Booing the Champions League Anthem

Shrewd, this thread started over 5 years ago with the post “let’s stop the booing now” and we are still doing it! I know circumstances have changed and I for one love the idea of getting to the CL final and still doing it, even better if it is played after us winning it!
 
After seeing who the ref is, I've changed my mind.

This is where the disconnect is between the fans and the players/management. I'm not knocking the guys, they seem a really good group and no real twats. They say they grew up listening the the 'anthem (jingle)' and some know the words fgs. But, if we were banned for 2 years or more, a lot would be off. We have been here longer and do take it personally. Even Joe and Joleon, in the last few days have got the list of trophies/history wrong and I don't think anything worse of them - they just can't appreciate it like we do.
I'm bored with the booing - but god help them if or when they try more shit.

Your opinion is the elite professional referee is going to throw a school yard tantrum at some fans booing an anthem he has no association with other than through his employer and cheat risking his reputation he's worked his entire career for out of spite? You are of course allowed your own opinion but its a bloody weird one.

yeah like all referees are honest and aren’t influenced by outside influences or have in built bias? Not like we have ever been fucked over by referees is it! I have an opinion and you have yours so no need to get on your high horse.
 
When we win,,I will hum that tune every morning until I die..not out of any love for Uefa, but because we are the greatest team in all the world who Uefa despise..so,my old man is 94 ,I am 60, so maybe 34 more years of humming that tune..Stoke Cup final was my greatest day..when we win the CL that will be bloody close. Have started practising and the mrs is going nuts !!!

I don't understand this post at all. Why "players" in inverted commas?

And it clearly does have an effect on them because it's drawn comments.

What does the quote from Life of Brian even mean?

Sorry If I didn’t make any sense Dobsy, players in inverted commas because I was quoting you. Not saying you are wrong but I’d be very surprised if booing the anthem had a detrimental effect on anyone’s performance on the pitch.. They would surely know why we are booing...
Hopefully they agree, hence the solidarity quote..
I never miss an opportunity to quote Python, or to use the word quote as much as possible ..;)
 
It's a NO from me for the final.
The past is the past - although I like the thought of a Poznan return during the "anthem" (I thought an anthem represented a country personally)
 
Uefa had a simple choice, 12,000 fans at Wembley and virtually no pigs at the trough or 17,000 pigs gorging on a freebie in Portugal and virtually no fans.
And people still don't understand why we boo a jingle.
 
UEFA President

“I have said on many occasions that fans are the heart of football and we need to do more to engage them as a legitimate stakeholder. They have much to contribute and we should give them a voice on important relevant matters,"

This was said before UEFA put plan in place to move final to Porto......we all know the FA, Prem League, UEFA, FIFA dont really give a fuck about fans. They speak the words but their actions tell the truth.

I will not boo the anthem as cancelled my CL Cup scheme for next season, had enough now.
