRA, put their jumpers over their faces and pretend to shoot fans with imaginary AK47's and mock our war dead volunteers from 100 years ago. That's me just brushing the surface. I'm not in the Tartan Army, but to compare the numpties who follow Scotland with Celtic fans is the ultimate insult, imo. For a few here to try and back out the argument by saying "all football fans are exactly the same" as if QOTS fans are as bad as Celtic fans is a complete nonsense and frankly, a cop out.

Looks a great laugh tbh. :spoton: I'm not enough of a PHM to only be friends with Hearts fans and throw away the green fruit pastilles, so sounds like a decent chance to have a football weekend away with your mates who support other teams.

Totally agree with your post, apart from the inaccuracy about Scottish fans in the 70's. At that time Scotland had a horrendous reputation for hooliganism, particularly, but not exclusively, in relation to the annual England game. Scotland fans then weren't the cringey, doe a deer Montrose fans we see today. They were Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Hibs etc. And because of the political climate at the time, it was the only avenue for them to express their "Scottishness". To give you some perspective, God Save The Queen was still being played as our national anthem before games up until the mid 80's. The awful, doe a deer, party even when we lose, tartan army monstrosity, began to take form as a direct reaction to the English hooligan firms that exploded in the early 80's. ( A direct reaction to the humiliation many young English men felt after seeing Wembley totally overrun in 77) The Scotland support, in an attempt to distance itself from the thuggish brutality of the English fans, went out of their way to portray themselves as friendly drunks who were just here to party. This was especially evident during Euro 92. English fans were rioting. Scottish fans were kissing lady cops and being voted the best fans of the tournament. The contrast was stark. Unfortunately, what mutated from this was the Timberland wearing, wha's like us, "We lost hahahahaha!" cretin we have to endure now. Like I say, It wasn't always like that. They (we) were always pricks, but they used to have an edge.
