Will anyone be going to any of the scotland games, and is your passion for scotland as strong as your passion for hibs?

Yes and yes.

And I do not see why some people have a problem with supporting Scotland. Do these same people have a thing for another club other than Hibs ie Liverpool, man U, Barca etc etc etc.

So question is, why have a go at Hibs fans also being Scotland fans and not have a go at someone supporting another club team?

I'll be there - and I can be as passionate about Scotland as I can about Hibs.....and some other sports. I still love Hibs more than anything in the world of sport but it doesn't mean I can't be passionate about other things.

Huvnae been at Hampden for a while cos o all these glory hunters :rolleyes: over the past coupla years :wink: and I know the standard of play and result will probably spoil ma day but that doesnae stop me going to ER every game for 30 years now!

I'm a football fan and that means I love football - any game anywhere - show me a game and I will be watching and soon supporting one o the teams - it's in ma blood! Ah cannae understand how people trash Scotland and the TA on here. It's the game you love and your country. If it doesnae float yer boat then leave it for those of us that do want to go and support.

if ye want to rip the p... outta someone stick tae the yams and OF.

I love my country but must admit to be a tad embarrassed about my sheer lack of interest in the national team.
Now listen, i so want them to win every game n all that , but i just cant get excited about it all.

The SFA are an absolute joke, diddy men. Any manager has a thankless task and is on a hiding to nothing though some of the selections n tactics we use are depressing.

I want to be excited about the national team but i just cant.

even when Hibs r pish n have just got humped, i'd still be doin the Hibees bounce on a saturday night n wakin the neighbours wi Hibs songs!

Bonny Scotland, score a winning goal for me!!!!!!!!

Won't be going but I dont think my passion for Scotland is any less than it is for hibs...it's just different.

You can lose interest in what the national team is doing but you can never lose the love for them due to the fact it's your country and you can't change that.

It's a different sort of love because you can't choose to have another national team. It's also great the way it brings fans of all clubs together and unites them under one banner.

To the OP, Rangers have been a disgrace as far as the national team has been concerned in the past few years. Poaching the manager, fans supporting England, whinging players and others bringing the whole nation down with their antics!!

Blues who care about our country should be up in arms!

Rangers needed a manager asked WS he said yes as he is a rangers man and the lure of getting one last shot of manageing the team he supported as a boy was to much as you said it's a different sort of love team and country and WS love for rangers was far greater than his love for scotland, no different from hibs asking JH to be manager imo. Rangers fans who suppoert England are usally english, what you mean whinging players who are you talking about?

Must admit I was peeved at Wally for that, but more so for him telling Scotty, Thomo and Whitty to stay put and learn their trade, only for him to try his hand to take them when he returned to Rangers....

If Wally was a flop for Scotland there wouldn't be a debate, but he was as successfull as we have been for years.

Without getting in to a flag debate, already had them, the Union flag (jacks as you call them) is not the english flag, the st georges x is the english flag, the union flag is the british flag, the blue cross on ir represents the st andrews flag.

If I recall, I said that I didn't remember seeing St Andrews flags in the hun end. I also don't think anyone posted a picture of said flags at ER, just a random picture of hun fans.

I was born in Edinburgh and lived there for 10 years but then moved to the Isle of Man with the family. I now have to prove I'm scottish almost every day because I have lost my accent but I do it because I'm so proud to be Scottish. It saddens me to see the lack of interest in the Scotland team this time around, admitedly a couple of the results have been a tad embarassing but its our country ffs!

I'll be at both games and really looking forward to them (glutton for punishment).

Like being a Hibs fan, I think you have to suffer these dark days (hammering by Norway/Mixu's tenure etc) to really appreciate the rare days in the sun (wins over France/CIS Cup triumphs etc). That's why Old Firm fans in the main, who are used to winning most weeks, will never 'get it'.

The glory-hunter fans do annoy me but they're a natural by-product of any success (even if it's limited).

I'm behind George Burley too.

The point I am trying to make is that huns have more Union Flags than St Andrews flags at matches and that's what cheeses me off.
And before anyone posts it, yes there are probably more Irish Flags at ER than St Andrews ones, but that also pees me off.

Quite right babe. As for this searching malarky, I've got a job to do you know!!! I cannae spend all day on hibs.net spaffing off like a tame wee hun that cannae spell or dae capital letters or even grammar, not that any of that really matters in the modern day obviously as we have much more to worry about.

However, one thing I really must say in regard to an earlier post that I was going to put into my last one but forgot, was the chap (see, must start using the search button) saying we (hibs.netters) would not give a supporter (????) of one of the other mob as much hassle as we give a hun? Eh, naw. Wrong. They are both a bunch of cancerous, parasitic bukieswillingsoapdodgingsisterandandprobablyevenbr otherauntieunclenadgrandparentloving prats (I missed out fathers as very few of them probably met their own fathers,unless of course they were in the same cell as them in the bar-L, or even Glenochil that is). I know it does not go down well with some people on here but I would rather see that mob of turds from the other end of the Capital ( see, capitals again pet hun, supporter of a provincial team that you are) than watch either of them do well.

Jesus, not having a dig at the op, but why does this same question pop up at every international break.

Simple rule of the thumb, Scotland will never play Hibs, Hibs will never play Scotland so why can you support both with the same amount of passion.

Oh and to answer the op's question, Yes there wil be around 52,000 people going and Yes see above!!

Well said that man. Do we think this same question would be getting asked if we were as succesful as a Brazil or an Argentina? Me thinks the Scotland boo boys would be very quiet if that were the case! Why not just get behind the team? :rolleyes:

Is the pre-match build up at Ibrox still like a tribute to the last night at the proms then? Do they still blast out the theme tune from the Dambusters. Is Andy Cameron still a ****?
Nope, you can't win.:greengrin.
Yes he is, he doesn't do the stuff on the pitch now, which is good news.

Jesus, not having a dig at the op, but why does this same question pop up at every international break.

Simple rule of the thumb, Scotland will never play Hibs, Hibs will never play Scotland so why can you support both with the same amount of passion.

Oh and to answer the op's question, Yes there wil be around 52,000 people going and Yes see above!!

That line of thinking has never worked for me. So what if they will never play each other, the Scotland team is still made up of numerous players who I, as a Hibs fan, cannae stand. Doesn't matter a jot to me that they're not wearing a Hearts/Rangers/Celtic shirt for that particular 90 minutes, they remain a Hearts/Rangers/Celtic b******* and there's no chance I can suddenly just forget that. Even guys like Gordon and Hartley who no longer play for Hearts remain ***** of the highest order IMHO.

The Bill Streuth flag makes me boke. One of the biggest bigots in recent Scottish history. Perpetuated the no-R.C.'s signing policy.

Back to the Scotland flag debate, more flown by Rankers fans than Celtc that's for sure. Hibs fans, plenty green and white ones but not many "traditional" ones.

As for Scotland, love Hibs more if pushed to choose but going to Hampden as usual to cheer Scotland on :saltireflag

There's a clue in the title aye....that said, you did confess to following Rangers....or are you the one who sits on his hands and buttons his lip as the other 50,000+ belt out Rule Britania/GSTQ and of course other little party pieces about the Pope, Catholics and in fact, anyone who is not of hunnish origin.

If so, fair play to ye. That said, if so, you'll be banned from hunbrox with no chance of trial. :wink:

This one seems to work

More Scottish flags in the Rangers end than in the Hibs sections of the ground, that's a bit of a shame. Dispells a few myths though, I suppose.

I'm not so sure. Youre right about Scotland flags (but then we have very little flags at all - at least in the east). Flags is one thing, what about the rangers fc songbook and their attitude? The average Hibs fan doesnt bang on about catholics or proddies or any of that rubbish nor does he go on about ireland or england.

The average old firm fan does go on about both. All of that lot are a shame and disgrace to Scotland.

Well I was at ER for the Celtic game last week and there were more Irish flags in the East than there was in the Dunbar End, and now we see the photographic evidence of Scottish flags amongst the Rangers support......and no, I am not trying to start a flag debate.

Rangers fans who suppoert England are usally english

Not, from personal experience, always the case. There is a small but significant number of Rangers fans that wear england tops, presumably as some kind of wind up.

Your club even cashed in on this by designing an away strip that mimicked the England strip of the time.

Too late :wink:

So, how many were there in the respective ends? You've made a categorical statement that there were more in the east than the Dunbar End, so you must have counted them.

That would be to pay homage to the Englishmen that played for them in the same way that the orange strip was for Dutchmen. Believe that you are a Dutchman.

The makers of the top usally have a template which the tops are mate, making most tops similar with that maker.

No, and no. Hibs for all time!

My thoughts exactly , only time I go to a Scotland game is when there is a current Hibs player playing, [ granted these days thats not very often] and even then I only shout for him.

I don't feel a choice needs to be made between Hibs and the national side, unless the argument stands that international games can cause injuries which impact domestically - being that anyone donning the Green and White seems to be overlooked when caps are handed out though, it's not really relevant.

I support my national sides just as passionately as my domestic side, but don't go to many games.

It's a sad day if you go to a game to count the Irish flags.

If a tiny wee element of the Hibs support fly the Irish flag then I would like to think it's a show of support for the Irish players that we have in the team right now.

Sadly I think that this may not be the case.

That wasn't why I went to the game, and I think you are right, they weren't there as support for our Irish players, as i've never seen English or Northern Irish flags there to support players of those origins.
