They do, but on Amazon half of the reviews said they were utter crap which stopped working after only a couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds similar to the cheapy USB record players that apparently apply too much force to the stylus and gradually damage your records over time. Saw a study on them a while ago that found they virtually all used the same parts, no matter the price, and all had the same faults. I sold a pretty nondescript DVD/VHS combi unit for about £300 before lockdown - I guess that explains why it went for so much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Lads, seriously, why are we persisting with Flower of Scotland as our national anthem? It's a terrible song, completely uninspiring and it's never, ever sang in unison. I challenge anyone to listen to Highland Cathedral and say this shouldn't be our new national anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj_3scEyVoI Stick some lyrics about Edward Longshanks being a b*****d on it and we're sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 The Scotland rugby team used to come out of the tunnel to Highland Cathedral. It's fucking sensational. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine a lone piper leading out the team at Wembley for the crunch Euros match playing Highland Cathedral. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up as the team marches into enemy territory, something stirring inside you as the bagpipes silence the stadium. This is war, and this is our war song. Unfortunately England end up winning 3-0, but for the first few minutes, until Grant Hanley gave away the penalty, you were inspired. Anything was possible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Unpopular opinions for this pish but I don't particularly like Highland Cathedral. It was written by two Germans in 1982 so not very traditional. Spain. San Marino, Bosnia and Kosovo have anthems with no words (probably not surprising the last two really) and we should emulate this to avoid the sight of thick sportsmen mumbling words they've forgotten. For the record Max Bruch's variation of the traditional Hey Tutti Tattie (Scots Wa Hae) in his Scottish Fantasy is stirring and should be adopted without words. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Stirring jingoistic national anthems are boring. I'd go for the theme from "Supergran", anything by The Exploited or that World Cup song someone released for Jason Scotland, just to confuse the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
