No National Anthem Sunday

[80sCasual]

Don't want to offend the welsh so the FA are pulling the plug on the anthems, I thought it was the English League cup.

Yet again welsh teams get their way in England, wtf?

Welsh team to represent us in Europa Cup too if they win, whatever next?

****ing disgrace..we live in a country afraid to offend anyone, what a ridiculous position to be in.

[Connell10]

got to agree that is a disgrace, if the welsh teams dont like it pull out of the english league and play in the welsh league! what a joke!

Worse thing is the point that its their ****ing National Anthem as well as ours

Again we are the only Country in the World that is ashamed of its own identity

Exactly, it's the British anthem not the English one.... Absolute disgrace.

If they want to act like they don't like being part of Britain and don't want to be associated to the National Anthem, then let them F$&k off and fend for themselves as a country...

They wouldn't generate enough revenue to rubber up when they go on their next sheep hunt!

And it they don't like what we do in OUR league cup they shouldn't enter the thing, or more to the point, they should be excluded if they spout rubbish like "the anthem could offend our supporters so please don't play it".

[northampton rs]

It should be a rule at the start of the compition that all teams must sign. If they don't agree, don't take part simple as that. ****ing sheepshaggers.

hope the ****ing Welsh ***** get hammered

[kingy10]

We have become the laughing stock of the world.

If we can keep every minority happy at the expense of the majority then we will. Absolute disgrace.

There shouldn't even be a question of playing it as it's the British anthem ffs.

If they disrespect it can't the Queen arrange for them all to be beheaded or something....

Exactly this!!!,what the f**k is the matter with the FA. I presume it is our FA that have come up with this ridiculous idea?
There have been Welshman dying for Britain in 2 world wars and probably more
recently as well, that's dying for Queen and country.
F**king FA should stfu and stop looking for problems that aren't there.
God can you imagine if they do coax gay players out of the closet,
we'll probably have a rendition of YMCA before every cup final!

Why the f### are we always bowing sdown to these Welsh C#### because we might offend them its the English football league cup for F### sake, if they dont like it dont f#####g enter it. this would never be allowed to happen in rugby RFU got more backbone than F.A & F.L put together, can you see RFU not playing anthem at Twickenham never, they also play LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY to go with it the real English Anthem

If they don't play the anthem, does that mean that welsh supporters are racist?

no it means that if we played the English anthem as we do for every final then the F.A. feel that might upset the Welsh..... apologists frightened of offending anyone. Surprised they will allow the St George flag at the stadium in case it upsets ANY OTHER nationality.
