The Auld Alliance
By Talisker

The Deil can tak yer Auld Alliance!

An’ Gaul a doze o’ Scots defiance!

T’was ay tae sleekit France’s gain ,

An’ whit help did the Scots git? Nane!

Sae sup yer ain foul medicine!

An’ watch ye ilka Scotsman grin,

Frae lug tae lug the hail warld ower,

An’ ilka Frenchman’s froggy glower!

Viera, Thuram and Henri,

Pit ilk tae the Scots sword wi glee.

At Hampden Park the battle’s won,

So now we’re set tae hae some fun!

An’ yin thing mair tae ease yer pain,

At least ye’ mak some fine champagne!

 

Pop! Pop! Pop! Votre Santé!

Always a thrill to stuff one up the French - in a sporting sense of course. 
 
Nice one Oli. 
 
All the best,

This is funny. I could barely understand half of it, but it's still funny. Don't know much about football either and care even less, but I still laughed.  
Good Review

Witzl's comments are as funny as the poem. 
 
And what a fantastic result!
