    Urgent: Flower Of Scotland

    in TA specific

    Posted

    I think like most other folk going on Saturday i have totally toyed with how i will feel come Saturday's anthems. The feeling the vast majority of Scotland fans felt early doors on the friday morning of that our hearts had been ripped out and every bit of passion we had for great country had been kicked into touch.

    Personally i have never felt such a combination of dejection, embarrassment, disgust anger and just about every other negative emotion immaginable, we all pretty much had an idea that we'd feel pretty low if we became the first country in the modern world to turn down a chance to govern ourselves, but i dont think any of us realised just how low we would feel and just how far reaching theat feeling would impact our everyday lifes and even intrests hobbys and.....fitba.

    No club or country defeat ever came close to the feeling 45% of the country felt when the reality of what our own country had voted for became clear, and hopefully it's a feeling none of us will ever have to endure again.

    However, after a hell of a lot of thought it has became crystal clear to me that THIS time at THIS venue it is an absolute must we dont give up on our beliefs and our passion that we have for our country, a passion many of the 55% dont have and never will have.

    I completley understand those that say they almost feel sick at thought of singing a song that up until the 18th of September meant SO much to us all, and now appears to mean so little, i get that, and get the feeling that we have had our passion ripped out of us.....However it should be the opposite.

    We have only 1 chance to show that we are not beat, we are not a puppet nation and that we as passionate about our country as ever. A half hearted version of FOS only gives a message to the twats we saw in the videos in George Square that 'they won', that our country is Britain ,and that Scotland and its ambition to be free and our own nation is now dead.

    Please remember the videos of the cretins above when the pipes start up, please remember that while it was a huge huge chance missed, that ultimately it IS going to happen, and that its up to the 45% of people to keep what we had and gave and hopefully many of the duped 55% will not make the same mistake twice.

    Politics and football dont mix, but this was and is very different... we dont give up on country when they fail on the pitch nor should we give up on our country because it failed at the ballot box.

    SING IT LOUDER AND PROUDER THAN EVER AND SEND A MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO THINK AND HOPE WE WILL NEVER BE A NATION AGAIN...

    'STAND UP FOR THE 45 SHOULD BE THE MOST FREQUENT SONG ON SATURDAY', A LOUD AND CLEAR MESSAGE TO EVERYONE THAT WE WILL RISE AGAIN....AND A LOT SOONER THAN MANY PEOPLE REALISE.
