A MINUTES SILENCE FOR THE FALLEN

The teams are coming out.

The Both Team Players are listed in my earlier post of 10 Nov 2017 00:51

No detailed commentary from me today. But I will be cheering for Bonny Scotland :-)

Hi everyone, good to see you Jem. Being half Scot I will be cheering for Scotland.
Don't have Sky so can only watch BBC games <3 :-)

If any of you Scots are watching .... here's your great Anthem for the Sing-A-Long :-)

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND

Verse 1:

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Verse 2:

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Verse 3:

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again


Only Verses 1 and 3 are sung at games
