The Scots and the Welsh play their anthems before a game but we play 'God Save The King'

Why don't we play 'Land of Hope And Glory' instead of that dirge that is the British National anthem?

Far more uplifting!

Haydn's Kaiserhymne "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" It's time we ditched it for something more English.

It was touch and go in 1940.

Twas never in doubt.

And we've just changed the National anthem.

Could be a long while till the alternate version is revisited.

Will the Monarchy survive the next two Kings? Could be never.

Probably beyond my lifetime, but I'd expect it
will survive in some form. We need the cash they
generate.

Certainly beyond mine as I'm older than Chas.

Crisp77.  17.35.   I once made that same assertion to my father-in-law and quick as a flash he replied,………” and shyte floats”.   Sad

Wee doad has a very sad, doleful gaze about him.  There is something melancholy about his whole demeanour.  I get the distinct impression that he may like pastel shades.

O flower of Scotland should be good tonight for the fans at match,  and players playing for country, but not sure it helps you win or lose football matches.

I detest Flower Of Scotland. It is a dirge, a lament and says nothing positive at all as far as I am concerned.  We aren’t a nation anyway, just a province within the U.K.
Jim Sillars got it right in 1970’s when he coined the term “ninety minute patriots”.  An anthem isn’t required anyway, a signature song should be adopted.
Ask The Proclaimers to write one.  Better still put it out to tender.
Please win Denmark.  Don’t embarrass us by sending this lot to the U.S.  We’d be humiliated.
