Sorry, not buying it, either way. (and I'm Anglo-Irish rather than Caledonian) Baz - yep, never been tempted to go to any game without a ticket, unless I was very confident of being able to get a non-exorbitant ticket from a tout.

Dooogs Jun 2021 5:03pm, 19 Jun 2021 6,745 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs Assuming you mean Nicola Sturgeon, she's responsible for stuff happening in Scotland, not the behaviour of Scots south of the border. If the game was in Hampden, it's not as if Sadiq Khan would be responsible for the behaviour of London-based fans in Glasgow?

JRitchie Jun 2021 5:11pm, 19 Jun 2021 2,457 posts	Quote Pin JRitchie My son was one of the Scots fans in London. But weirdly he doesn’t even like football- went to be with a couple of mates. However,all three live and work on the South East. Plenty of Scots travelled South, but a large percentage likely lived in England. There are many of us down there. However i sense of people starting to care less about the complicated tier restriction structure we have. It’s also very easy to point out hypocacies which undermines confidence (or give an excuse for us to undermine confidence).
Cerrertonia Jun 2021 5:19pm, 19 Jun 2021 14,164 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia Large crowds of drunken young men chanting racist and homophobic abuse in the main shopping and tourist areas of a city would be illegal even if there wasn't a pandemic. Compare and contrast treatment of women protesting police inaction on sexual violence, black lives matters protesters, far-right nutjobs, anti-vaccine/mask nutjobs with treatment of Scotland fans yesterday. I guess if enough people do it, the police won't take action. (And to be fair, I think the police handled it well and there seems to have been relatively little trouble, and presumably any resulting rise in Covid infection will mostly be self-inflicted).

Too Much Water Jun 2021 7:37pm, 19 Jun 2021 8,845 posts	Quote Pin Too Much Water It’s very laudable to clean up after yourself having disgraced yourself the previous evening. I’ve done it a few times. My host always prefers it when I don’t mess up in the first place though. Behaviour like this is why the hooligans got put in cages in the 80s, like animals!
JRitchie Jun 2021 8:23pm, 19 Jun 2021 2,458 posts	Quote Pin JRitchie My son spent the game in a pub with his two mates and they were the only ones there supporting Scotland. They were honoured with the chant “you’re the only three”. All in good spirits (thankfully). I’m glad we didn’t win.
