Since GSTQ is a British anthem why don't the English get one of their own same thing giving free tickets to the Army who come in their uniform totally tasteless

Oh and Welsh football supporters once booed their own national anthem when it was being played for the England Football team in Cardiff. Fair enough in the context of that game GSTQ was an opposition anthem but FFS it is the anthem of the state which Wales is part of.

Scots footy supporters have done likewise

Oh Shan you are so wrong my man, it's not the Welsh anthem, neither is it the Scottish anthem & bizarrely it's not England's anthem either. I do not recognise it as my national anthem either, I don't have one that I feel any remote allegiance towards, though I do confess it is actually the UK Anthem & also used formally by several lickspittle nations, such as NZ which retains GSTQ as official national anthem, though do not use it other than Royal engagements, preferring the less dull but equally dumb lyrics of God Defend NZ.

Incidentally your stated position equating the English & Irish reaction to opposition kickers, which I was appalled by today, is an outrage, damn your West-Briton tendencies & damn you slight on Irish rugby supporters, wrong, wrong, wrong. Retract & confess your sins.

As an old colleague once told me "Ah, the English. They are a warlike nation." Not a hint of irony.

I have to say that I too find the "lets have the servicemen along" routine almost as tasteless as the fact that fat massively chinned & gutted, boorish English men sing a Negro Spiritual when it would not much surprise me to discover that many would regard a negro moving into their street as an inconvenient blow to house prices.

Most amusing their use of the services since their nation has a long history of recruiting mercenaries to do their fighting for them.

They are of course welcome to GSTQ, a dull piece of music if ever I heard one, by far the dullest in the 6Ns. I find it hard to seperate the French & Italians anthems, glorious with the Italians perhaps the nest given it almost encompasses two tunes & is generally guldered like no other. The Welsh & Scots are about on a par with the English & Irish tussling for the wooden spoon of anthems with GSTQ winning by a short head.

Of course "Irelands Call" is of course another seriously poor piece of nonsense, though I have bellowed it on many occasions. Indeed I nearly burst a blood vessel on it when surrounded by Argies in Paris at RWC 2007.

It saddened me that a section of chubes were singing the fields when Paddy was kicking

That was frankly a disgrace and people were right to ssssh that

Want to sing the fields, feck off to Limerick

Want to make noise during a kick, feck off to Wales

Can we move Limerick to Wales and be done with it?

It is the UK anthem Baggy. There is no getting away from that. None of the UK countries have individual national anthems. Wales and Scotland use popular songs as anthems and England uses GSTQ. You may not feel any allegiance to the UK anthem but I'd bet you wouldn't boo it or any other anthem.

An outrage? Come on man. There was a time in both Twickers and Lansdowne Road you could hear a pin drop when someone was kicking. That is not the case any more. England are further along the dirty road I will grant but we are moving in the wrong direction also.

West-Briton tendencies. Ah here.

Anthems are dangerous, designed to foster blind allegiance in the masses in the way military discipline does for soldiers.
In this WW1 and irish revolution commemoration season a movement to abolish them would be very healthy

I agree with you JB, there should be none. I could do without politicians/royalty giving their blessings.

Oh feck. There must be something wrong as I agree with Py.
