Booing God Save Our Gracious Queen

I've sung Gwlad, Gwlad, etc in Welsh, (easier to sing yn Gymreig than write, [is that mutation correct?]), but was disgusted to hear the boos for God Save the Queen.
I love Wales & feel really proud to have my Mynediad Welsh certificate, but this hatred of the British national anthem. Really? Is it necessary?

how funny that a woman has to ask another to bring a cup of tea. How patronishing is that Grin

It's a rugby match not a mumsnet tea party

Tinks42 · 06/02/2015 21:50

Id suggest that you became a bit more supportive of womens sports then maybe I would have that "cup" of tea with you.

The welsh anthem makes me cry. Reminds me of my Dad.

How do you know she isn't supportive of women's sports? Sod it, now we are done for :( work is going to be pants on Monday, blithering yorkshire men telling me all about how we were beaten... Sigh, I am going to bed to watch something else! Night all.

I'd suggest you fuck off and let us enjoy whatever sport we like.

The Welsh anthem is beautiful. Gorgeous melody, opportunity for harmonies and even if you don't speak Welsh the passion of the lyrics is fabulous.

I'm with Billy Connolly - they should just adopt the theme to The Archers and be done.

Lots of cheering coming from the front room, we must be on our way back.

nannynome · 06/02/2015 21:53

Aargh I can't cope, I thought it was all over but it isn't. I am all of a doodah!

crazypenguin · 06/02/2015 21:54

The England ladies kicked bottom this year! They showed the boys how it should be done! Grin

PolaDeVeboise · 06/02/2015 21:54

Tinks you're obviously new around these parts - you can't change the gist of a thread to suit your agenda. Start your own.

Tinks42 · 06/02/2015 21:56

I'd suggest that conditioning is well and truly alive.

God bless the queen Grin

TidyDancer · 06/02/2015 21:56

Nah, still not keen on it. Nice that you're passionate about it DisappointedOne, but it's not for me. I don't have a strong allegiance being both Welsh and English (and German Confused) and don't really like GSTQ either. Prefer LOHAG to both.

nannynome · 06/02/2015 21:56

Arrrrgghhh

crazypenguin · 06/02/2015 21:57

I'm all of a doodah too nannynome! ! Aarrrrgghhhh!! Eeeeeeeepppppppp!

FightOrFlight · 06/02/2015 21:58

Pah. Well done England you fuckers

Tinks42 · 06/02/2015 21:58

No not new at all.

crazypenguin · 06/02/2015 21:59

Yyyyyyeeeeeèsssssssssss!!!!!!

nannynome · 06/02/2015 21:59

Meh. Epic piles of pants. Night all. Good game though even if it went wrong.

chachaboom · 06/02/2015 22:00

Ah bollocks. well played England, good luck with the rest of it Wink Wine

lifelorn · 06/02/2015 22:00

Perhaps the booing of the National Anthem spurred them onto greater glory. Thank you the booers!!!
