Singing the anthem or not seems of very little importance. Show some pride on the pitch is enough.

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995" |

Hey, hey, hey, I thought WE were the ones who got wound up about anthems and issued Fatwas on any player who doesn't sing it. Oh well, that must be something else you've stolen from us (you can keep Shane Duffus, mind). Anyhow, why don't you get a Celeb to sing it for the Boys? After her recent brush with racism, Roseanne Barr could probably do with the fee: Edited by Territorial - 17 Nov 2020 at 12:35am |

It was fairly obvious that Borussia made a joke! Anthems are just unnecessary pomp and ceremony, who gives a f**k who sings it or doesn't. What if they don't believe in the words? I know lads who are republic supporting English lads, atheist to, if they got picked would they not care? McGinn, and a few others, did alright for the North without having a sing-song. Anyway, they are more likely to sing it before a game that is of some importance. Friendly matches and pointless quasi-competitive games in a now meaningless competition wouldn't inspire Pavarotti!

Some irony in the fact that Wales and Scotland seem to be very passionate about singing their anthems..

Aha we have now stumbled upon football's biggest conundrum, how not to be sh*t anymore. The mighty Scotsmen of highlandry qualify for a 50% chance of qualification tournament, it can only be the singing of the anthem. Lets not look beyond the past 20 years of failure though.

Too right - Our forefathers did not fight for our freedom so that players could stand there and decide of their own free will whether they will sing or not. Disgraceful!!

I think it’s a disgrace that our players don’t bless themselves anymore when they walk on the pitch. Maybe that’s why we can’t score goals. The South Americans always bless themselves and always cry singing their national anthems. Maybe it gives them a competitive advantage along with their superior technique.

I dont think our anthem is the best from a musical perspective. If I was to compare it to ther other 6 nations in rugby, then id say it is 5th in the list ahead of only god save the queen. I like the Welsh the best.
That said, i do think it would help if the players sang it with a bit more passion in terms of getting up for the fight, or showing the opposition your passion. Think to the Ireland vs England Rugby match in Croke Park and the passion players and the fans had that day, I dont think there was any way we we going to be beaten Edited by t_rAndy - 17 Nov 2020 at 10:48am |

It should be sang at a quicker tempo than it's played by the band.
