The song is all about independence for Gods sake.<br /><br />I still support the teams but I see them as side shows nowadays. For some Britscots the football and rugby are swapped for nationhood. They waive the Saltire for 80mins but would never have one on their car, as that would make folk think they really meant it.<br /> November13https://www.blogger.com/profile/03249463580152897462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-73049326820909398302016-02-07T20:51:04.425+00:002016-02-07T20:51:04.425+00:00I take no interest in Scotland rugby or football m...I take no interest in Scotland rugby or football matches nowadays. The sight of thousands of Britnats singing a song written by two SNP supporters is just too much hypocrisy for me.

After the first seventy-nine times, I eventually gave an audible indication of displeasure, and when she carried on doing it after that I began to wonder if it was deliberate. There was also a chap behind me giving an incredibly smug running commentary on the game (come back, Nick Mullins, all is forgiven).
