  1. 1. Do you support the Scotland team?

    • I go to games
    • I'm an armchair fan
    • I couldn't care less
    • I actively dislike / hate them
  2. 2. Have you always felt this way

  3. 3. If you don't like the team, why?

    • I do like the team
    • Because it represents the SFA
    • Because of nationalism (eg SNP/Yes voters)
    • Because of the 'traitors' in the squad
    • Because I think the 'Tartan Army' hate Rangers
  4. 4. Do you think less of Rangers fans that so support Scotland

Not really sure what difference 'official' makes anyway.

Surely if it has to be respected because it's a national anthem you're really saying it's because of what it means to people from that country? Because it's sung in honour of their country? If so, then surely it doesn't matter if it's 'official' or not, if it's a national ditty it should be afforded the same respect.

For example, is it bad for Star Spangled Banner to be booed when sung, but ok for America the Beautiful to be booed? So surely if GSTQ is due respect, so is FoS?

In the context of a football game however it is and GSTQ isn't.

The national anthem in Scotland is God save the Queen.

There is no other national anthem.

You are correct in saying that the SFA adopted The Flower of Scotland in a football context, but it is not our national anthem.

But Flower of Scotland is not a National Anthem.

God Save the Queen is.

But none the less your point is valid.

This is exactly how I feel. Take you're rank religion and politics to fuck. It's the 21st century. I'm proud Scottish, I'm proud rangers.

You take yourself to fuck....

Rank religion and Politics.

You should be hung, ya roaster.
