"disrespectful like it or not 'God Save the Queen' is the national anthem of England AND Great Britain. If they dont want to sing the national anthem of the country they have been chosen to represent then dont accept the invitation" | |||

"I think its fair, speaking as a Welshman. I think there ought to be a British National Anthem that is inclusive for the Welsh, Scottish, Northern Irish and English, infact didnt it used to be Rule Brittania? I have nothing against God Save the Queen and I would sing it happily if it was the British National Anthem and the English had their own anthem, such as Jerusalam but being as the English sing it as their National Anthem and then expect the rest of to sing it as the British anthem it just doesnt sit right. But thats just my opinion." but thats always been the case, its only fairly recently that Scotland, Wales and Norther Ireland have adopted their anthems isn't it? | |||

"I don't know if there is a reason why they didn't sing to it.....but, if they are not singing the National Anthem because they don't believe in it, then maybe they shouldn't be competing for GB in the Olympics." Well said | |||

"On a site where people repeatedly talk about preferences and choice - surely it is everyones' choice whether they sing the national anthem. Up until recently there have been several instances of english players not singing it " i hate that to. Everyone says what an honour it is to represent your country. If its that big an onour then respect your country. In the case of the Olympics the country you are representing is Great Britain | |||

"No we have had anthems for many many many years. Before Land of our Fathers we had Bread of Heaven, and the Scottish national anthem before Flower of Scotland was Scotland the Brave. We forget that Britain is made up of 4 nations who all have their own identity but combined are all willing to act as one, its just unfortunate that the world often sees England as being the same as Britain. BTW I am not anti English, I am pro British and proud to be Welsh, or as my Mum often says, British by birth, Welsh by the grace of God." i stand corrected on that point then i'm not anti anything either but we havent got a seperate anthem and so people representing Team GB need to recognise that, man up, and just sing the bloody song!!!! | |||

"Is there not a verse in God Save the Queen about crushing "those rebellious Scots"? Surely you cant expect Scotsmen/women to sing that regardless if the are representing GB" I heared this before and don't know where it comes from but it doesn't mention the scots in the first 5 verses, plus we only sing the first verse anyway. | |||

So why should we sing God Save the Queen? We get annoyed when Prince Charles (The Prince of Wales) doesnt sing the Welsh National Anthem but does sing GSTQ. At the end of the day its just a song, and singing it doesnt give us any special super powers to help win the game." | |||

I have to say though, perhaps refusing to sing it on the pitch isn't the best way about it. | |||

"There was a Thread earlier about The National Anthem ... Now I am but a simple soul so maybe I have missed something. But. Its the National Anthem for all 5 countries that make up the United Kingdom. Team GB is therefore a slight misnomer but 'Great Britain' is recognised internationally as being the same thing. So the Anthem is entirely appropriate for the Olympics. Now whether someone chooses to sing it or not is their choice entirely. As it is mine to think they are being disrespectful. As to seperate Anthems for each Nation of the United Kingdom I can't see the problem as they exist and it was demonstrated wonderfully at the Opening Ceremony by the childrens choirs.

Do you mean 4 countries, which was the count last time I checked. Also, Jerusalem is not the English national anthem officially (England doesn't have one), but perhaps it should be. It would go part of the way to addressing this - leaving God Save the Queen as the anthem on Britain and Northern Ireland as it was intended. | |||

"They are a bunch of ignorant fucks, then again I had a similar amount of disrespect when I moderated the welsh chatroom so it comes as no suprise tbh Yes I know I didn't give 'welsh' a capital W, but I'm showing them the same level of disrespect as they are showing me and every othe English person Why do you think they are dis respecting every other English person - that's an odd thing to say You think that's odd ? Sorry fella, just my limited experiences of the taffs (and to some extent the Jocks) .... Major chip on your shoulder by the sounds of it. Ive met plenty of english who are ignorant twats but i certainly wouldnt tar them all with the same brush. If you dont like the Welsh then I doubt any of us will lose any sleep over it No chip - just experience ... Have you ever thought that maybe the reason every taff youve met has been an ignorant fuck may have something to with you? It never crossed my mind tbh, but it's funny I've never had that problem with Englishmen. Maybe the taffs just don't appreciate the English SOH ? PS, whre did I mention about taffs that 'I'd met' ??? You're right. Why on earth wouldn't a Welsh person find being called an ignorant fuck amusing? Miserable twats the Welsh " In much the same way as an Englishman moderating a taff chatroom doesn't find it amusing to read comments of 'burn the English houses' just because he wasn't their 'usual' moderator. Now it that's indicitave of the taff way of thinking who can blame me for not exactly warming to them ? | |||

"] That's not quite true either. Last time I saw England play there were quite a few that either chose not to sing or didn't know the words to their own national anthem. I know the words! God save the Queen and her fascist regime ... " Remind me what verse that is in again? | |||

"There was a Thread earlier about The National Anthem ... Now I am but a simple soul so maybe I have missed something. But. Its the National Anthem for all 5 countries that make up the United Kingdom. Team GB is therefore a slight misnomer but 'Great Britain' is recognised internationally as being the same thing. So the Anthem is entirely appropriate for the Olympics. Now whether someone chooses to sing it or not is their choice entirely. As it is mine to think they are being disrespectful. As to seperate Anthems for each Nation of the United Kingdom I can't see the problem as they exist and it was demonstrated wonderfully at the Opening Ceremony by the childrens choirs. who are the 5 country's? Do you mean 4 countries, which was the count last time I checked. Also, Jerusalem is not the English national anthem officially (England doesn't have one), but perhaps it should be. It would go part of the way to addressing this - leaving God Save the Queen as the anthem on Britain and Northern Ireland as it was intended." that's how many I counted lol | |||

"Maybe they don't like the outdated principal of a monarchy, the Neville brothers never used to sing it when they played for England and didn't ever hear a fuss about them" Thats because they are English - Rooney is another - but it seems that a fuss is only made when the Welsh Scots or N Irish don't sing it | |||
