Hatton vs Mayweather

They were probably booing the ideal of nationalism, embodied in the national anthem. It was clearly a call to bring down the barriers dividing humanity into nation states. What better place to do do this? They obviously saw the boxers as pawns in a cruel game trapped in a ring, forced to battle each other, but for what? They identified with their struggle, and triumphantly denounced the spectacle, and showed it for what it really was, an absurd and futile facade.

So there is sense to the madness. :pinch:
 
GSTQ is supposed to be the "British" national anthem. I get annoyed when they play it for "England" sporting occasions. I'd much rather we adopted "Land of Hope and Glory" for England games and that :dabs:
 
And people say English fans are dumb....they are the true pioneers. Forget all those posh writers and academics, these guys are out on the streets making a difference, making the world a better place. That is why I read the Sun and vote BNP...

That's because we can't even decide what our national anthem is.

At N .Ireland matches, half the crowd stands for God Save The Queen and the other half boos.

If N. Ireland is supposed to be a country in it's own right, why does it have to be the English national anthem? The rest of the UK has their own song.

A lot of people have been suggesting that it should be Danny Boy/Londonderry Air.

You boys in the North are all just maddies.
