Although I can understand why it might piss some people if they don't sing the National Anthem as they are representing Team GB but I do think they have the freedom of choice to sing what they want.

TheBoyDave 123 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Although it is a personal decision I think it would show a bit of class to sing the anthem.Perhaps England should have a different anthem or the national anthem should mention Scotland,England,Wales and Northern Ireland.

TheBoyDave 123 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well it is God Save The Queen.................and she is the Queen of those mentioned above.Correct and I have no issue with the anthem but the reason I said mentioning all 4 of the home nations is to take away the "thats the England anthem I am not singing that"(arguement/mentality).

caseyjones 3,009 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 GSTQ is the National Anthem of ALL the home nations. Having daft songs to replace it is fucking pathetic, and has mainly been caused by the various seperatist groups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brubear 2,933 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I notice none of them who don't want to sing it out of principle were principled enough to turn down selection for a GB team, so therefore should respect the GB national anthem.

Typical bitter old, uneducated SNP prick. She shouldn't have played if thats how she felt. Classless little ned but no surprise if that's the family that dragged her up.
