Some ridiculous shit too. Some videos of guys walking down the street singing anti-independence songs, one some guys ripping a Scotland flag out of a crying teenage girl's hands.
I always thought "Why are people bringing British flags to Rangers games? Aren't us Scottish people inherently against Britain?" but I guess I was wrong. People go so wrapped up in some pseudo political shit that they voted no. It's funny cause I think you'd struggle to find a western country that had a major shift as a result of a political change.
Ireland fought tooth and nail for it's independence, most of Scotland voted it away. I had to deal with lads in Ireland joking that Scotland "lost" the vote. Embarrassment. The one plus side is Glasgow and everywhere around the area voted Yes. As a result, it only reaffirms my hated of anywhere else in Scotland.
In the immortal words of Groundskeeper Willie, "Brothers and sisters are natural enemies, like Englishmen and Scots, or Welsh and Scots, or the Japanese and Scots, and Scots and other Scots. Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland".
