I spent a lot of time in Scotland in the 70s/ early 80s and FOS was sung every where. Most boozy nights in various pubs in Scotland would end with a bad rendition of it sung by pissed up Jocks.
Jerusalem is certainly an improvement on GSTK, but, it doesn’t exactly stir the blood and get the juices flowing, does it.
When you think that Flower of Scotland was only written in the 60s it is everything you’d want in an anthem.
I used to drink in the Wee Club in Inverkething on a Sunday...
I hate to say it, but, why don’t we have a national anthem like Flower of Scotland.
It’s inclusive, every Jock can sing it, and it sounds bloody awesome.
I make no bones, I hate our anthem, I never sing it, I would love an anthem I could sing and be proud to sing.
My daughter went last night, I think she’s seen Miss Swift 3-4 times before, said it was the best ever.
She has a dilemma now, she has a ticket in August, but it’s a standing ticket and she will be very pregnant by then. I think her husband has persuaded her to sell it, it’s not worth the risk...
When he took off TAA, which obviously wasn’t working, why did he bring on Gallagher, another defensive midfielder. Why not bring on another creative player, Palmer, Eze, Gordon, all could have made a difference. Denmark played one up front, we had 2 cbs and 2 defensive midfielders marking him...

Unfortunately, before the...
I knew Horace quite well back in the day.
Mrs LLF used to work with him, and do his shopping for him.
Quite normal when not in his going out gear, probably a bit more flamboyant than most but, a decent enough bloke.
Ex-Royal Navy, friend of Dorothys,he attended our wedding , and although we...
Don’t buy into this divisive nonsense.
We are one county, divide by jealous inferior counties( yes, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire, I am looking at you)
We are Sussex, one county one people, one glorious history.
Let our watchword be,
Sussex United should never be divided.
Personally, I really don’t mind my tax going up.
