Scotland v England, World Cup Qualifying 10th June 17:00

[Leo]

Quite to the contrary, given the attitudes towards religion in this country I'd say singing GSTQ is the very definition of living in the past. Asking a deity people no longer worship to save a figurehead of an irrelevant medieval institution from a Scottish invasion - you genuinely couldn't make it up.

I imagine very few Rangers fans know about the existence of the other verse because they are ignorant fools. Again, not news to anyone who lives in Scotland. To know about it, and still sing it, demonstrates rather pitiful self loathing.

Er, really? Despite the fact that English flags are displayed at Ibrox on a regular basis and there are Rangers supporters clubs in England? It is the English team in Scotland - very much like Celtic are the Irish team. To reiterate you will find very few Old Firm fans supporting Scotland, but it's somewhat amusing to see them accuse someone else of living in the past. You should tell the people flying those 'Battle of the Boyne' banners at your club, every week.

What a total fool you make of yourself with some of your replies. It must really irk you that with Scotland still being part of the UK that God save the Queen is officially our national anthem. Irrespective of your views on it and religion, which remember does not represent everyone albeit you seem to think you do with your haughty, idealistic attitude, it still is. Remember that. It doesn't require being made up...it is fact.

Only a very 'imaginative', ignorant person could come away with a statement like that (2nd para)....you really are a loathful, desperate wee man. You dislike Rangers, I get that but try posting and leaving your hatred behind (I can understand that will be difficult mind you)....however having seen some of your pitiful attempts at one upmanship previously I doubt you can....poor show again from you! The reason it is sung is because the Rangers support are proudly British....NOT English. To call people ignorant fools because they are unaware of something is, well.....it shows you up to be ignorant to the facts.

Regards that idiotic 3rd para - Yes really. Only a xenophobe like you could come away with something as laughable as that. How often do you attend Ibrox to be able to ascertain the number of England flags and of course there are Rangers supporters clubs in England, as there are for many Scottish premiership clubs...why, even St Mirren have one in London. How often have you seen Battle of the Boyne banners flown at Ibrox.....Actually how often do you attend Rangers games?

Btw....most Scottish Premiership clubs also have supporter clubs abroad....life's a bitch at times eh?

Here ye go....might not fit in with your anti Rangers agenda mind.....

I'm certainly not getting involved in responding to that nonsense, however, I should point out not being aware of something is the very definition of ignorance.

Which makes the below statement rather amusing.

I certainly don't give a monkey's chuff whether you respond or not....you've been shown up once again to be lacking....

Here you go it may help in your day to day life....
