Guest Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 What do you reckon will happen then, and what would you like to happen? I'll be honest, how much I can get behind Scotland is pretty much pinned on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Its going to be either A. awkward and mumbled Or B. vociferously sung by the yessers, possibly even moreso than ever before Hopefully b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Id proudly sing it as a yes voter. Most of the no voters probably still sing it anyway as they have no clue what it means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I don't go to Scotland games, prefer to watch in the pub or just on the telly tbh Anyway im sure the anthem will be sung as loudly as ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I don't know - I honestly don't know how anybody can sign Flower of Scotland with any real sincerity when 55% of the population voted for God Save the Queen or Jerusalem or some fucking thing.

Does the whole thing make you give less of a shit about the team? I was starting to get into it all again, now I'm not sure how I feel. I'm stuck between two Colin Calderwood's right now.

I was starting to get into it all again, now I'm not sure how I feel. I'm stuck between two Colin Calderwood's right now. I suppose I don't think I know how I feel about it until the time comes - at the moment, I'm in the 'meh - who cares' camp. Silence would be the best option - the prospect of thousands of breast-beating bravehearts roaring out FOS in the aftermath of the referendum seems genuinely ludicrous to me.

Rob1885 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 As a yes voter I'm still entitled to sing it as much as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It's going to be fairly awkward, and it's not going to be as loud as before. I'm torn between feeling proud of being able to sing the anthem as a Yes voter, and not wanting to purely out of spite. To add - I foresee God Save The Queen getting booed very, very, very heavily.

Elixir Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It's a pish song and it would be nice if all yes supporters simply turned their back and remained silent whilst it was being played. Replacing it with Scotland the Brave is kind of out the window now too seeing as voting against your so-called nation's political independence is the complete opposite of bravery.

Silence would be the best option - the prospect of thousands of breast-beating bravehearts roaring out FOS in the aftermath of the referendum seems genuinely ludicrous to me. I've come round to thinking total silence would be utterly quality. Imagine the awkwardness from the 10% or so no voters in the ground (people who support Scotland but voted no do exist, unbelievably) who go along for a day of being a JockLad bantah merchant, only for the anthem to kick in and the ground to go fucking silent. Sounds hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Maybe it will be GSTQ that they play as the anthem , that would be a nice wee surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Got to ask, had it been a yes vote, 51%-49%, would that make FOS completely okay - even though 49% wanted Scotland to continue to have its arse wiped by Westminster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Mints Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 We'd have....."still rise now, and be a nation again". I'm giving up the national team for a while. I just couldn't attend the game so close to the vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quality - I've been thinking recently about that film The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, where folk are wandering about not knowing who's been assimilated and who hasn't!

I have to say that, even as a Yes voter, I wouldn't have felt completely comfortable with 49% not being happy about independence. The Tartan Army firing right into FOS after a win for Yes could have been quite a special moment, though. There you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
