Anthem Angst
After some Scotland fans booed "God Save The Queen" before Wednesday evening's soccer friendly against Northern Ireland, the two main unionist parties are falling out over the anthem. The DUP's Edwin Poots has accused the UUP's Basil McCrea of demonstrating "anaemic" unionism, by suggesting that the NI team could do with something else. Former Minister Poots calls the UUP a "blue-tinged centrist grouping without Unionist principles or convictions." So this reads like an extension of the DUP's assault on the UUP-Tory alliance.
So far as the anthem is concerned, the NI team at the Commonwealth Games uses "Danny Boy". Any suggestions out there for new anthems for the soccer team?
