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

[pure_white]

I didnt know the National Anthem is due to be played. Not seen anything on OS. If they boo it lets drown them out GOD SAVE THE KING.

I don't think I've ever tutted anything in my life, but then I tend to file English well down my list of possible identities.
If I were there, I might aggressively roll my eyes at people getting het up over things that don't really matter.

Well that's very unpatriotic. You could at least fold your arms, shake your head, and say 'youngsters nowadays'.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Why would anyone boo The National Anthem? It’s about time they played something decent rather than that middle of the road shite we’ve had to endure since time began.

Those ‘people’ there yesterday would not piss on you if you were on fire. Have you got no shame?

Well everyone has their own recipe, most prefer lemonade and strawberries

I find myself saying that more often than I'd like, without looking for opportunities.

There is definitely a big devide in Liverpool.

Everton fans = from Liverpool
Liverpool fans = from Solihull.

Liverpool fans from Ireland

If they did Boo I wouldn't notice as I will be singing it at the same time

Surely the club isn’t playing the national anthem before the game? There isn’t anything on the club website about it.

The Premier League "strongly suggested" it is played before all PL matches in this round.

 

[trueblue]

To spare them the ignominy of embarrassing themselves and us the boredom of standing about during a tune of no relevance whatsoever to a club match, I suggest we ignore the Premier League guidance and simply don’t bother playing it.

I wonder what the uptake of this suggestion has been so far?

Man City yesterday was near silent ...

 

[kuzushi]

especially for an atheist like me.

Yeah, but you're wrong to be an atheist.

 

[BNthree]

I thought we all loved the freedom of expression our country affords? I am not a republican, and favour the monarchy's continuance, however if anyone chooses to sing, boo or remain indifferent it is their right in a free country. Unless I've got it wrong and we are free to express our views only if it coincides with an 'acceptable' paradigm.

Indeed, imagine being such a snowflake that someone else’s opinion offends you so much you want to cancel them.

 

[kuzushi]

At last a thread that dares to fans the flames of Republican and Unionist’s, there isn’t enough of them on this board, I just hope someone starts one titled ’Who watching the Coronation concert tonight’….

I was a bit surprised to learn that during the Civil War, Brighton supported King Charles (the first) and Hove was on Cromwell's side.

If somebody boos somebody else booing the anthem, how will anybody know they're not booing the anthem themselves?
And then somebody else could chip in, booing the second booer.
Total chaos.
In fact, that sort of chaos deserves a good boo.

Indeed. And what if the boo booing was mistaken for poo pooing?

If the club intended to play the national anthem, they might well retrack from playing the national anthem after what happened with Liverpool as no one wants to hear a load of boos around the Amex before KO.

Hope not, Newcastle fans put on a great show today, we shouldn't assume a large percentage of our supporters are as wanky as Liverpool or Celtic.

I live in hope that the vast majority of our supporter base haven’t got the same desperate need to show how edgy and different they are by booing our national anthem.
