I just completed this quiz.
 

  • My Score

  • My Time
    73 seconds

 

 

That's what we like to see - immigrants integrating into the local community.

First Minister Sturgeon will be around directly with your Scottish Citizenship, Vacamion clan tartan and free deep-fried Mars bar.

lol 

 

I may be a fat English twunt, but I'd like to think I've watched enough substandard "fitba" at enough godforsaken crumbling hellhole stadia around Scotland to be able to answer a quiz about it....

 

:P

 

Looking forward telling wee Nic how to run the country, though....

I've been to a grand total of 3 Scottish matches, all in the 80s, I think:

- A Dundee derby match, when British Rail (remember them) had a ridiculous special offer to go anywhere in the country for £12 return. Can't remember the match well, probably due to drinking afterwards. Was a 1-1 draw, I think.

- A dire goalless draw between Airdrie and Hibs, possibly the worst match I've ever seen. A mass of lads went up for a weekend in Glasgow (good fun) and a Scottish match (not such fun).

- A Scottish FA Cup qualifier: Brora Rangers 2, Buckie Thistle 3. I had hitched to John O'Groats and was wandering around northern Scotland. A classic, pulsating cup tie featuring one of the best goals I've ever seen live - Brora guy jinked in from the wing and fired a curling blaster into the far top corner from out towards the touchline. In the club shop afterwards, when they heard I was English and had turned up on spec, they gave me a glass of malt and a Brora pennant....which was nice of them.

And you chose Dundee Alf? 

Serious lack of judgement right there. :D

Well, the Dundee derby match was on that weekend (back in the days when you could just turn up and get a ticket on the gate) and I thought that I'd probably never go to Dundee any other time....and I never have.

 

I had a disappointing first experience with Scottish football that I forgot to mention. When I was about 8, we'd gone on a family holiday to Ireland via the Stranraer-Larne ferry - so Stranraer became my Scottish team.

3-4 years later, as a Shoot subscriber, imagine my joy when I saw an ad offering to supply lapel badges for any team in the English or Scottish leagues. Of course, I sent off to order a Stranraer badge.

They wrote back to say that they didn't supply Stranraer badges - the first of many great disillusionments in life. I should have sued the bastards under the Trade Descriptions Act.

I lived an hour and a quarter away in Aberdeen. I went there ice skating once and never returned. Drove through it a lot though.

It reminded me of Stoke in the late 80's (regardless of the actual decade at the time)

I went to Stoke in the late 80s - not to a match, just ended up there while hitch-hiking.

 

It seemed to me that it was the worst place I'd ever been - and I've not been to many worse places since. 

If Dundee was truly that bad, I get your point. I just arrived, went to the match, went to a few pubs to neck a few pints of heavy, then jumped on a train to Edinburgh for the night, so probably missed the worst of it.
