Why am I amazed?

Because it shows a bit of critical thinking rather than just blindly singing the anthem without actually thinking about what those in power have done to the people in your city. As others have pointed out, there's the policy of managed decline under Thatcher, the Hillsborough cover up and the media's take on the Liverpool fans that day, then there's also a strong Irish and immigrant population as well.

There's plenty of reasons why people might not hail "King and Country". It's just they're the only ones to express it as a collective community


A strong Irish and Immigrant Population results in booing the national anthem of the country you to choose to reside. WOW. 😮

Think you are missing the point fella.
A previous post saying they are entitled to feel let down as a large Irish and immigration population.

Nearly all British people are descendants of other places. You don't have to bow to the monarch. The monarch doesn't give a toss about you.

Someone said they boo the anthem because they are largely an Irish and immigrant population. I think you are now trying to press your leftie opinions which has no place on a football forum

Immigrants. Let’s all hate our country , boo the national state to teach them a real lesson.
We could also select to protest and collectively be upset upset by the cards we have been dealt.
Then one day we will wake up, get a job and contribute to our society.
Clearly you are on the learning curve. 😂😂

Imagine thinking that football should be a space for unity and enjoyment. Booing during a national anthem turns the moment into a political protest, which can overshadow the game and shift focus from the sport itself.

Just giving my reasons as to why Liverpool boo the anthem

At no point have I put my own opinion across other than I'm not a fan of the current anthem

So Town In FA Cup final.
Would you have the disrespect to boo. Or would you maybe take the more sensible approach of just not joining in.

Im not Russian you kn0b, so its a stupid question.

And as I pointed out, the comparison is quite frankly ridiculous.

However, to humour you, in Russia there are an enormous amount of people that have been brought up on state TV, propaganda and know nothing about the outside world, other than what they are told. So these poor sods sing the national anthem.

Happy now ?


The most worrying thing about this reply is that you seem to be unable to see that all countries have propaganda.

Singing the National Anthem, which actually is nothing about the nation and everything about one man in an inherited position reigning over us, in a crowd, in an emotionally charged atmosphere, at a big football match, is the very definition of propaganda, and has many of the features of cult-like brainwashing.

The way that certain players have been highlighted and had their loyalty or patriotism questioned if they haven't sung the anthem, and indeed the responses in this thread, demonstrate the fact that those who deviate from the accepted norm, for whatever reason are viewed with suspicion and othered.

Just because we call it pageantry when the Royals process around in front of the public, or the military march past them, doesn't mean that it doesn't serve exactly the same purpose of stopping people questioning the status quo, just as it does in countries we don't like when they have military parades and songs to the dear leader, which we call propaganda and a cult of personality.

Quite.

I'm neiether religious or a monarchist so singing the national anthem has no real appeal to me on a personal basis and i don;t generally sing it.

I am however extremely patriotic when it comes to sport. I wish we had an anthem that i could feel strongly about.

Its a bit crap anyway where you compare to many other countries.

Typical scouse behaviour.

Why would you boo it ? Is it just to look cool to your thumbs up friends on here ?

I loved The Queen I’m not a Charles fan though,I still wouldn’t boo the the national anthem though.

Why is it so fashionable to hate England at the moment?

Strange behaviour that.

No, I just don't like the privilege and huge wealth given to a family, while millions of British people are homeless and/or struggling to feed their families. I know you like to blame that on a few other poor brown people but I think wealth inequality is the problem.
