National Anthem

[BertRoot]

Depressing when I hear it at the start of a match. Sounds like a fucking dirge. The Italian anthem sounded better than ours last night.

Think we should give it Oakenfold for a remix.

[GhettoMoose]

Agreed our NA Sucks

Fuck the Monarchy!

Didn't the netherlands use a Smirfs Theme Tune back in '98 ?

We deffo need a new one.

"god save out queen"

FFS

"God" - there is None
"save our" - how the fucks he gonna do that he dont exist
"queen" - great band!!!

I thought the Jamaican anthem (from the friendly match) was ace,lol!

[burner1]

Would rather hear the lads sing vindaloo..more inspiring that's for sure.

[bt2k1]

Yeah should of got Three Lions at the start of a match get every1 pumped up instead of the "God Save The Queen" which is shite and nobody knows the words so shows how much most of the nation care!!

[Donny Doyle]

Yeah I must admit your anthem is a bit pants. What about Jerusalem as an anthem?

[God is a DJ]

Yeah I must admit your anthem is a bit pants. What about Jerusalem as an anthem?

was just about to suggest that, would get the crowd going a lot more than mumbling god save the queen

Shockingly enough the Nation Anthem isn't just about football.

I'm going to have you all arrested for treason

[tombott]

i personally find the national anthem very rousing, but can see how some people find it dull.

[Little John]

Yeah its not the greatest song ever but it sounds great when your in a stadium and everyone is singing along far better than any one elses.

What does annoy me is when they go down the line and some of the players dont even try to sing Gary Nevile and David James never sing, being is the position they are they should take pride in the anthem and at least move their lips and make it look like they are doing somthing.

FYI there are more than the 1 verse that everybody sings but none ever hears them so no body knows them, I cant remember them.

[GhettoMoose]

I mean common, what the fuck is this about!!!



God Save the Queen

God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,

Happy and Glorious,

Long to reign over us;

God save the Queen!



O Lord our God arise,

Scatter her enemies

And make them fall;

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix,

Oh, save us all!



Thy choicest gifts in store

On her be pleased to pour;

Long may she reign;

May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice,

God save the Queen!

[Shambles]

I never knew those lyrics.

What a pile of utter shite

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

Utter bollox

[maverick_15]

i knew the first and third but not the second, odd.

[Cenus_]

Traitors!

THis is ?

Original

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.


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


Those days are past 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.


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.

[maverick_15]

personally i think the best sounding anthem of the home nations as it stands is irelands call.

[New Art Riot]

the sex pistols version is better

[DelTrotter]

always thought Rule Brittannia should be our national anthem . brazilians is my personal fave how can you not be pumped up after hearing that.

The french national anthem Lyrics are very strong and sounds awesome

[pmat]

Yes, Ireland's is great but there's nowt to get the juices flowing (and the hairs on the back of your neck up) when you are at the Millenium Stadium and Wales are playing England in the 6 Nations and Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (The Land Of My Fathers) is being belted out. Fucking great....even the English would agree. It was great even when we knew we'd get dicked.
