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...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think if we are to have a new one, then we should create a new one, rather than looking for one in that past, which isn't relevant to us anymore.
One with lyrics about how beautiful the country is, the prospects, the traditions and the people.
Would you like me to write one?

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Royal Family is no “harmless tradition”
Greatteams, not on my search. Sorry.
So basically every 3 years Liverpool fans boo the anthem. Unless they go to England games where I assume they boo it every game.
I've always liked Abide With Me being sung for the FA cup and I'm not in any way religious

I love this kind of straw clutching argument. You don't like it you think of a new one. You don't like x player you find another player better.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not an argument at all. I don't see what place the national anthem has in society, don't get why it's celebrated, don't get why it's booed.
Think it's pathetic to do the latter because it's nothing but provocation. Pretty much all this country does is provoke eachother to be honest. Facking hate it.
Would also be interested to see what TOOR deems an acceptable national anthem.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's only England. The national anthem is supposed to be for the whole of the UK, is it not?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm only talking about the English national anthem which is presumably what would be played in a game like yesterday.
I could get behind a proper decent song, something for all ages:

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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Precisely what does Hillsborough & the great lady Margaret Thatcher have to do with the monarchy?

But if the royal family existence is that much of a political problem for you maybe you should consider moving because it's literally the systemic foundation of our state. And there is nowhere near enough support to remove it in the near future.

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.

Surely if your at an England game your an England fan?

Yeah but you can have separate. God save the Queen is both the English and UK national anthem.
Scotland for example don't play God save the Queen before their international football/rugby matches.

He's right about the royal family though. I don't really care either way but there's nothing close to enough support across the UK (England mostly) to get rid of it.

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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Precisely what does Hillsborough & the great lady Margaret Thatcher have to do with the monarchy?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing I'd like to think. What's your point, dlckface?

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Surely if your at an England game your an England fan?

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's only England. The national anthem is supposed to be for the whole of the UK, is it not?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm only talking about the English national anthem which is presumably what would be played in a game like yesterday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Land of hope and glory should have been the English national anthem when this country wasn't just 65m kants.

I'm not one of those people that throws around the whole if you dont like this about our country then you should leave thing
But if the royal family existence is that much of a political problem for you maybe you should consider moving because it's literally the systemic foundation of our state. And there is nowhere near enough support to remove it in the near future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So people should leave their homes as they don't agree with the monarchy? What is this? The 16th century?

Yeah but you can have separate. God save the Queen is both the English and UK national anthem.
Scotland for example don't play God save the Queen before their international football/rugby matches.

Yes, that would have been a good choice.

It's aimed at Sizz. Most us (me included) grumble about it and move on with our lives

Northern Ireland do before their football games.

To be fair it's harsh they have to sing it at all. I'm sure there's a line in there about defeating them.

wow
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow what?
He's right about the royal family though. I don't really care either way but there's nothing close to enough support across the UK (England mostly) to get rid of it.
