"the same with wales , as long as they are part of the union , only god save the queen should be played" Why? | |||
"while scotland is still part of the union there should only be one anthem played , all should stand and sing god save the queen then the game should be played , " these rebellious scots won't stand for that | |||
"while scotland is still part of the union there should only be one anthem played , all should stand and sing god save the queen then the game should be played , these rebellious scots won't stand for that" Verse 4 of what the Englishman wants us to sing I believe, no chance | |||
"while scotland is still part of the union there should only be one anthem played , all should stand and sing god save the queen then the game should be played , " To put it politely go take a flying fuck Never have and never will sing that abominable song  | |||
"Never have and never will stand for the queen "  | |||
| |||
Which is a utter shame as it used to give me goosebumps every-time I heard it | |||

"going to the calcutta cup in march , be fun to hear what the scots sing , if the want to sing flower of scotland i dont have too great a problem with that , but i wonder why they would want to sing about being a nation again when they had the chance and decided not to take it , but as the queen is the queen of not just england but of scotland also they should stand proud and sing god save the queen as subject of her majesty would "She's not the Queen of Scotland... | |||

A honestly cant stand that woman or her family, we're scottish & will sing flower of Scotland #DealWithIt | |||

"But flower of Scotland sing Rise now and be a nation again We never so until we do get independence I for 1 will never sing it again Unfortunately
Which is a utter shame as it used to give me goosebumps every-time I heard it"+1 I also wonder how many NO voters in the Scotland crowd stand and sing this song, unbelievable same as the way they voted. This song can only belong to proud scots who believe in the song. | |||
"I would sing the American national anthem & pledge allegiance to the flag before I sang god save the queen! " +1 | |||
"Has anyone actually heard the 'rebellious Scots' verse being sung?" yes; there was a documentary years back on TV regarding this, as well as how the song evolved and how it was written, im sure it was on BBC | |||

"Dougie MacLean also wrote The Gael which for me is more of a goosebump piece of music and there is no lyrics to it unless you consider the drivel Clannad brought out years ago. " everyone should attend the Amber festival which is on every year around the end of October, Dougie Maclean organises and puts on many shows all around Dunkeld and Perthshire, some fantastic artists and you will hear all Dougies music, he puts a lot back into his community and its a fantastic time for all | |||

"As a very long time rugby supporter, may I add a few points??....Firstly, as one that can remember not so long ago that the ONLY anthem that was played at Murrayfield was God save the Queen, and it was hardly heard for the cacophony of boos from the majority of the crowd, to the embarrassment of many!, since the decision to adopt "the flower", at least the booing has stopped. Secondly...to suggest that because of a majority ..no! vote, at the recent political referendum, means that Scots should lose their right to classify themselves as a separate nation is the very attitude that has helped to swell the numbers of voters who support the SNP. Thirdly.....and to answer the original question, the musical arrangement at Murrayfield is not new, and has been used for a number of years, personally, I like it (though not a huge fan of 'the flower',despite having met its writer)I think that the second verse sung unaccompanied shows a degree of togetherness and support for the team when sung in time and in tune, a feat that very few crowds ....especially the Twickenham one...can manage to do when singing their Anthem. My only bug bear is the fact that the majority sing 'to be A nation again......when Roy Williamson wrote the song the words are'to be THE!!!!!!! nation again......please try and get it right people......" Well said.. | |||
 its sooooooooooo stirring  | |||
"I think BOOGIE WONDERLAND should be our national anthem its sooooooooooo stirring "How's about..London calling.... | |||
