Not so much the usual triumph of hope over experience thing - some of us remember this, and haven't really recovered.
No, it's the spectators shouting out advice. It's not so much that the advice isn't any good - although I think most people would agree it's rather obvious and/or pretty goddam vague. ("Get in amongst them!", for example. Yes, I'm sure they never thought of that.) It's just that the game's in Hampden - and we're in a pub in Partick watching it on the telly. They can't hear you, ok? So shut the fuck up.
"All things are wearisome, more than one can say." - Ecclesiastes 1:8
