Ten Things Wrong with Scottish Football


5. The stick-it-right-up-'em Scottish crowd
When I was a kid watching games at Ibrox, Parkhead or Hampden I sensed even then "the angry Scottish football crowd". To this day the Scots aren't too keen on the type of football which tends to succeed, ie, methodical, studied and careful in the build-up. Scots like the ball to be bashed forward fairly quickly and tend to give a player what-for if, in the glorious vernacular, he starts "fannying around". Martin O'Neill commented on it at Celtic when he said the vast Parkhead crowds were "impatient to say the least".
