We shouldn’t have played it today but booing it is pretty disgraceful.
Fume away. We live in a democracy (not that I booed).Heard there was booing from us? Surely f***ing not. Be fuming if there was.,
And Flower of Scotland is based on defeating Edward’s Army, hardly a song that shows Scotland in a great light in the 21st centuryThe national anthem includes (present tense, despite what some lackey in the Palace who edits its' content may believe) an explicit reference to crushing rebellious Scots. The fact that that it was expunged very recently out of embarrassment doesn't alter the fact that it was used as a method of rubbing the Scots' faces in it for the vast majority of its existence.
Yeah but what the actual fcuk is Jerusalem about?Wiki: God Save the King" (alternatively "God Save the Queen" when the British monarch is female) is the national anthem of the United Kingdom and the British Crown Dependencies,
Why can’t England have its own national anthem (Jerusalem?) or does it think it is the UK?
No its not to do with the Royals, booing national anthems is really poor. Disrespectful.f***ing hell mate you got your head screwed fully on? Wouldn’t have had you down as a died in the blood royal in a million years… your parents must be shocked?
Indeed we do!Fume away. We live in a democracy (not that I booed).
Well of course there was... Brighton voted 70% Remain; we are hardly a hotbed of nationalismHeard there was booing from us? Surely f***ing not. Be fuming if there was.,
Must have been Nirvana for all those scouse-hating republicans (can't imagine where you'd find them! ....... ) - they could boo scousers and The King at the same time, all in one big long boo........ bless!
A hymn named after somewhere miles from England, never understood it myself.Yeah but what the actual fcuk is Jerusalem about?

it's odd how many the same people who would abhor when some England fans boo other nation's anthems, then ok with booing ours this weekend.No its not to do with the Royals, booing national anthems is really poor. Disrespectful.
That seems to make an enormous assumption that nationalism = Brexit. Not for me it doesn’t. I am proudly English, British and European. They are not mutually exclusive.Well of course there was... Brighton voted 70% Remain; we are hardly a hotbed of nationalism
There was lots of booiing from us as the teams lined up for the anthem, but I think it was because it was clear they were switching ends. Possible some of it was directed at the Everton fans who had made it clear they weren't going to sing the anthem.Heard there was booing from us? Surely f***ing not. Be fuming if there was.,
