[Football] National Anthem before Everton match

[Hamilton]

well , you've screwed everything else up so i guess a non political head of state is about as feasible as an intelligent , diligent , compassionate prime minister.

Whoosh

I don't like Americans generally, but I do admire their love for their country.

It must be that love they have that they would storm their house of democracy and violently try to overturn an election result leaving many people dead, while keeping an ancient constitutional right to bare arms to form a militia against federal government alive because they love their country so much - doesn’t matter how many kids get gunned down in the process.

We probably have more love for our country generally than they do - we’re just a bit more cynical and a lot less in your face about it.

And these days, if you say you’re English...

at the last coronation we had rationing and half the people used outdoor toilets. it was seen as a reason for celebration and a bit of colour in the grey post war years. today it's seen as yet another reason to be negative.

And gave us a very nice chicken sandwich filler. So it's not all negative.

Indeed and one I attempted to recreate only last evening with cooked & sliced chicken breast mixed with mayo, sultanas, turmeric & gara masala, I can confirm I have now stopped shitting….

And in those days it was also legal to put a sign outside your B&B saying "no dogs, blacks or Irish", but times change. These days it's not just black people who won't be told to know their place.

The coronation is sickening to a large part of the population.

Love for the country, but not the people in it, given they keep shooting each other dead!

it's all a bit noncey for my liking ....i won't even watch it, i liked the queen but this guy has been a joke for ever and now the press have managed to somehow legitimise him , despite his Paedo connections and general flakery.

Ambivalent about the royals generally - they're probably justifiable as a tourist attraction. Singing the national anthem at a club game. Nah - but I'm not going to get upset about people that want to either.

I shall just sit through the whole dirge of song bored and lòoking at the lemmings joining in.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Some of us would sing the national anthem. It's my bloody country for a start and bloody well proud of it. I find all this saving a shit for the game attitude disrespectful, very disrespectful. Bore off!

who would have thunk it, a bombastic reply from yourself.

I went to a baseball game with the wife's family Detroit Tigers v some team from New York, very contrived music "Let's go Tigers" I am not friggin five !!
Anyways, they play the national anthem, I am sat in my chair, the wife clips me round the ear, and tells me "look everyone is staring at you, you will get your head splattered across those seats, if you don't get up and si" - "Nope I refuse" to and went for a piss...

Got the evils from folks all around me the rest of the boring game.

Not sure the timing is wrong. It's always after the last monarch has died (or abdicated).

Long live the King.
