TurbineTon Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Highland Cathedral.. U fuckin wot? Horrendous. Can we be bmfl? Never in a million years should this be a national anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 how about this.... although I like the first few bars of the last movement of Bruch's Scottish Fantasy- it's the old Scottish tune, Hey Tutti Tatti (Scots Wha Hae) as interpreted by a European composer and I find it quite stirring. what ever we choose should HAVE NO WORDS because footballers look like p***ks trying to sing national anthems (honourable exception La Mayonnaise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Jagsfan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Harsh but not necessarily wrong I reckon. Anthems and peripheral shit like this are best when they grow in an organic way. This is some pr fucker trying to justify the ssc prices, which are pretty dreadful. I voted for the status quo, but a man's a man is the one that gets my blood stirred. I didn't realise Status Quo sang ay of the possible National anthems. but 'You're in the Tartan Army Now' might get things going at Hampden!

HibeeJibee Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Anthem doesn't necessarily need words, IMO. Hearing the Japanese & Spanish anthems at Hampden during the 2012 Olympics, both were very impressive/moving/inspiring - Japan's particularly.

No8. Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 1/ You can't manufacture this, 2/ if we haven't got one , we haven't got one. 1/ I agree. 2/ We do have a National Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullane No 4 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Loch Lomond Aye, a song about death would just be about right for some Scots as a national anthem. FoS to me is about the re-birth of a Nation. Happy with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just noticed the result is on the BBC website. Photo is one of a teuchter with a see you Jimmy hat. Very appropriate with regard to its embarrassment factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessies long lost ghost Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 It is a song based on hatred about wars which happened over 700 years ago between two French speaking Kings, Robert the Bruce has absolutely nothing in common with me. It should be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 23 votes for Flower of Scotland, so far 54 for something else. I don't really like Flower of Scotland either but the options there don't really fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The whole debate is further cringeworthy soul searching. You can't manufacture this, if we haven't got one , we haven't got one. As usual time and effort wasted on the unimportant peripheral pish. Meanwhile prices go up , crowds go down and the state of scottish football is dire. But let's pick a wee teuchter song to make up words too. Ffs Oh Christ, somebody else pushing the Armageddon line. The state of league football in Scotland is better than it has been for years and the national team is also improving; how that relates to it being 'dire' is beyond me.

Miguel Sanchez Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Fully agree. I'd prefer no anthem, they're almost always just vitriolic, nationalistic pish. Are you sure you understand the point of a national anthem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete's Frontier Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 FOS for me, although most of the tartan army cannot sing it. The egg chasers can, not the ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Oh Christ, somebody else pushing the Armageddon line. The state of league football in Scotland is better than it has been for years and the national team is also improving; how that relates to it being 'dire' is beyond me. So it is. Rangers , Hibs and hearts all in the championship, Celtic will win the league with their worst team in living memory, grounds around the country more than half empty, clubs considering going part time in our top league, but it's ok wee gordon has put together a couple of decent performances. Everything is rosy. Rearrange those deck chairs my good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
