of two British teams playing each other in a match and the UK national anthem being used for one of them, but the Scots have their own.

Why does the England team appropriate the British national anthem?

Why on earth is this still happening?

England uses Jerusalem for the Commonwealth Games, why can't it use it for other occasions too?

Now the Basques do have an issue with the Spanish Anthem, and do Holland dominant Netherlands, if there was ever a point to be maid in this area then Macedonia had to change their name, never mind their anthem.
And more and more...
Stop being anti English for the sake of it.

@ClareBlue I absolutely respect one half of the country are unionists and don't care, but you have to recognise it was written in 1745 and the reason it was written. 'Unionists' have every right to their opinion, and their songs, but surely Scottish people (regardless of their political views) have a right to not have their national anthem refer to the crushing of rebellious Scots?

Like yeah some women might not care if other women call them sluts, but since some women do care...?

There's also the fact some people don't believe in God, or the monarchy, but that's not specific to Scotland or unionism that applies to people across the country.

Don't see what's embarrassing about it.
