Remember watching this in a pub in Dublin after Ireland beat Wales, though I was disappointed Wales lost, everyone was roaring when Scotland beat England for the first time in years! It was incredible to watch!

@@xxxXXXCH04XXXxxx I only learned about it when scottish comedian Danny Bhoy commented that it's "the only anthem in the world to accommodate people with tourettes, which is really quite nice" lol
its about time the english get their own anthem for sport instead of just reusing the old and rather boring god save the queen something like jerusalem or the like would be mutch better but it never stood a chance in parliament as the english rugby teams thing made it clear they are content with god save the queen and wont support or go against changing it basically a good old "we dont give a shit there is no point" though i do think changing it will bring more patriotism

D G yes they are not obliged to sing it, but it's a good indication whether a player/team is there for money and personal gain only or whether they play for the jersey and what it stands for
TheBritishBulldog Complete idiot, before britain was formed God save the queen was Englands national anthem but it was the british national anthem because...... god knows
As an outsider (I'm from Denmark) I find the English melody alright as well but the lyrics are just dull. The *English* anthem should be about *England* and the *English people* , not about God and a Queen. Come on. How about going for Rule Britannia instead or something? Or maybe even Land of Hope of Glory even though that one also has a God bit in it..? I'm sure there's a lot of other songs I'm simply not aware of considering the history of England, but at least both of those songs are better than the lyrics of their current one. "God save the Queen" just seems like such a ... "Hail the Dear Leader" type of song to me. :/
Many emotions from a mid-aged HKner, I mean the first one was Hong Kong anthem before 1997, second is much much more inspiring and showing the Scots have massive pride of the beautiful bonny Scotland, my huge respect.Scotland. This match also reflects the 2000 March which Scotland slammed England s grand slam, superb.
If you are a proud Englishman then please use proper English. Scotland did really well not good. From an Irish man who is glad to correct you on the use of your own language. 😂😂😂😂
Whats great is that even when the band/musicians stop at the end of the Anthem neither the crowd nor the team do... and they carry on right to the next verse...thats PRIDE in your nation.
I was born in Italy, but my great-grandmother was of Scottish origin and every time I hear this hymn, I think of her, and of the beauty of the Scottish people
I am Scottish and l live in Italy now. Bella Italia. Scotland was always very close to ltaly....also because we hate England and asked the pope to help us all the time the nglish were bastards to us , which is all the time e.g. brexit. X
I'm an Englishman.... But the Scottish national anthem ..... is without a doubt...... the best in the world........ goose bumps every time I hear it. Well played Scotland
If it wasn't for the 2 penalty kicks that they got. The score would have been 25-7😱. I'm so proud of oor wee team❤. Bring on the Summer, Autumn, 6N 2019 and the World Cup...Come on Scotland!
@stephen taylor God save the queen is cringey as fuck. Like I give a shit about some monarchist toffs. Fuck the queen and the royals, monarchies are a dying breed and need to be abolished.
I wonder if the people who disliked this are from that place attached to Scotland and Wales? well done Scotland everyone in Wales Ireland France and Italy were cheering you.
@Sum Boi Italy , France, Scotland , England : anthems u pour a bloody beer out for The American one ( mine ) : you drink water to , ours doesn’t even come REMOTELY CLOSE
The English team was coached on the words to the first verse and chorus of “god save the Queen”. Because many of them only knew the chorus and they knew every Scottish player would be singing along, so didn’t want England looking bad because some weren’t singing… Scotland told their team not to add the “‘genst who?”, “t’ da wit?” And “expletive” in the chorus. However you can see some of the players start laughing because even though they’d been told not to, they knew what was coming from the crowd. England requested Scotland only sing the 1st verse and chorus. Was that to keep it short or because the didn’t want their crowd mumbling incoherently to the second verse or was it because it’s about putting us Scots in their place? Who knows… but Scotland agreed on the condition, we went last… Knowing full well the crowd would continue… however the Scottish team got into trouble for also continuing. Every, single, one!
da italiano dico che l inno scozzese e il piu bello al mondo ....parole fantastiche e commuovente ..lunga vita alla SCOZIA E AL SUO POPOLO LIBERO ❤️🇮🇹🏴
As a Scottish supporter it saddens me when the fans start booing (during a Scottish convention the stadium is quiet but during an English conversion the Scottish shout). Rugby is slowly turning to football with all the hugging and thrusting after points are scored and all the fighting and booing annoys me ( there was a fight before the match even started like wtf)
In normal situations I would agree with you, but there's a past between England and Scotland that a true Highlander shouldn't forget, it's in your hymn too! Anyway, congratulations and respect from Italy, Braveheart is my favorite movie and I always support Scotland against England! Alba gu brath!
As an EU citizen, from a constitutional monarchy (the Kingdom of the Netherlands) I've got mixed feelings. As an EU citizen that is convinced that the English where lied into leaving the EU, I feel deeply for the Scottish people. Who voted to remain in the UK, because of the EU. And voted to remain in the EU just a few years later. But where dragged out of the EU, screaming and kicking against their will, by the English older generation (dreaming of returning to an era of an Empire long gone) Therefore they have all the rights to break away from Westminster, obviously! Though it would sadden me deeply to see the union of the Crowns to be abolished. I would much prefer a federalisation of the UK, where there would be equality between the constituent nations that make up the United Kingdom. Which then, in due time, could find its way back into the European fold. As we, all of us Europeans, are stronger together. Let's face it, devided we would fall, in this globalized world where 1.3 billion Chinese and 1.2 billion Indians eventually will control the world? No single European nation of several (in some cases, tens of) million citizens stand a chance. Only united can we preserve our way of life. Only united could we hold on to our way of individual freedom and our collective prosperity. But that's not an outcome that I see as remotely likely, at the moment. Therefore, as a staunch monarchist myself, I sincerely hope the Scottish people preserve their link to the Crown as a commonwealth realm. As the crown functions as a link to the past and a bridge towards the future. It's an institution that supercedes the mundainity of day to day politics, which promotes national unity above all. And in the case of the most ancient and nobel British monarchy, it enspires and evokes multi national unity. It's a unique vehicle for peace, something no elected presidential head of state could ever achieve. Yes, the Crown is a relic from feudal times. But it's, most definitely, a relic we should cherrish, as we are one of the few people's that have reached the current age with such a unique and precious institution in tact. It is what makes us unique and special in this world and we should never ever cast it away lightly. As it's easily abolished in a fit of rage, but nearly impossible to restore ❤ God save the King!!!
English anthem: please God protect our granny Scottish anthem: remember when we shed our blood defending every blade of grass and sent your king home with his tail between his legs?

What victory? Today Scotland doesn't have its own king or queen, not even a president, still under queen bitch in London, England. Still has MP's in Westminster, London, England. Still uses the Bank of England's currency.
Year = 634 Location = Catterick; Result = English victory: Consequence = The first (of five) English Wars of Independence is brought to a successful conclusion. The northern border of the County of North Humberland becomes the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, and will remain so for the next four hundred years.
@@phillipwilloughby5013 exactly idiot,what could the Scottish people do when the act of union was forced upon them...What victory???? The English had numbers of 26,000 trying to get to Stirling castle,the Scots had no more than 7,000...The English heavy horse tried all day to attack the Scottish lines repelled time and time again.I am not a fan of the Bruce but the man was a better tatical leader than Wallace..By the end of the day Stirling castle was back in Scottish hands.. Edward 2nd army was beaten and in full retreat..How you can deny this victory is beyond me..Maybe try basic Scottish history Phillip...We don't want a king,we want a republic,and that means without a monarchy..Puppet kings n queens are just an oncost,ask Buckingham palace
You try spending a Scottish note down here,this is why we voted to stay in the European Union so we could switch over to the euro,but for you to say "what victory" pisses on the memory of Bannockburn..Simple as that

What victory? Today Scotland doesn't have its own king or queen, not even a president, still under queen bitch in London, England. Still has MP's in Westminster, London, England. Still uses the Bank of England's currency.
Ladies and gents we have one confused idiot

@@phillipwilloughby5013 exactly idiot,what could the Scottish people do when the act of union was forced upon them...What victory???? The English had numbers of 26,000 trying to get to Stirling castle,the Scots had no more than 7,000...The English heavy horse tried all day to attack the Scottish lines repelled time and time again.I am not a fan of the Bruce but the man was a better tatical leader than Wallace..By the end of the day Stirling castle was back in Scottish hands.. Edward 2nd army was beaten and in full retreat..How you can deny this victory is beyond me..Maybe try basic Scottish history Phillip...We don't want a king,we want a republic,and that means without a monarchy..Puppet kings n queens are just an oncost,ask Buckingham palace
You try spending a Scottish note down here,this is why we voted to stay in the European Union so we could switch over to the euro,but for you to say "what victory" pisses on the memory of Bannockburn..Simple as that
I'm still beginner of playing bagpipes and wish to play bagpipes like that lady. Cheers
Well done Scotland! You put England where they deserve to be
Scottish Anthem is the most beautiful in the world (from Georgian supporter)
Quel hymne ouah !!!! Respect 🏴🙏
Nice to see at least the Scottish rugby fans don't boo God Save The Queen.
Scotland has the right spirit, Love and Solidarity for their People to finally overcome the Covid. Nikola Sturgeon is a true Captain. Love and Respect from Tirol.
Awesome word's,same to you from a Scottish Highlander 👌
Gli scozzesi sono veramente un popolo meraviglioso, un saluto dalla Sardegna
England should sing "Jerusalem", my favourite hymn!
What’s the chant they’re saying between ‘and stood against him’ and ‘proud Edward’s army’?
