The broken backbone of the Tartan Army

I assumed with the Scotland match being at Easter Road it was the Hibs fans booing cos he was a Jambo, Black is a liability & its not cos he is at Rangers as i've never liked the guy.

Well i will agree to disagree i completely understand booing at a club level but no way anyone should boo any player coming on for Scotland he is playing for his country and to be booed is beyond me.

Is it just Scotland that it's wrong, or was it wrong to Boo Neil Lennon at international level, or send Paddy McCourt and Niall McGinn bullets in the post when the played for the North of Ireland team ?

The 1st sensible contribution explaining possibly why he was booed the young lad Ryan McGowan was booed as well so i put it mostly down to it being at easter road as well.

But the point i was trying to get across was NO player should be booed by there countrymen when they are about to come on and play for there National side and booing the players mentioned above was down to club level mentality which should have no place in the Scotland set up.

NO player should be booed or sent bullets as you mention when playing for there country because of what they have done at club level or whoever the play for at club level or because of colour creed/religion it's wrong full stop.
