Bagpipe ‘ban’ leaves Scots fans reeling

**kilted scholar** · 18th June 13, 04:09 AM

This report is both out of date and inaccurate.

The regulations at the new Wembley stadium ban unauthorized musical instruments of all kinds. There is no discrimination against the Scots or bagpipes since all such instruments come under this rubric.

However, the authorities at Wembley are apparently prepared to make a concession for the use of bagpipes in this particular instance. This is hardly a "vile calumny." See the following ----

Well that's me told then

. Consider my hand well and truly smacked

. Far be it from me to suggest that anything printed in "The Scotsman" is anything but a load of rubbish. Or am I perhaps missing a scintilla of over-sensitivity?

Yes, it seems to me that The Scotsman tried to sensationalise this by referring to a bagpipes ban. Reading beyond the headlines, it seems to me, that for bagpipes, as with any other musical instrument, permission needs to be applied for and may be granted for the bringing of bagpipes into Wembley stadium.

Come on now, Alex. This is all about a bit of pre-match banter. I'm surprised the 1966 World cup hasn't been mentioned yet.

I think he means the match at Wemburley that year when Scotland gubbed England. Don't know who that other crowd are.

As this thread is about football, not kilts, I am going to move it to our Misc. Section.

The beginning of the end...3-2 Scotland

I would be the first to lick the boots of Sir Robert Frederick Chelsea Moore clean. But, Law, Lennox, Wallace, Greig, Baxter, Simpson, en co got stuck in with the best of 'em. And they could throw a bit 'o handbags if need be. Just ask Billy Bremner. By the way, this image is from "Oldfootballtalk" but, I own it on one of my DVD's of the match.
