Booing - "God save the Queen"

[BLUETIT]

so the England fans never boo our anthem

Two wrongs do not make a right !

[City123]

Patronising nonsense-unfortunately a trait of a few Welsh speakers!!!!!!!

So you're denying these things happened?

whos in the wrong i do not like theirs and no doubt they hate ours, even playing field.

[goslow]

Typical mouth breathing knuckle dragging whining **** behaviour from the trogs.

[DP1]

I wonder why the Welsh boo the the English/British anthem?

The years of oppression perhaps? The destruction of Welsh culture? The exploitation of Welsh people and resources and then saying "Oh f*ck em" after the resources were all used? Tryweryn possibly?

There's quite a strong contingent of Welsh-speakers (myself included) who follow the Welsh National Team, Welsh-speakers to be more nationalistic than non-Welsh-speakers, which is another reason for the booing, the points above still stand though

I am not great fan of the Italians after what the Romans did to my family in AD42 will never forgive them being a true Celt

Welsh speakers being more patriotic than non-Welsh speakers.It's utter nonsense.

Regarding the history you refer to-get over it .Many bad things have happened in history but why continue to bleat about it and carry a chip on your shoulder. Surely your not saying we are squeaky clean when it comes historical events.

oje of the worst replies I've read regarding the subject. Don't worry about the atrocities, just get over em. Pathetic response.

[GRUMPYS DEN]

What's an oje? You can't worry about history you can learn from it.Think about it before making silly remarks.

[TruBlue]

And I bet they turned up to support when times were not great . There support is unbelievable , especially away form home even in mindless friendlies , in faraway countries, didn't we give up the Millennium because of poor attendances and leaner times and hating all this west of us ?

I can't imagine why or how England might muster up more support than Wales.........

Let's take an extreme scenario. If someone killed your father, and then said ah well forget about it. Would you?

Been scratching my head on this one too..........

[DP1]

I was so tempted to ask - thanks

[life on mars]

Do they really? As a Welsh person you'd think I would have been informed of this sooner.

he has a point I do know folk in that category, i used to argue with them and say just be proud of your team achievements , you simply let yourself down by the hatred and jealousy of other teams. Rugby is by far the worse for this pathetic behavior.

"Welsh-speakers tend to be more nationalistic"

Nowehere did I say they were more patriotic, nationalistic and patriotic mean different things

Here's a summary I found
"Nationalism means to give more importance to unity by way of a cultural background, including language and heritage. Patriotism pertains to the love for a nation, with more emphasis on values and beliefs."

I was giving genuine reasons for the booing of God Save the Queen there are other reasons as well but the other ones are more broad I feel (Republicanism being the main one) so I tried giving reasons as to way Welsh people in particular would boo God Save the Queen, I think they are valid reasons for booing the British anthem

Although they could have just been booing because of how bad the tune is

And you shouldn't!

In all seriousness though 42 v 20th century? I know the stuff I mentioned happened in the past but not in Biblical times!

Personally id say implementing the welsh not was an atrocity, as was drowning tryweryn. Id even go as far to say England still controlling wales today is an atrocity.

It's bad enough the idiots in London running us, the last thing we want is those wanna-be's down the Bay with their finger on the button.

Perhaps as a Welsh speaker you should stick to the Welsh Message Board because the above makes little sense at all.
