Booing the Champions League Anthem

[blue b4 the moon]

As anyone on the team/team management said they don't like it?

I've got a vague recollection of one of them (new player) wondering why we do it.

I also think I've read somewhere that to paraphrase Pep understands but couldn't show support as they'd fine him again.

its Handle’s the Messiah - I think.

Zadok the Priest. UEFA’s one is just a jingle that’s a rip-off of that.

Seriously why are we even booing now and what will it achieve?

It's symbolic of our struggle against OPPRESSION!!!!! ;)

Our club looks so fkin shit when there's a load of idiots booing. Absolutely pathetic.

It's the people who moan all the time about it that does my head in. Post after post complaining.

I suppose at this stage it would look a bit silly if the anthem wasn't boo'd, however I can't help but think what this looks like to a global audience, with just a pocket of fans there booing on what is our debut in the final. Doesn't sit right with me, but as I say I suppose it would look stupid if they don't boo as it is almost a ritual now to do so.

So is your pathetic post. Tell me how the booing has any effect. You make specific points and none are addressed by booing. It’s a ritual of self-pleasure at this point

The effect of the booing is that when we do it, there will be thousands who then ‘google search’ “why do City boo...?’
Try it - when you do one of the first hits is about UEFA’s dismal punishment for when our players were racially abused (as well as other grievances).
So think of it not ‘as a ritual of self-pleasure’ but a fans version of taking the knee and hi-lighting serious injustices.
Boooooooo

Yes boo the anthem of the final that you just paid the best part of 1k to get to. That will really show them.

Also to the players who have worked incredibly hard and sacrificed so much to get us into this position for us only to boo the anthem. If I was a player I’d be a bit pissed off tbh. It is sending out a message of we don’t care what you have done or what you want we think this competition is shit (Even though I’ve just paid about 1k to get here).

it has served its purpose time to move on now imo. A lot of the big wigs who had it in for us at uefa have also resigned due to the super league fiasco

It obviously doesn't help the players. Just support the team.
