Booing The German National Anthem. Woudya?

[paulsmithscarf]

I bet some of our fans will disgraced this nation tonight by BOOING the German national anthem.

Would you boo their N.A if you wre there? I actually like the Germans and go to Germany quite regulary on missionary work - teaching them style and class.

I wouldn't boo any national anthem; sheer bad manners.

I'll be there tonight, and wouldn't even consider booing their NA, or any other country's.

But you know its going to happen. I have been to the last few engvGerm gamesa and it always does.

Of course there will be, there will always be a minority who will do this type of thing.
One way to stop it really is if the majority learn the words to the German National Athem and drown out the boo-ers.

I actually like their anthem.

Never happens in rugby, i'm going tonight and wouldn't consider it!

Yes it will get boo-ed,

But, I agree with the posts above, I would never boo another anthem myself.

I always like to think of it as the Michael Schumacher song instead of the German National anthem.

There you go....

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach laßt uns alle streben
brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes,
blühe, deutsches Vaterland.


It's a nice idea but not one that will catch on

Never ever - in fact I've gone as far as to smack someone over the back of the head for doing it previously....there is absolutley no level or reasoning on which booing another countrys national anthem before playing a game with them works....it simply shows that you are lacking in braincells...

 

[Napper]

Jeez , Yes boo and whistle it. They would do it to us . Disrespect them as much as possible

En-ger-land

when we played Ecuador in 2nd round of the world cup, the germans booed our national anthem, they then kept singing Lucas Podolski and other german chants during our game.

We went 1-0 up, and they sung louder, then the England fans sung "5-1 and even Heskey scored" and they all shut up

I don't boo opposing teams national anthems, ever; although I'm tempted to boo the shitfest we claim as a "rugby anthem" in Belfast on Friday... although I actually won't.

Yeah, that's bollocks that is. However, Amhrán na bhFiann is not much better.

But then, how many national anthems are any good? La Marseillaise certainly is, Mae hen wlad fy nhadau is rousing and I rather like Italy's jaunty tune but most of them are utter dirges.

 

[Nemesis]

Booing an anthem shows lack of respect and lack of class and remember that our morons aren't the only ones to boo another nation's anthem.

Easiest way around this is to stop playing them......

 

[Robot Chicken]

Maybe we should set fire to their flag as well, just to make the point, like.

that would be brilliant

 

[MattBackHome]

Its a good tune - so no. And it's more than a bit rude as well.

 

[Icy Gull]

Hearing England fans booing anyone's National Anthem makes me cringe, that'll be most England games then. Say what you like about rugby, I've yet to hear another team's anthem booed by England fans. Why's that then??

 

[butchy]

blimey.....national anthems will always be booed....personally i think it adds to the atmosphere of a game and fires the players up if they know they are entering a 'cauldron of hate'
