A Couple O' Jocks in Paris!

[brad.strider]

ano was funny when mcgeady was quoted in the paper saying he was fed up with abuse he gets all over scotland cos he chose to play for ireland. what does he expect? he was born in kingspark fs! fair enough if u cant get a game for ur own country... but to be born here and decide to play elewhere? deserves all the abuse he gets and more

Get your facts right Cambo, McGeady picked Ireland cos Scotland didn't pick him at all for years for the schoolboys despite him being one of the best players in the country at his age.

Ireland gave him a chance & he took it, Scotland then tried to get him back when he made the Celtic 1st team, they messed it up big time.

Its just the usual ignorant bigots who give him abuse.

spot on, there would be no fuss if he decided to play for canada or jamaica,once again scotlands shame rears its stinking head, and im not talking about fat kids!

if that is the case the words "spite" and "face" come to mind. ever thought that maybe he wasnt thought good enough at an early age to be picked for the scotland youth teams? its all down to opinion weather he was good enough at school boy age or not. to turn ur back on ur country because u dint get a game at youth level is a joke in my opinion. the way i see it he thought at the time ive got a better chance of playing at a major finals with ireland rather than scotland and thats gonna back fire on him. i wouoldnt even have him playing in this scotland team. theres been better players than him who havent played youth teams but made the break through for the first team. to say eveyone is a bigot that gives him abuse cos he chose ireland is total nonsene. hes a traitor .end of

Yes you are quite right. He is a traitor, and is treated exactly the same as other guys who have made the same decision. Like for example, ex-Rangers player Brian McLean, who decided to play for Northern Ireland instead of Scotland, and is hounded by Scots patriots wherever he goes.

Especially as he later discovered he had betrayed Scotland, to turn out for a nation he wasn't even eligible to play for!!!

Oh, wait.......

[cambo]

you know theres a bit of a difference mate. as in how high a profile the player is , thats why theres more discussion about mcgeady or have you got ur paraniod head on again?

oh wait....maybe mclean wasnt good enough to play for scotland and he chose NI. weather he was eligable or not is another matter

hmmm, must have been a different person who only a short while ago wrote....

to turn ur back on ur country because u dint get a game at youth level is a joke in my opinion.

[cambo]

  u seem to think i have a bigoted stance on it cos i was talking about mcgeady which isnt the case. if mclean had the chance of international football and wasnt good enough to get a game for scotland fair play to him i have no problem with that. same with ray houghton ect. but to trun ur back on country when you are good enough and decide to play elsewhere im not having that. and yes if a rangers player did the same when he could have played for scotland id say the same

You're really not getting this are you?

How was Ray Houghton not good enough to play for Scotland?

So if a player IS picked for their international youths then decides to go play elsewhere that's OK.

But a player who ISN'T picked for their international youths is not allowed to go elsewhere.

Glad we are clear on that now.

You a big Talking Heads fan Cambo?

I just watched those clips and felt proud to be Scottish.

Can we just for once drop the bloody polotics and be chuffed at the result?

Cos Rangers supporters support Scotland and what separates Rangers identity from Celtic Identity is stronger than what binds them under scottish identity. Sad, but true.

Loved the knife post, classic.

 what a lot of pish again mate , please dont post on topics you know nothing about.

 i'm not getting drawn into a debate about sectarianism , all i will say , is the majority of the Tartan Army are not Old Firm fans.

 you'll find it's guys who go week in week out to watch Peterhead or Raith Rovers and spend their hard earned to go out and enjoy the big game atmosphere's these campaigns bring.

 i was in the pub last night watching the game with about 12 - 15 mates some Rangers fans , some Celtic fans , but last night we were Scotland fans , we enjoyed the game together and we partied hard together afterwards , try telling some of them their Rangers or Celtic identity is stronger than the bond we had last night with Scottish identity.

 ps. i don't think it's a minority of Celtic fans who support Scotland either. fans from either side who support Ireland or England and NOT Scotland , they deserve to be deported in my opinion , but that's another topic.

You are entirely right and I am completely wrong.

I wish I knew some of the "patter" so that I could engage with you on this matter but I don't so I won't.

 just don't like flippant generalisations on subjects so complex and complicated you don't have the first iota of knowledge or understanding to back up.

 it's not about patter , it's way way way way more than patter to the people of Scotland , but people making silly misguided and incorrect comments just fuels the ignorance and doesnt help the situation at all , therefore there is no need for it imo.

 but at least you have admitted you are wrong this time 

 ps. fergus that's the best post i've ever seen from you , quality.
