[QUOTE="Cliffyboy, post: 763366, member: 65120"] Interesting comments on the anthems. It's a complete mystery to me, why we, i.e., England, do not have a separate anthem to play, instead of the National Anthem. Small wonder it gets booed by many of the Irish, Welsh and Scottish supporters, when being played, seeing as, strictly speaking, it's the anthem for the whole country, Great Britain. Like many other English people, I so didn't want Scotland to break away from the U.K., but heavens above, there's actually a written verse in the anthem, though it's never sung, that includes the lines: 'May he sedition hush,/and like a torrent rush,/Rebellious Scots to crush,/God save the King/Queen.' I mean, really, it's a boring anthem, in the first place, but if I was Scottish, I'd see red every time it was played, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
