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

[BN9 BHA]

I don't remember them booing at all. They very loudly sang their football song at the football match all the way through it.

Like yourself I only heard the Everton fans singing.

What Everton fans sang at Brighton as national anthem jeered again

Talking of their song. It had a Wooooo in the middle of it, which the North stand took the mickey out of. It was one bright spark in the whole evening.

 

[Gabbafella]

Didn't sing, didn't boo. Sat down and ignored the whole thing.
Woman next to me was shouting "Booooo! Not my king." And a bloke in front was calling everyone who booed and/or didn't stand/sing a load of c**ts.
I couldn't give a toss either way.

Maybe it's a homage to the beatles.

Maybe it's a homage to the beatles.

It was definitely a Woooo not an Oooh.

 

[Oh_aye]

I felt confident there was a Woo in 'I saw her standing there'. But I just listened and by jove you're right. Clearly an ooh not a woo. @Thunder Bolt

I think what I object to is the Tax free existence of the Monarchy almost as if they are non-doms! The income from the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall brings in about 40m per annum I believe. Why do they need the Civil List as well? They should pay tax on their earnings like the rest of us but that is probably asking too much. Like all rich people they always want more.

So just think. If we got rid of the monarchy and opted for a republic don't you imagine that a rich person would become head of state. Trump only got in because he had the money to run for president, Biden is rich and the next president will be a rich person.
For the Republic of England, N Ireland, Wales and Scotland (not UK as we wouldn't have a kingdom)you might expect Richard Branson for Democrats versus Tony Blair for the Republicans.
Either of those take your fancy ?

Whether it was an Ooh or a Whoo, I thought maybe it was an homage to one of Bill Kenwright's musical theatre hits

Agree but I don’t want a republic. An honorary head of state would do me as long as they pay tax. They already have 40 mill a year. `How much more do they need? It’s supposedly a ceremonial role so how come they claim to work very hard? We have an elected head of state already why do we need two?

Why would we need to follow the US system? There are plenty of other systems across the world, Germany for example doesnt even elect its president by popular vote, Its president is chosen at a convention by representatives of Germany's 16 federal states. The Irish president on the other hand is elected directly by the people but his role is largely ceremonial.

We don't already have an elected head of state! The prime minister is the head of the Executive and is not directly elected by the people.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

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.

The reverse is also true.

Why don’t we just completely do away with the anachronistic, nationalist bollocks for all countries and save everyone the bother of booing and arguing about it after.

And Charles is?

 

[Half Time Pies]

And Charles is?

The head of state but not elected!

 

[PeterT]

And Charles is?

Just out of interest, do you think the constitutional arrangements in your adopted home work better? They seem to be more fragmented than almost any other country in Europe. Maybe you just like living in countries that have a Monarchy!

They hate the establishment. I’m ok with that. Scouse not English? Fair enough.

But then why do we use their city to represent the U.K.‘s hosting of Eurovision, or Everton’s new ground as an English venue for the Euro 2028 bid, or why do they even want to compete in the English Premier League or play in our other competitions or even host the British Open golf?

Booing the anthem should just be the start, let’s give them what they want. I can’t wait for the Merseyside League to get going, should be great la ….

Minor point but I think you’ll find it’s actually Ukraine’s hosting, only they’re a bit preoccupied right now

Well yes, but technically the U.K. are hosting it on their behalf.

Don't be so precious Peter. They just supported their team.

I don’t think it was the intention of the fans of the 3 Merseyside clubs to ‘just support their team‘ this weekend!
