DaveyDenoon Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The game against England should be cancelled immediately, It's gonna be a total humiliation and I'm not talking about the result. No way am I going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Help ma Boab Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 How about for the length of the song we just chant Hypocrites over and over as anyone who sings that song after voting no is a Hypocrite. Embarrassed to sing those words and the England game will have trouble I guarantee it as they will come up to wind everyone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McVinceSCT Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Mates, a vast majority of the Tartan Army voted YES. Flower of Scotland is a freedom song for people who voted YES. This is YOUR song and the anthem of YOUR country (or land, area, state, province whatever you call it). Absolutly no way you should stop to sing it! You guys can be proud of it! It's not your fault if 55% voted no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtscotland Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I would accept that the majority of Scotland fans would have voted Yes but it's use has to be seen in the context of the referendum result and in my opinion singing it would appear to self satirical and without dignity. It will be forever a reminder that the Scots did NOT have the bottle and I do not want to be constantly reminded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realfifer Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Dear Ronnie, It's been a blast, but I think it's now time to part company. In light of recent events, I'm sure you'll agree, we need to find another way to express our pride (if we can ever find it again). All the best, Ali.

Hope Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I'm not making a conscious decision to stop supporting Scotland, but at the moment i just feel no enthusiasm whatsoever towards anything Scotland related. Hopefully it'll come back to me but i just can't see myself being as passionate about the team as i have been in the past. Don't really feel Scottish just now, i just feel deflated. As for FOS, i don't think i'll be able to sing it for a while, or sing it seriously anyway.

GTC Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 45% of Scotland voted yes .If it was not for the 45% we would not be seeing so called change now.The so called change in WM IS because 45% voted yes and I would imagine a good percent of the TA did vote yes. We should sing this loud and proud do not be defeated because regard less of what we think now this will go tits up at WM and we will be leading this charge again with in 5 years to hopefully being a free country with more backing because WM have once again shafted us. Alway's be proud to be Scottish .We will get our chance again. Lets show the English and the Irish it was not the TA who let Scotland down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realfifer Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 We can't seriously sing this song again, not in the immediate future anyway, it would be too painful. Of course the 45 could sing it to the 55, changing the first line to "Oh Cower of Scotland" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realfifer Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 We could sing 'Cap in Hand'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA Torr Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Still proud to be Scottish. Will sing my heart out as always. Just cause I don't agree with the way the majority voted doesn't mean I'm going in the huff with my country. This is almost as daft as those who said they would move to England if there was a yes vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyHead Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I cannot get the negativity at all. That was a battle. The war is still on. The promises made are about to be broken. People like Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage will rip them up in an instant, given the chance - and the 2015 election may well give them the chance. Even genuine attempts to carry through the promises will collapse in the face of the (quite reasonable) demands of the English for their own protected treatment, eg by stopping Scottish MPs telling them whether they can hunt foxes or not. A massive amount of negotiation would be needed to cut a deal that satisfies everyone, and it won't happen - too many vested interests, too many squabbles, too many low quality politicians. It will soon become clear that Scotland's destiny can only be driven from Edinburgh. And Gordon Brown will be fully exposed as a man with no stake in anything except his own self-aggrandisement. Next time, it's YES, and by a large margin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowBoyInHerts Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If we are going to sing it how about using these words to start us off?

Lawman Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I understand your feeling, however as other posters have posted, very few of the 55% will be at the game, we should be proud to sing this song even louder than ever before, remember, 'we can still rise now and be a nation again' maybe not in the immediate future, but one day it will happen! Have faith! As far as the Engurland game, who cares what they try and taunt us with, there will be nothing we haven't heard before, the best way to deal with that lot is to give them a good doing on the park and for that in Gord we trust! Don't let the ba*tards get you down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartanTeddy 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 I won't make quite that same level of commitment, I could drift back, but in the immediate future I'm certainly taking a break from following Scotland. As for Flower of Scotland - can't imagine ever singing it again. TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Help ma Boab Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) To be honest the way I feel right now I am close to tearing my Georgia tickets up and binning them as there just seems little point in having a National team if we are not a nation. I know I will mellow but I am really ashamed right now of my fellow Scots. Edited September 19, 2014 by Help ma Boab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougiemacfarlanearran Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 All over twitter n Facebook, videos look very convincing especially the wee fecker marking crosses on his own no slips!!!

The Laud Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The tartan army will now be figures of fun whoever we play/go.We will just have to get over it.As for flower of Scotland how anyone could even think of singing this is beyond me. Not saying am no going back got tickets for georgia,ireland. and booked up for poland,ireland,Ithink i will just use them as a wee holiday. Devastated with the result last night and will evalue the situation after the poland match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McVinceSCT Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I understand your feeling but please don t let other people putting you off following the football team and the country (or whatever you call Scotland) you like! Instead of this, keep showing your support and your love! A vast majority of the TA voted yes, let s stay all together and show we won t give up the fight!!!

Guest flumax Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I understand your feeling but please don t let other people putting you off following the football team and the country (or whatever you call Scotland) you like! Instead of this, keep showing your support and your love! A vast majority of the TA voted yes, let s stay all together and show we won t give up the fight!!! You don't get it. International football is played by national teams. Before yesterday we had a pseudo national team based on historic reasons, but last night the vast majority of people on Scotland said they wanted Scotland to be a region of the UK, and if you believe in democracy we are now confirmed as a region. as such regional teams should not play intensional football. I'm certain some will say get a grip. But I can't see the fairness of Scotland being allowed a national team when other regions such as flanders, corsica, basque etc can not.
