Im English and i identify with this Anthem too. Yes we had our squabbles on this little island in the past, but i feel we have moved on from then, and it's good that we remember where we were then, and the peace and unity we have today.
@NumberDne They were not little squabbles, England is an evil invader of sovereign nations that spent nearly a thousand years trying to conquer the land of Scotland ever since they first came over from what is no9w Germany after the Romans left Britannia - an extend province of Rome. (What was once Briton- Welsh land).
@NumberDne What amazes me is how long your corrupt Westminster government can hold out, it's been suffering scandal after scandal after scandal with no loss of embarrassment.
Your Prince Andrew had to give up his trade rights because of his extensively disturbing lavish trips all over the globe and his questionable association with an paedophile in England.
@NumberDne And now we have a phone hacking scandal. The mainstream media are in an uproar, perhaps busily diverting attention from their own wrongdoings and trying to keep the public at large ignorant of the wider ramifications.
Is this present scandal really any different from the scandals past – we all remember the MP’s expenses row, and what of the others?
@NumberDne True investigative journalism in and around the halls of power would be screaming all the facts about the ongoing scandal of Westminster and demanding reform, sadly true investigative journalism appears to have a vested interest in avoiding these issues.
For the depth of Scandal at Westminster in our present era we need only go back to the waning days of the last Conservative government and begin working our way forwards.
@NumberDne It would be unfair and inappropriate to simply focus on the present administration, or the last. Patterns are nominally more informative. A greater timeframe would simply be too repetitive. Do we remember the Westminster housing scandal? That was also about protection of power, circa 1996 and followed on the earlier sex scandals of Major’s Conservatives.
@NumberDne It appears as good a place as any to use as a starting point to shine a little light into the apparent midden that masquerades as a primary government in these islands. In 1997 we had the diversion of the Bernie Ecclestone drama, more cash allegedly changing hands and right (dis)honorable gentlemen appearing mired in the mix. Yet the voters were again denied a full enquiry. The call from the Speaker’s chair was an effective “move along now – nothing to see here”.
@NumberDne Entering 1998 Monica Lewinsky did Westminster a favour by grabbing, amongst other items, most of the headlines; she still didn’t manage to completely obliterate Peter Mandelson from the news. Mr. Mandelson brought the media a seasonal gift that year – the Trade Secretary was accused of a conflict of interest in having received a £373,000 loan from Paymaster General Geoffrey Robinson, whom his department was investigating. This wasn’t to be Mr. Mandelson’s last brush with scandal.
@NumberDne Who else remembers the Conservative MEP lobbying scandal of 1999, or the fact that we were requested to step in and help bail out the Euro that year? What about Neil Kinnock’s scandalous proposal to regulate, almost censor the press? As recent events require asking; would we actually have noticed a difference?
That lobbying scandal didn’t die in 1999 – irrespective of promises to the contrary it had barely started and lobbying problems were still creating cries of scandal in 2010.
@segano1 LOL, you must be some kind of nut job if you think im gonna be bothered to read all that drivel you wrote. learn to be concise on YT you boring old fart!
@NumberDne A new millennium dawned in 2000, in the murky corridors of power and in the gentlemans clubs of England’s capital nothing much changed. Y2K came, went, with it came scandals aplenty, one almost rivalling the Cambridge 4 as Britain was asked how it could continue to trust the Commission trade if a senior official (ranking fourth in the organizational tree of Peter Mandelson’s department) was accused of handing secrets to journalists posing as lobbyists working for Chinese businessmen?
@NumberDne Officially the 21st Century opened in 2001, it proved to be the year the pigeons really came home to roost for Dame Shirley Porter in a scandal to reach the upper echelons of the Conservative party by 2003. Dame Shirley was issued a £26 million bill the following year.
That was arguably eclipsed by Sinn Fein being cleared to collect expenses from a Parliament they weren’t attending, prompting David Cameron in a more recent statement. “We’ve got to clean up the Westminster Parliament"
@NumberDne I could go on & on, but I wont be posting to much at once here.
Point is, Westminster corrupt & equally as rancid as the union in certain terms, its more rotton to the core.
This is a Scottish anthem, OUR anthem, not the English one so how on earth can you identify with it?
As the lyrics say (in reference to throwing England out of Scotland long ago with two victorious wars) "Those days are past now, in in the past they must remain, but why can still rise now, and be the nation again"
@segano1 You favourite word seems to be 'rancid,' I guess you can probably identify with that word as it seems to roll off your tongue so much. And yes those days are past now. 1300s war and bickering is over, unity reigns on this island now, and we are stronger for it. One of only five countries with a permanent seat in the United Nations security council. Third richest major major country behind the USA and just behind Germany. We do well thank you very much. Long live the UK.
Omg I'm friends with this kid called Sean Grantham and his uncle had an affair with Scott brown the gay hibee wanker and then he fucked Callum walker up the arse
was away 2 say about the capacity but there is no need 4 the nazi comment mate if ur scottish ur bigger than that i would expect that from an english bigot not a fellow scotsman
@Drjimbillybob i wis behind mcgregors goal fur the anthems aswelll nd near enuf enerybody wis booing but it wis only because it wis god save the queen any other anthem and wee wid hiv been fine lol :P
Anyone who says scotland boo other teams anthems are retards pure and simple, during the italian anthemn, the fans were actually whistling along and clapping along with the italian anthemn as its so catchy, I think tv and media are out to get at us at hampden, example being at hampden on tuesday there I saw the whole stadium myself included applaud the liechtenstein anthem though boo's could be heard you couldnt see a single person doing it, its a set up to ruin the tartan armys reputation
listen to the brilliance man outstanding and scotland dont boo apart fae god save the queen so get it up yae who ever said scotland were booing and i was there faggot nut! ohhh aye a must add am a gers fan.
@taylormadetour . your the fool . scotland always boo the opposition. they were booing before the song started. a large minority. tv producer raised the volume of the italian anthem to drown it out. i live beside hampden . i can tell booing when i hear it.
@kilomeister Dont care what you say scotland never boo the oppositions national anthem. I have been going to the games for years and scotland fans have had countless awards from fifa and uefa for having the best fans
Scotland should of beaten Italy regardless, and don't make me bring up the fact the Chiellini was a demo of Italians - DIVING - Fa ntastic at it. And I thank them for screwing Scotland over. Yes I did watch the game and was disappointed by yet again, the opposition cheating. Barry was offside by a SMALL margin but if you're going to give a goal away in the dying minutes to destroy a teams hopes, it's disgusting. End of, we were cheated.
Did you not watch that game then? Alan Hutton was on the left back position shielding the ball, he was brought down, and MIRACULOUSLY the foul was given again him AND THE FREE KICK YOU SCORED FROM. Now tell me that isn't worth complaining about. Fud.
Did you watch the game? Italy scored a goal that was incorrectly disallowed for an offside, and, lest we forget, Scotland's goal actually WAS offside! I agree that the corner should never have been given (Chiellini certainly wasn't fouled), but Italy should have won the game anyways. I'd just like to say, though, that Scotland played very well and I hope to see them in the next World Cup. I understand the frustration, but it's no excuse for having a highly selective memory of the game.
Just Fuck Italy. It's always the same thing. Referee give a penalty kick against Australia in the World Cup 2006 in Germany) or a fucking imaginary free kick and save Italy of the elimination. Italy is the shame of football. Scotland plays with their heart and Italy plays with referees.
Que bello himno sin duda uno de los mejores que hay, quisiera aprender la letra ya que tambien es uno de los pocos que (en lo personal) te llegan y quieres cantarlo. Un gran himno para un gran pais como lo es escocia. Saludos desde Mexico.
