    Back in the day when the SNP was a party for independence , before the '79 group hijacked it , this song was regarded as the National Anthem and  sung as such at Party events . .
    . .of course the words are credited to one of the most famous Scotsmen of all time. .
     
    Here's a wee bit fae Wiki ;  "Scots Wha Hae" (English: Scots, Who Have; Scottish Gaelic: Brosnachadh Bhruis) is a patriotic song of Scotland written using both words of the Scots language and English, which served for centuries as an unofficial national anthem of the country, but has lately been largely supplanted by "Scotland the Brave" and "Flower of Scotland".

    This is one that many of us would have been taught at school , therefore should be familiar to us. .

    I always thought he was a good player and then he scored that blinder of a goal against that now defunct club but who started this thread and what right do they have etc when there must be another Mooy thread somewhere blah blah blah etc. . it was an important goal that served to provide the best Saint Mirren Christmas Eve in decades. .

    Going back a few years to Love Street I thought there was  much more humour and many more songs sung on the terraces.

    Every time I see an old photo of Paisley I fantasize of walking down that street looking and listening to conversations.  What would you rather do if you had the choice, go back in time or go into the future?

    Killie are at home playing on a shite surface which they are used to. It give all teams with an artificial surface an advantage. 
    Cant compare our performance today with Killie's first half one.

    Think the disappointing thing about today’s performance was that we didn’t really compete. Consistently gave the ball away cheaply and stood off Rangers all day. To be honest we got off lightly with a 3-0 as could easily have been 5 or 6.
    Not looking forward to Wednesday as it will be more of the same no doubt 🥺

    Dunno , Paisley just seems empty now compared to back then , it is almost deserted even at the weekends and one can only assume that buddies go elsewhere for a night out. .

    I agree. The law shouldn't be used to prosecute people for bad manners. I don't think somebody should ever be prosecuted for something they say. Harassment and intimidation are another matter, but not the spoken word.

    More than 70,000 children, including nearly 2,000 of primary-school age, were prescribed antidepressants in England last year.
    The pills were handed out in large numbers despite warnings that they may harm developing brains for little benefit.
      Antidepressants rarely work in children, according to experts, with one saying that doctors were “medicalising adolescence”.
     
    NHS figures released to The Times show that one in six adults in England – 7.3m – used antidepressants last year – a rise of almost half a million in three years.
      And as the number of prescriptions is rising, after more than doubling in a decade, antidepressants are increasingly becoming a long-term support among the population.
    Some 1,844 children aged under 10 are taking the drugs, the figures show.
    And more than half a million people aged 18-24 were given antidepressants last year, 11 per cent of the age group.
    But the over-60s are twice as likely as those in their twenties to be on the drugs.
    There are also big regional variations, with places such as Blackpool and Great Yarmouth showing high usage – one in five people – whereas in London it is fewer than one in 10.
    Mental-health campaigners say access to other treatments, such as “talking therapies”, should be made more widely and easily available as a first resort.
      Andrea Cipriani, a psychiatrist at Oxford University, told the paper: “These are very, very high figures.
    “People are prescribing antidepressants to those who don’t really need them, who have low mood.
    “It’s important people are aware that antidepressants aren’t a quick fix.”
    He added: “We should be careful of prescribing antidepressants to the developing brain. We don’t know the long-term consequences.”
    In 2016 a review by Dr Cipriani found most antidepressants did not help children and teenagers with serious mental-health problems and some could even be unsafe.
    The review of evidence from 34 trials found that of 14 such drugs, only one, Prozac, was better than a placebo at treating young people with major depression. Another drug, venlafaxine, was associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts.
    But his study concluded that the real effectiveness and safety of antidepressants for children and teenagers was unclear because of the poor design and selective reporting of trials, mostly funded by drug companies.
      Dr Cipriani said that “nowadays the risk is medicalising adolescence” with drugs.
    A high number were prescribed in south Lincolnshire, the figures showed. “It’s difficult to justify. There must be something wrong,” he said.
    The figures were obtained under freedom of information laws from the NHS business services authority.

    I used to work with a guy years ago called Davey , who would wait til we were in a meeting with management and then say something like , " That is a violation of my basic human rights " . The manager would just go quiet and I thought that Davey had quoted some European thing . . 
    It was only recently that I found out that it actually dates back to 1948 when the Human Rights charter was declared at the UN and signed up to by the UK.  Article 29 is interesting as it actually makes it everyone's responsibility to tell others of their rights. .
