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

[Pretty pink fairy]

Embarrassing thread and an idea to why the Amex is dead most of the time it’s full of wanky seat warmers tutting at others who try to make some kind of atmosphere, England fans have jeered opposition anthems since the 70’s it’s nothing new.

No, thank ****, and I would never want to.

Why do you ask?

Because you have no national pride.....and you would never want to join the military....?? isnt it good we have people in this country willing to lay their lives on the line for the likes of you!!

wanky seat warmers booing the oppositions anthem isn't trying to make some kind of atmosphere, its just being a bit knobby.

Maybe the clue is in his user name?

A ban if he complains?

It's racist, it's tribal it's the go to default setting of someone who's angry and hate filled yet lacks the wit to comprehend why.

It's a measure of intelligence, plain and simple. If you're a student perhaps it's ironic, funny (in an ironic, hard but not hard - clearly - kind of way) like eating cheese doritos for a month to see if you turn orange ... if you're a grown up, well - you're either ignorant or a racist.

Brilliant analogy... and good all round explanation of why it’s so embarrassing to hear.

We so need to ditch GSTQ. When the Queen dies that’d be the time to do it. She’s a wonderful servant from another age and we - the English and Britons should stop singing about saving an anachronistic monarch.

Off with your head!!!

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

Football is pantomime. Some people taking it way too seriously.

This all day long.

Near enough the whole set of right wing nationalists on this thread, just need [MENTION=2719]Mouldy Boots[/MENTION] to add his own brand of intellectual comment and that’ll be a full house.

It does make the thread rather difficult to read with so many on ignore!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

You won't.

Out of interest how many years have England been booing the national anthem of the opposition??

Since i was going i remember it in the late 80s early 90s so what's the problem now then??

I’ve been to England games at Wembley and it doesn’t always happen. For the record, I’ve always spoken out against the disrespect.

When she dies it will change anyway.

I honestly think football isn’t for 80% of this board at times, getting upset about fans booing the opposition at a football match ffs

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Duplicate.

Yes, the borders are entirely conceived by people. There is nothing really that determines what they are, other than historical events that resulted in their imagining in the first place, and the political and economic incentives to persist with them.

Nothing really separates a German and an Englishman, other than language. We are incredibly similar peoples to such a degree that we can barely be differentiated.

So why the **** anyone would get offended by a national anthem being booed is beyond me.

Yet you admire North Korea.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Every English fan at that match should be refused future tickets.

Yes, their tickets should be given to all the bobble hatters on here so they can sit and enjoy the game in peace, clap the away attendance and scream for a policeman if someone gets too nationalistic at an England game.

I would imagine the majority that have spoken out against the booing aren’t “upset” by it, but just feel it’s a bit sad, infantile and embarrassing - however, that is just my feeling, so maybe they are all really upset!

 

[clapham_gull]

I'm not embarrassed, they simply embarrass themselves alongside the thick as mince racist minority.

All countries have them, they are nothing to do with me.

 

[The Clamp]

While I don't agree with booing a national anthem, there's two national sides I never get too upset if they get a dig in the ribs and that's Germany and The Argies.

One of the most tolerant countries in Europe, if not the world, too, comparatively speaking. Brexit or no Brexit.

Hard to say that when Brexit was so deeply rooted in xenophobia. That doesn't scream tolerance to me.
