Personally I quite like hearing GSTQ booed anyway, but that is because I think it is f***ing shit.
Bunch of sad muppets were doing it again.
Most other countries do it all the time. You will find we tend to only do it for the home nations Germany and a few others.
So in other words, you're saying absolutely nothing, except having a pop at me. You're so boring that I had forgotten that you ever came back, until I saw your childish neg repping obviously. Hopefully you'll get bored and f*** off again soon.Some may boo and some stand "respectfully", each pander to bellicose patriotism in their own way. Much better to have 22 blokes chasing a pigskin about ocaisionaly kicking lumps out of each other than open warfare.
Its a typical English middle class thing to validate themselves by looking down and sneering at others who wont do things their way. No suprise simster is one of them.
IF you want to treat it like a variant of "Triumph of the will" then fine, if you want to treat it like a pantomime booing the baddies then fine, if you just want to STFU and watch the footie then thats fine to.

I find it hugely disrespectful
I can half see why we do it against Germany and Scotland and the like although I still wouldn't do it myself
But we do it against every single team
We used to be a courteous nation
If I wasn't English I would have no respect whatsoever towards our fans and our country
Boo all you like during the game but not during the national anthem
So can anyone explain why we boo?
You confuse sanctimony with respect. No surprise for someone as confused as yourself really.Yea I had a little dig at you, dont worry, its not the end of the world.
What I was saying is it doesn't really matter if you cheer or boo or do neither. Both groups are endulging in forms of patriotism. Its just the sanctimonious bullshit that I'm having a dig at, which you are often the cheerleader for.
Also, been to dozens and dozens of Ireland games and never heard a single supporter boo the opposition anthem. Been to a few Wales games (not against England) and never heard it. Also been to quite a few Ireland away games and never heard our anthem booed.

Most countries don't do it though, i'm pretty certain we started it this and other countries have followed suite but not so vociferously as England supporters
