[Albion] So Tomorrow If Those Scousers Boo the National Anthem........

[nicko31]

We shouldn’t have played it today but booing it is pretty disgraceful.

 

[GT49er]

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!

 

[Deadly Danson]

Heard there was booing from us? Surely f***ing not. Be fuming if there was.,

Fume away. We live in a democracy (not that I booed).

The 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.

And Flower of Scotland is based on defeating Edward’s Army, hardly a song that shows Scotland in a great light in the 21st century

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?

Yeah but what the actual fcuk is Jerusalem about?

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?

No its not to do with the Royals, booing national anthems is really poor. Disrespectful.

Indeed we do!

Well of course there was... Brighton voted 70% Remain; we are hardly a hotbed of nationalism

I thought about that hypocrisy too.

It left people with two lots of hating to do, up a gum tree .

A hymn named after somewhere miles from England, never understood it myself.

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.

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.

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.

Then booing after, which I assume was directed at the Everton fans (and perhaps some more at the changing of ends).

That is actually true!

I dont think even William Blake knew.

Great tune though.

 

[Horses Arse]

It's a complete load of old bollocks. No idea why it should feature, sat down, didn't sing but didn't boo. If the majority want to sing in support of sex trafficking apologists then what can you do.

Jimmy Savile's mate, £1.8 billion estate without paying taxes, protects a nonce of a brother, accepts $million+ in plastic bags. Just for starters.
Leave the man with a hat on a chair out of football. Boooo.
I'd sing for Penny Mordaunt though.
