Lamia Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Well I hope this sees the end to people demanding the pipes for the anthem. As I have said all along it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamia Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 It wasn't written for the pipes and they can't even play all the notes. The fans cannot sing in time and it sounded awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartansmarf Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The fans can sing in time, it's the pipes that can't keep up.... Make it the same as rugby, no help, just the fans singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveheart_lynch Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Think it was just the band out of time. Lone piper at half time was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bzzzz Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The pipes would have worked fine if it had have been backed by a heavy, upbeat drum loud enough for people to hear it and keep time with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLT NY Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 This songs an embarrassment. Not because of the words, just because nobody seems to agree on how fast it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Pipes and crowd just don't work. Was singing it at home in frontons my English wife and she was guffawing at how amature it sounded. I was a whole line fast at one point. Amy MacDonald please.

thewelk Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 A tape to get it started then just the fans. You'd think the SFA would be happy to save the band fee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It's always been a dirge. Now the second verse that gets sung is an absolute embarrassment. Either change that verse, or preferably ditch the thing all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellyman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It did not work on friday and i was hoping they would get it right last night but it was just as bad, just do it the same as the rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipped flake Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 another one just woke from a slumber down Brigadoon way..... what?? I will never sing that song again, at least not until we ever get Independence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peever1745 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Compared to Friday nights rendition this was 100 times better. It does help when the crowd arive early enough to sing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flora MaDonald Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The only time I've heard us sing it (reasonably) on time, was in Germany. Simply because the greatest musical country in the world had a band who actually kept time with the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
