Should be our anthem seeing as though England didn't want Doncaster back.
-
Shit anthem written to celebrate Scotlands one and only Battlefield victory over the English, they’ve being paying for it ever since lol!
-
Anthem?
It's a modern folk song!
-
They are sprouting weeds at Hamden tonight though and a few weeping willows in the crowd at the end no doubt.

I think they won 4/5 out of 20, Loudon Hill,Stirling Bridge, Bannock urn and a couple more !

Don't football league clubs have anthems?

My favourite Jock was Robert the Bruce,a top bloke, he captured Marmaduke deThweng at Bannockburn, treated him to a Royal Dinner gave him a horse and free passage back to Yorkshire! Edward the First would have been far less conciliatory with a captured Foe!

Way better than England’s dirge, both the song and the way it’s belted out. I’ve never been to Hampden but hearing it at Murrayfield is something else.
-
Yep, got to agree they sing better than us, could be the drugs and whiskey.
-
Flower of Scotland is a terrific anthem and makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Our dirge is enough to put anyone to sleep and half our team don't appear to know the words either. Why we don't have our own "English" national anthem I have never understood.

Scotch Whisky and Irish Whiskey.

Pretty much every national anthem in the world stirs the blood apart from our dirge.
-
I do like Flower of Scotland.
The French and Italian anthems are the best.
-
We should have Land Of Hope And Glory as our national anthem.

Not Brazils though...
Der der de diddle diddle diddle dee der... Etc.

I'll tell you a story about the effect that Land Of Hope And Glory has on people. During the Falklands war, I was the LASER operator at Camelots pub in Wood Street, Doncaster. My duties also included selecting the music, so I suppose you could say DJ, but for the fact that there was no mic for talking to the audience!
Anyway, there I was sitting in front of the old organ pipes above the bar, and at the end of each night during the Falklands conflict, I signed off with L.O.H.A.G. Now, bearing in mind how young the clientele was on average in the place, the emotional expression on those young faces, and their vocal contributions to the song was a joy to behold, and the intense emotion the song provided has stuck with me since.
The only problem was getting the buggers out after it'd finished!

Nowt to do with the barrel of ale most had supped!!

Perhaps not unlike many of the England fans at games!

Good to see their English lads in their team singing it too. Becoming Ireland for England's not wanted players.

France and Italy great
Austria goes on forever and ever especially when Red Bull win at F1 and should be shortened on Podium
Lichtenstein has same tune as our dirge
Spanish is a great tune but didn't know it had no words till very recently
Our supposed Anthem once had the words "rebellious Scots to crush". No wonder they don't like it
-
Jerusalem is the perfect choice for England's anthem.
Spine tingling

You should have put Duran Duran on. That would have done the trick BB.

A proper stirring anthem, God save the King is painful! Who wants to sing about the Royals apart from Daily Mail reader types!
-
I don’t read the Daily Mail and I sing it

I'm sure (maybe not in my lifetime) we will rejoin the EU (threads elsewhere)
I'm sure (again not in my lifetime) that we will become a Republic and will no longer need God save our gracious **** as our Anthem
Chance for a new 'un at that point. Pick a good 'un folks
-
Should be Tubthumping by Chumbawumba imo.
-
Land of my Fathers - the Welsh anthem is spine tingling.
Used to work on the bars at the Millenium stadium and hearing a packed crowd sing that made me emotional, even though there’s not an ounce of Welsh in me.
-
I'll tell you a story.... During the Falklands war, I was the LASER operator....
Has to be said Mr Bullet, as interesting as it turned out, I felt more than a little let down by what followed in your story :laugh:

Plenty of English lads singing it in Hampden Park yesterday mate.
-
Plenty of English lads singing the Scottish anthem too. In their starting line up....
-
We should have Land Of Hope And Glory as our national anthem.
Nah, Jerusalem should be England's anthem!

I'd ignore Jerusalem as much as I do God Save The King.
I'd go for something secular and non-royal, such as this one

-
excellent music 'Jerusalem', but absolute nonsense lyrics. William Blake seemed to believe that , somehow, london had been built over Jerusalem
-
It seems that a lot of people would like a new anthem with lyrics befitting modern England.
I don't know how that's possible. I can't imagine an anthem being written that includes vicious dogs, guns, knives, drugs, paedophilia, and foul-mouthed violent women.

"If you tolerate this..." by the Manics :laugh: should be our anthem. It applies to all English walks of life :silly: the government screwing everyone over, the police no longer solving crime, the scummies who think growing weed and sitting on the dole is a life, gun gangs, etc

Blimey Steve - That's a pretty negative view of life! There are many, many more decent people in the country than not. Trust me mate, you don't have to go far to find them. My estate in deepest, darkest Sarf London looks terrible on the face of it and every time I read something about it in the local rag its negative. Whilst there are a few problem families, the vast majority are very decent people of all ages, colours and religions. I think that sums up the country as a whole.

I'd write the verse on miserable pensioners.
-
What about Vindaloo?
It's anthemic.
It reflects the country we live in.
It has aspirations for England to face all the challenges the rest of the world can muster, secure in the belief that we'll come out on top.
And it doesn't plead for some supernatural being to protect the distant relative of whichever gang of thugs was successful enough to dominate society a thousand years ago.

You do plenty of moaning yourself, BST, about things that don't suit your agenda.
If you're OK with the things I've mentioned, or are delusional enough to deny they're happening, then knock yourself out.
-
I'm more optimistic about our country SS. I know those things exist. But I don't think they define us, any more than a minority of moaning pensioners do.

You didn't sound optimistic when going on all the time about Brexit, the Tories, Johnson, and even Corbyn, when you went off on a hissy fit about him on the night of the GE.
Glass houses and all that.
-
BST, I'm sure if you checked out the stats you'd realise that on this forum the vast majority of moaning pensioners are Labour supporters whining about the type of problems that SS mentioned, and blaming the Tories for them.
-
Ann Widdecombe would probably snot you Steve
-
I reckon she'd rather snot someone who can't respond to the subject so attempts to divert it.
-
I reckon total inclusion and educating people about discrimination including the casual discrimination of women that works against the hard work put in is what Club Doncaster is all about and has been awarded for doing so.

Anyone in particular, Billy?

Same. England's is lamentable
-
If DGS means anything to any of you, you might remember the old School Song. It was all in Latin and I don’t think it mentioned Doncaster or Danum for that matter! But we do have some Roman history pre-dating the Treaty of Durham.
Anyway the point is that it did have quite a stirring tune and was a bit different from the standard “Jerusalem” with its rather fanciful “lyrics”. Far too elitist for today’s world though I suppose, let alone the modern football fan!

No-one. But on average, they ARE a bit miserable and pessimistic.
-
Back on topic, I've no Welsh connections whatsoever, but their anthem goes straight through my soul. The best in the world IMO.
However, the Rugby World Cup managed to make a b*ll*cks of it, as they have every anthem.
-
Sorry, but despite never supporting Scotland in anything, i love their “ flower of Scotland” anthem.
Our English anthem is painful.
-
I don’t want to ‘save our gracious king’, I want to stick him in a two bedroom terrace in the centre of Blackburn.

As a past reservist and thankfully never required to go to war unlike many of our brave lads past and present i know who i would sooner go into battle with, a Scotsman every time never mind the anthem.
