jmothecat Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Sing it loudly as ever because a referendum on the constitution has nothing to do with how Scottish I am. Though I do think it's a shit song. I would prefer something like Highland Cathedral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 To the original question I dunno if I'll sing it, really hit home when even my mum said what will they sing at Scotland games now on the 19th, if she as someone who knows f**k all about or cares about football thinks we would look like fuds imagine what the opposition will think. The no vote truly has been embarassing, no voters and the 90 minute Scots can go take a run and jump when it comes to the national team, should wait till 2016 and fork out the cash to support team GB in Rio.

1320Lichtie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Wouldn't it be great if Flower of Scotland was belted out loud as f**k by everyone because they're there to support the national football team instead of acting like a bunch of fucking pussies going to a game with a political agenda. The referendum is history and fucking irrelevant to the game. It wasn't a vote for any political party. It's 100 percent not irrelevant, it's a Scotland NATIONAL team game and we have voted AGAINST becoming a nation. Why do we deserve a national team?!?!?

I doubt most folk have any desire to bring politics into international football in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, except the Scotland national team and this particular political event are directly linked, as it's the "national" team. Political issues affecting the identity of a nation have manifested themselves in national sports teams on many occasions. We aren't talking about some uppity club supporters pretending to be the guardians of social justice, we're talking about people who don't know if they can call their national team the representation of a nation. If politics and sport shouldn't be mixed then why would you even give a f**k if it was FOS or GSTQ, or whether the team you supported was even a Scottish or a British one? I guess if it comes to the point where they're deciding to scrap the Scotland team and form a GB one (which would be more than fair enough) you'll be completely uninterested either way? After all, "I doubt most folk have any desire to bring politics into international football". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't chose to be a region of the UK. In what way is it relevant? We have a national team whilst being part of the Union and have done before the vote and still do after the vote. We have a national team whether we 'deserve' one or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, "I doubt most folk have any desire to bring politics into international football". The vote wasn't about being Scottish, it was about whether we wanted to leave the union. The team represent Scotland, that is true whether we are independent or still part of the UK. 'Flower of Scotland' is the song which represents Scotland in sporting (and other) events, and in the context of a football match is about supporting the football team that represents Scotland. How does our membership of the UK alter that? It never has in the past, why does the referendum change that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Jmothecat is a fucking willy I wouldn't bother trying to get into a conversation with the boy after seeing his posts on the referendum. Brainwashed labour lover. All no voters should abstain from the national side, it's MORE than just a football team which they obviously don't seem to realise.

1320Lichtie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 So hypothetically - What if you were made aware that the whole national squad, Strachan, his coaching staff etc and every person at the SFA had voted YES?? Would you still have the same narrow-minded, dummy-spat, and ultimately PATHETIC attitude towards supporting Scotland?? What's pathetic about my attitude to supporting the side, I'll be at every game home and away, I'm not a hypocrite no voter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I liked the poster on here Renton's suggestion that we just replace the national anthem with a minute long version of the Alan Partridge shrug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Uh huh... Pretty poor deflection attempt. I said 'loosely translated' not 'Here is a direct quote of exactly what you said'. So no son, it's you who doesn't get it. Regardless of whether Scotland is governed from London or Edinburgh, I will sing Flower of Scotland at the football. Because I'm Scottish, proud of it, and getting behind my team and country in a footballing environment, where I will not be giving a f**k about politics. I'll get behind the team but I'll not be singing that song knowing 55 percent of the Scottish population would rather a government in another country (same country now to be honest) controls Scotland. No voters singing; 'We can still rise now and be the nation again' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
