Americans love their free speech until you tell them that America isn't great and never was.

Quite.

Get hysterical over someone “disrespecting” the flag.

250 mass shootings in 8 months? Nothing to see here.

I think the new anthem should feature a rousing chorus on the virtues of JaffaCakes and bourbon biscuits

That's a banned word?! This country is shot to bits.

Jerusalem should be played as the English national anthem!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The National Anthem needs to be for the whole of the UK surely?

KLS. Just asking, don't get defensive

I'm mature enough to listen to others views. If I don't agree I don't assume my opinion is always right. I don't boo either. Actually, I have done before on munerous occasions

I juts don't get why yesterday and why Liverpool fans. The reasons given indicate this booing should have bene going on for years. It hasn't.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It has!

We’ve been singing we’re not English we scouse for years.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Been happening since Thatcher and the 80's.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

But not booed the anthem before. Not all Liverpool fans hate England. I'd say its a minority.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What? Not booed the anthem before? Are you sure?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not seen or heard it before

I personally wouldn't boo it but I would think it's obvious why it is booed given the disdain the upper classes have had for Liverpool as a city over the years.

It's a crap anthem anyway, should be Jerusalem like they sing in the cricket.

The Shex Pistols version would be a lot better as it reflects the reality of our monarchy

It's been happening since the 80s, since the government played their part in the cover up of Hillsborough and Thatcher stated she wanted Liverpool to be abandoned and put in a state of managed decline.

Frankly I think you need to do a bit of research, rather than asking the people on here and expecting a reasoned debate.

That's only England. The national anthem is supposed to be for the whole of the UK, is it not?

Can't see one other incident online where you have done it before. Do the liverpool fans who go to England games boo the anthem? Tell me another game you have done it.

Plus it's still got a religious side to it.

We need a proper secular, modern anthem to unite us all.

Act like grown ups and just sit through it quietly, its a harmless tradition. No ones being forced to sing it like has been the case in other society's at some points in time.

That's exactly what I did through the hymns at school.

I know asking everyone in a half drunk stadium full of football fans to grow up is a long shot. Regardless of the teams

So at the athletics for example, the Olympics - which national anthem is used? Jerusalem?

The lyrics in national anthems around the world talk about the beautiful country, the people and their prospects. Ours talks about how great the queen is. Come on. Time for a new one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This. Rule Britannia should be our anthem
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah if it were 100s of years ago. In the 21st century, we should have a new one, which is actually relevant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Come on then TOOR, let's hear your ideal national anthem...
