You’re entitled to that opinion, personally, I would prefer Jerusalem for the England national sporting teams.
When is the last time anyone sang that verse. Most won’t even know about it. I’ve never met a Scot whose told me they were offended either.The crushed, rebellious Scots may disagree. ;-)
I would agree with that.You’re entitled to that opinion, personally, I would prefer Jerusalem for the England national sporting teams.
I reckon some of the families of the Irish players might have advised them to nip it in the bud too. The person who records and posts this signing is more at fault IMHO. I’m not that arsed myself.It really wasn't an issue. Sky Sports News made it one and they don't exactly reflect our views.
Not sure, but I guess certain societies at Oxford Uni still do. Ones that are partial to a bit of pig.When is the last time anyone sang that verse. Most won’t even know about it. I’ve never met a Scot whose told me they were offended either.
A much better tune and gets my vote.
However maybe not really a tune for the British as it’s all about England and it being pleasant and green (maybe in some lost corner of Cheshire but not where I live, which is mostly grey and definitely somewhat unpleasant).
The other bits of Britain could sing their own tunes I guess?
Yeah the Uk cannot use it, as you’re right, it’s a song for just England.A much better tune and gets my vote.

I’m guessing the sort of people who get offended by everything are those whose grandmas went on a weekend trip to Belfast and now consider themselves full blown Irish. I do t know anyone whose made a big deal of the video of the Irish women team singing.Not sure, but I guess certain societies at Oxford Uni still do. Ones that are partial to a bit of pig.
Yes these sorts got a few Blues locked up when they repelled an attack by rags after a Derby a few years ago. They are a liability.Completely agree mate. I always find people filming are bad grasses.
