dougiemacfarlanearran Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Now I was as proud of my anthem as everyone else and think it had a huge effect on the players when played before the matches but after last nights shameful result personally I think the only thing positive that we can do when the anthem starts would be total silence bar the pipe band at the next home game v Georgia Don't think it will take much organising as most won't sing anyway!!

France here we come Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) What are we protesting? The majority has spoken. It's just a shame that the majority are dirty, spineless, quisling bastards. Edited September 19, 2014 by France here we come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320lichtie Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Genuinely have no enthusiasm for supporting Scotland anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougiemacfarlanearran Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Not the teams fault so can't believe people won't go back to matches! Bit harsh! All I want is the sfa to change the anthem to something more appropriate, FOS would be cringeworthy every time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liviloyal Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Won't be there (in Poland early) but if I was I wouldn't be singing it anyway. Would be quite embarassing to do so. Caledonia for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liviloyal Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Here for the party TA This. See you guys for a beer I though we wer aw gonna stand by which ever democratic decision was made and move as one nation. Any wi nae room fur politics or religion in fitba, there's enough fitba related stuff tae argue about never politics. I'll follow scotland anywhere I don't need anybody's approval tae tell me am Scottish and proud. Mon the Alba I'm still Scottish and proud, and I'll follow the team around the world. But I just can't bring myself to sing about rising to 'become a nation again', when it turns out we actually can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France here we come Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Moot point as i will never be back or even take an interest in any Scottish sporting side A knee jerk reaction but one that I understand. I was thinking the same earlier but why should we let the unionists ruin our support for our NATIONAL team just because they only see us as a region?

runningtings Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 For one thing most of the Unionists would have no idea what was sung as the anthem at the game as they won't be there and they won't watch it. So who exactly would be protesting against, ourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Agree with the sentiment but no matter how painfull I will sing FOS, in the hope that we can one day rise to be a nation again. I am only 40 and hope to see independance in my lifetime. Alba Gu Brath ( Scotland Forever) PS We must now focus on qualification for France 2016, that is now our aim.

redstevie007 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I won't sing FoS again. Not because I want to take part in some protest, but because the Scottish people last night removed our right to the sentiment the song espouses. I've got a hand-written copy of FoS framed on my wall, signed by Ronnie Brown. Right next to it is a big print of the Declaration of Arbroath. How the fukk am I supposed to look at them with any pride now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, the Unionists don't see Scotland as a region. They see it as a country. Just not as a sovereign state of the UN - as Richard from Pointless would say.
