Were you expecting anything else? You'd think they could think of something more recent to celebrate than a bunch of mercenaries of random faith hired by a Dutch thug some English traitors invited over to help them out.

Albus Bulbasaur Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Whilst we are at it surely Scotland needs to change it's national anthem. The glee in which some of the scot da gammons belt our the lines about wars and victories from hundreds of years ago is pretty weird for what I like to belive is a forward thinking society. I'm sure everyone would agree with this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lot more sinister than that They don’t believe Catholics are equals in society they believe they are and should be treated as second class citizens I believe Paisley was a supporter of apartheid South Africa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with him on plenty of levels just manage to do so without my head melting and getting raging on a football forum over it. My point wasn't pish, I'm guessing you don't find Flower of Scotland a bit odd and behind the times?

I'm not sure about it as an official National Anthem to be used at all official national events, but as an anthem sung before a football or rugby game, where the objective is to whip up the support and motivate the team, then I think it possibly works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Lord grant that Marshal Wade, May by thy mighty aid, Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush, God Save the King." Scotland the Brave is the obvious and better alternative to FoS. But we'll need to change that line in the 3rd verse. Oaft.

I'm sure everyone would agree with this. Flower of Scotland is about resisting conquest, not doing it. I don't like it at all as a national anthem, though. I remember voting A Man's a Man for A' That in an STV poll years ago suggesting alternatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave you to start the thread, it sounds remarkably boring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
