Why boo your own national anthem?
Maybe you would like something similar to the U.S. anthem, whose creator just put words to what was a ditty pissed up boozers sang in English pubs.It is what it is and I agree about the dirge bit, however it should be respected.
Personally I would like a new National Anthem with a bit more about it and a lot longer. The extra length is required for when we win the odd international event so we can celebrate the medal ceremony for a longer time.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
#fakenewsBigger news is that someone dribble past Virgil Van Dick. Mustn't have had any protection in front of him.
Many years ago stationed at Long Kesh we were given an evening off. Six of us went to an RUC dance in Portadown. (two pints each, no more than that ) After about ten pints we were slightly mouse bottomed. A heavy metal band was giving it woofty on stage. End of dance arrived and this group of long haired, leather clad head bangers played the National Anthem. Being the worse for wear a couple of the lads couldn't get up. A small mini skirted girl walked up to us, smashed a bottle on the edge of the table, holding it by the neck and said " You stand for the Anthem ." Sobered up pretty quick.I do the same, I got banned from a Conservative Club many years ago for not standing up for the National Anthem which was played at the end of the evening on Saturdays and Sundays. I was only a member there because it had a snooker table and my mates mum and dad were the stewards.
I repeat that was their best starting eleven and best eighteen players. It was neither our best eleven, nor was it our best eighteen.
