Bill 13,717 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I may be the only one but these too-frequent interruptions in the league season to play international games are frustrating and objectionable. The only point of them seems to be generating income for the SFA, UEFA and FIFA gravy-trains and since there has been no advancement of the sport in Scotland for at least half a century you have to question the sense of it all. Personally, I wouldn't miss them if they stopped tomorrow. Discuss. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,378 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Totally agree,about 40-50 years ago would attend Scotland games regularly but nowadays they are a total turn-off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 i feel like a rest for us will be good just now. Know we have a few players away but some at least will get a rest. In general while it is no longer the pinnacle of football probably i do love a Euros or Wrold cup and most clearly do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway the other night wore t-shirts attacking Qatar's human rights record. I also remember being dismayed when Scotland played a friendly in the Chile football stadium where Pinochet murdered hundreds. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,627 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Do away with the Scottish national team and just have a British team that we can all get behind. ?? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
