[Football] Is anyone else embarrassed by the booing of the German national anthem

[atfc village]

Hampden park 1987 the Scots wouldn't even play GSTQ and that day the Scottish anthem was Scotland the Brave,now that's rude .

I don't like it because, as much as it may seem like pantomime, there is no need for it. I find it a little embarrassing.

I been having a long conversation with a German friend tonight who said the following:

'The English team is really likeable, they play nice football, and they've come a long way. A commentator on German TV said he's happy for them, after all the attacks they had to endure in recent times. It would be really easy (to support them now), if it wasn't for the nationalistic horribleness that surrounded tonight's match. According to the British gutter press, the National team went to war against Germany tonight...'

This is a real summary for me of why I find all this shit cringe worthy.

A German friend is unhappy tonight ? Well, that’s not unexpected. I would be unhappy if we lost and having a dig at the home support is par for the course under those circumstances. Bit of a cheap shot though. I thought the home support was outstanding.

Great result tonight, but the booing and disrespect of the oppositions national anthem I find absolutely embarrassing.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

No.

Want to see childishness? European nations never giving the UK a point in Eurovision.

Tonight wasn't a (lack of) talent competition, though.bAnd there is a difference between nul pointes and actual booing.

I thought the booing was a bit wanky, but I wasn't really bothered. The whole world already knows about 'the English football hooligan' and it's twattish ways.

I was heartened however by the relative failure of the wankers to make much impression with their booing of the knee taking. Drowned out

But I suspect there are some weirdos who would rather see England knocked out than go on and win the tournament, with the knee relentlessly taken, and it noted as a thing. Now that is the attitude of unpatriotic scum

 

[Icy Gull]

Spot on.

Bizarre as it sounds I kind of expect it from and against the Scots and Welsh, but not from England when it’s other countries in the world.

Hypocrite that I am, but I wouldn’t join in

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Spot on.

It just makes us like a small country. Apart from home nations doing it to one another, I don't think anyone else routinely does it

 

[BN9 BHA]

Not bothered and definitely not embarrassed.

 

[GrizzlingGammon]

To be honest, the English national anthem is dull as ****.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It is embarrassing and outdated. Plus it is only going to fire up the opposition more.

And what do you know about football?

Oh, hang on.....

 

[Butch Willykins]

Not bothered and definitely not embarrassed.

This.

 

[Sheebo]

Dwell on a negative = typical certain English - always need some negative to moan about

Ps - no I don’t boo an anthem ever but I think it’s been a case of retaliation sometimes. But really… it happens a lot in all sorts of countries ffs.

 

[SK1NT]

And what do you know about football?

Oh, hang on.....

Let's hope i can keep it up

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

It is totally pathetic but what do you expect of the moronic *****? They still sing about the wars and IRA too.

Even heard a few sing ‘no surrender’ as part of the anthem - surely racist or some sort of PC wrong singing… or making a stand against evil terrorists

 

[stewart_weir]

Yes. Luckily it didn’t effect outcome but our players must have thought what absolute bellends those who booed are

I knew it was coming and the North Stand Knitting Circle would be out in force tonight. I enjoyed it so much I'm still booing now. My wife brought me a cup of tea in and I booooood her out the room. I'll still be booing in my sleep tonight. Booooooooo!

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

DF? Are you now signing off a Das Fairy?

Which is intriguing really as ‘das’ in German refers to a noun that is neither masculine nor feminine. Seems ppf self identifies as a neutered fairy….

 

[essbee1]

The thing is that by booing the anthem, we give the opposition strength. Be respectful ffs and show your as good morally.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

No.

Want to see childishness? European nations never giving the UK a point in Eurovision.

Never? I think you’re very wrong. We’ve won it 5 times, and been runner up 15 times. It would help if we actually had some decent songs.
