They say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans"Last time I was there, I crucified a Jew. I was disappointed to find that they weren't impressed.
What a horrible set of morons, booing a national anthem.
Yeah of course you'll always get the minority of idiots at any game, but I've never heard such dis-respect on that scale. Maybe I've led a sheltered life or it was a clever sound edit on itv's part. Or maybe they've just got a massive chip on their shoulders.I've always rooted for all the home nations at any sport, the Scots are getting tiresome however.
But it's OK when the massed ranks of England fans boo and whistle other nation's national anthems when they're played pre-match? So much for respect. You reap what you sow.BTW, as an atheist and a republican I don't have any repect for God Save The Queen either - and also why I wouldn't want Jerusalem as a replacement either. It doesn't mean I don't love my country.
England fans stopped booing other nations anthems years ago.

The mess we have created in Jewrusalam, why the feck would we want to sing about that vile dump?

Get off yer high horse.Maybe you've just hit the nail on the head. None of the other home nations want England to win... at anything. The fact that you look down on them and patronisingly want them to win is what they hate. Everyone wants to matter, nobody wants to be the small brother that nobody takes seriously, they do want that hate to be reciprocated. Leeds and SheffW fans took the same attitude with us when we were at our lowest ebb but that soon wore off when we were beating them. Despite the protestations from yourself I think you're in the minority as there are threads on here and all over other English club sides messageboards about last nights game and the recent referendum proving that a lot of English do care about it... even if the Scottish football team is second rate at best and unlikely to get back to the (respective!) glory years of the 70/80s.
