Booing - "God save the Queen"

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

I think this message board has finally become shit enough to leave it there.

Your idiotic contributions will be sorely missed.

[GRUMPYS DEN]

I disagree. GSTQ IS the English anthem. The monarch has never been known as anything else but the King or Queen of England. Never the King or Queen of Britain. The English should keep the shite GSTQ and the UK anthem should be either Rule Brittania, or maybe Land of hope and glory. Most Welsh and Scots dont recognise GSTQ as our anthem.

You can disagree all you like.Her title starts as the Queen of the United Kingdom and goes on ad infinitum!!!!!!!You are in no better than position than I am to speak for most Welsh or Scots and whatever your views on Rule Britannia they are simply that.GSTQ is not the English Anthem in isolation it is that of the United Kingdom whatever our views are.

[Belfast_blue]

So you will know that GSTQ only represents half the community?

[Pilkers]

It was not played/sung for Wales last night, we had our own Anthem. !

Typical moronic behaviour by people who don't know better.

How would you feel if Hen wlad fynadau was replaced by GSTQ? Officially it's our national anthem too after all...DP1 might not object but most of us there last night would chuck it in immediately. That's how many in Northern Ireland feel. They're alienated from following their own country because of the divisive dirge imposed on them if they turn up...This isn't about hating England it's about calling out intolerant bigots.

[DP1]

Might point was that GSTQ is the anthem of a visiting team and should have been respected as such.

I as a Welshman prefer our anthem of course.

[Richyrich]

Disagree with this comment-having served in NI I can assure you that it means a great deal to many of them.

Do we boo the Japanese/German/Argentinian/Éire anthems with such vigour or at all? Totally disrespectful.

You do realise a lot of Welsh support the Éire side of things? With them being Celts and all.

[Steve R]

Mrs R is English and I'm sure she'd be booing a fake 'Anthem' that tells about a non existant deity 'saving' (what does that even mean?) a German woman who's been set up to rule the nation.

What a load of old shit.

Why should anyone have to sing about saving some pampered miserable old woman. A country's anthem should be about its people's and not some privileged old bint

Really? - think the Guinness angle would have more strength

Mrs R would be entitled to - but we should respect ANY anthem which is not ours when played on behalf of THAT country

I don't particularly like the anthem but I wouldn't boo, I wont stand up because I hate England either.

I'm half English, so can I boo the first verse?

[DP1]

Agree on both points

[blue matt]

No

you should just keep on shouting Bo

[Richyrich]

Yeah really.

[DP1]

[QUOTE=Steve R;4608726]I'm half English, so can I boo the first verse?[/QUO


Feel free but personally I would respect ANY anthem

[DP1]

Yeah really.

If that is your opinion - certainly not mine

[life on mars]

Why do we continue to this?

Felt quite embarrassed last night when our fans booed GSTQ last night. The NI fans must have though, quite rightly, what a bunch of w******.


About time some of or fans grew up

Grown up welsh fans , now your talking. i have been In their company when they boo their own players, If they are from the wrong club , even booed Giggs ?

I never said it was yours. I said a lot of Welsh.

[CCFC_Urawa_Reds]

In fairness, even English fans want to boo an anthem that celebrates a 90 year old nanny who is worth hundreds of millions and still takes taxes off the general populace (indirectly).

Interesting, what about the South African anthem up until the 1990s, for example?

I have lived in England for 40 years and can't say that I have ever witnessed English people booing their own anthem,
