sure, thats fair and i dont know why bother for this game when no other club games have it (Cup finals). once an anthem is playing though, we should politelty accept it, remain quiet. once you're saying its ok to boo one, all are up for vocal distruption, and then we have the booing the knee or any other pre-game ritual.
Why is Thatcher relevant? That was decades ago. The world has moved on.

The romanticism and sympathy for the inhabitants of Merseyside are part of the cause of things like the Brighton Kop
You can always rely on a scouser to let you down eventually.
I don’t sing the NA because I don’t believe in God and I want the monarchy abolished. However, it’s a nice atmosphere builder for a game.
I don’t really see the correlation and don’t agree that we should politely accept the National anthem.
Taking the knees and national anthems are different events with very different backgrounds and conitations. While I have no issue with booing the national anthem I’d be embarrassed if a mate of mine booed taking the knee.
We know why taking the knee takes place and with the issues of race in football it would be appalling to disrespect that event imo.
Booing a song about god saving one entitled woman at a football game which she never attends or gives a fig about is fine in my book as it simply seems out of place at best and totally archaic and backwards at worst.
As the camera scanned the stands I saw people singing their own songs, booing, talking to their mates, ignoring it etc. didn’t see many singing along. The masses spoke and it suggests to me that it’s time to get rid.
Yes because we have a terrible "national" anthem, only sung by convention at England games because England hasn't got one.
It isn't even about the country, it's a depressing dirge about God saving the Monarch more akin to something sang in North Korea.
You should read the second verse, so embarrassing we don't even bother to sing it.
I have heard it all now - football fans expected to have a sense of etiquette. Perhaps they should be required to say grace before they chuck a burger down their throats. Load of pompous nonsense.
I don’t sing the NA because I don’t believe in God and I want the monarchy abolished. However, it’s a nice atmosphere builder for a game.
It’s not an international match so why does the anthem need to be sung at all?
I hate this modern idea of a soprano belting out the anthem in any case. It’s for everyone to sing, not a warbler.
Bring back the brass/silver band.
I am enjoying England using "Jerusalem" in the Commonwealth Games. I don't see what reason you would have to boo that, unless you were massively seeking attention.
so boo when you agree is ok, boo when you dont agree is bad. its a shame you and others cant seperate the principle from whether you like the anthem.
