No but Liverpool (the city) has been Irishified, just like Glasgow, Dundee and all the other shitholes that vote for people who hate being British. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but they do suffer from exactly the same unwarranted exceptionalism syndrome as the SNP and its community of victimhood junkies. I wonder what grand political gesture was being made when they booed Ryan Jack again? Maybe the nationalist grunts thought he was playing for England, or was he just the wrong sort of Scot maybe? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedell 5,353 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Our national anthem is GSTK. It doesn't matter whether you're Scottish or English. That's your national anthem. The SFA have decided not to use it for whatever reason and chosen FoS as the anthem to use for the Scottish football team. It isn't our national anthem though and the SFA don't decide what our national anthem is. The English FA have decided to use the national anthem as the national anthem. They've kept it simple and are using it correctly, unlike the SFA. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who professes not to care about the national team you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time listening and watching out for noises in the crowd. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoS, while a stirring tune, seems to celebrate a defeat (Flodden) which is odd. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, I've never heard it sung. Thirdly, I have no problem with the verse. It's only referring to rebellious Scots and not all Scots, and I'm totally in favour of rebellious Scots being crushed. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is not referring to the Battle of Bannockburn? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
