Liverpool fans boo the national anthem

It’s a free country, our National Anthem is politically loaded and it’s unsurprising some struggle to get behind it.
Totally agree. I couldn't care less if you support or hate the monarchy. Booing is just sticks and stones. Better to boo then have a 30 year war against things like monarchy like the Irish. Leave them to boo or cheer.
 
Has to be the most underrated player of the modern game.
Glad to see he sang the anthem as well.
Will go down as one of the best ever.
Goose, dear me, I can only put these inane ramblings down to jet lag, or the fact that so many visits to the USA are making you react like a Yank.

What amazed me more than anything was that he knew the words....or did he?
 
Why was today one of them? It could be argued today was the day to make your voice heard.
Nonsense, Scousers have some delusional superiority complex that they are not even English as well. Yet they are the biggest scroungers in the country.
 
Yes of course because they're the only City/ town who have had hard times or struggled.
By booing they make it all about them instead of just staying quiet but that's them. Quick to be offensive and even quicker to be offended.
The whole of the North of England and certainly the Valleys of Wales were abandoned by the government, but I don’t read or see the Geordies or South Yorkshire booing.
Im not a big Royalist but would never boo any anthem ever.
 
Quite simple for me.

From ‘NOK’ protesters to footy fans, if you don’t like something, just move on, carry on munching your pie or supping your pint. Placards, booing and damn right pure hatred just isn’t the answer for me and spoils it for those who are there to enjoy it. Totally unnecessary.

I’m no Royalist by any stretch so I just carried on working today.

Freedom of speech surely doesn’t mean spreading hatred?!

Just got back after a month in Spain with the wife, now stateside and just catching up on the usual.
hope you are well.
Your a secret admirer of Henderson I’m sure 😀

Yes Ok goose. You and the missus stay safe mate.

TBH goose, I have a love/hate attitude to Hendo.............I love to hate him :)

Always admired his workrate and attitude, but as a top footballer, never in a month of Sundays.
 
Don't understand how anyone can support the royals.

Loads of people can't afford to eat their tea.

Meanwhile sausage fingers Charlie is being carted around in a golden box by 1000-odd cavalry.

He was best mates with a paedo. And his brother is a paedo.

Why anyone thinks we need that bunch of freeloaders is completely beyond my comprehension.
 
Fair Play to them for not being weak lily livered hooray Henry's. They're standing up for something they belive in when they feel Thatchers government let them down badly, almost to rot in the 80's and with Hillsborough which again they were let down with.

I have Scouse relatives. They all to a man hate the way the city was let down. At least they believe in something.
most not even aware as to why they were booing. thick plastic scouse *****
 
While I do think it shows a lack of respect from Liverpool fans, I don't understand why they felt the need to play the anthem at the football? Why give people the chance and platform to show what they think on an internationally televised program? Stupid decision.
 
Bollocks it's boring links back to the spud pickers. Get over it 🥱
Hmm. Try living in a couple of places that got raped and pillaged by British colonialism, in the name of a bloke in a shiny hat.

You’ll see why some people are not ‘over it’.

Culture and history is different for everybody, surely we can have our different opinions on the monarchy and still get along. We have far more in common with each other than any fucker has in common with them.

I would boo the Russian and North Korean anthems and burn their flags.
 
Good for them. It's a terrible dirge and not really even a national anthem, just a song about the head of state.
