Will British fans boo our anthem April 19th?

I think they should play the national anthem after the fight, lol. That way the British can't boo the winner's national anthem.

Yeah that should worry the yanks much more. A couple of thousand dole bludgers from Pontypridd or some other godforsaken hellhole north of the M4 descending on Las Vegas will be a sight not seen since Barnum's died a death. I just hope their women don't go over there either - Bush'll declare war on the UK by the time Ole Popkins is picking his teeth up off the floor.

I went to Pontypridd once. Made Luton look friendly in comparison.

I'm from Pontypridd

I agree, booing the anthem was ******, not condoning it but it's just a pantomine part of our 'soccer terrace' culture.

Now I don't understand why you have an R and B singer warbling like mariah carey to the anthem. Surely noone in the crowd can sing along? To the british, the anthem is a kind of war-cry to get everyone singing in unison and motivated for battle. I'm not having a go, just don't get it, if someone sang 'god save the queen' like that at a football match we'd boo our own anthem!

Not that I care that much, but a case in point. Watch this version of the Welsh National Anthem, 80,000 singing as one - it's brilliant!

I would highly recommend you don't go to an important local derby at a "soccer" match in England if you think the NFL crowds are tasty, then **** me pal, you'd have a right shock.

Possibly, but I wouldn't disrespect your anthem or any of the other culture going on at the event. Somethings are good fun. Somethings are sacred and shouldn't be ****ed with by foreigners.

Incidentally, most of the fans coming to see Calzaghe will be Welsh. The majority of Hatton's fans are English.

Is there a difference between the following of Hatton's Brits and Joe's Welsh???

[Mizzou]

i agree

It's not about sensitivity, its about ****ing respect. Unless your in San Fransico or some other ******* haven, it is a great disrespect to **** with the flag or our other rituals. RE ****ING SPECT. That is all it boils down too. When I walk into your house I take off my shoes and don't talk about how bad i want to **** your mom and sister.

[Mizzou]

Someone please enlighten me...isn't Wales more or less Englands *****? Couldn't that be said about the other countries in the U.K.? If there is another one besides scottland?

[Mizzou]

for a country that has spent the last 100 years bombing the **** out of other countries the people are too sensitive about an anthem

Why don't inform yourself on the wars that American's wars. They have all been just except Vietnam and Bush Jr.'s, which I've served two tours of duty in. But your right, in all cases we have bombed the **** out of them and statistically haven't lost a war.

People need to relax. So what if people boo each other's national anthems.... it happens, and it adds to the rivalry and intensity of the match. Just the fact that what made people root for mayweather was the national anthem being booed is an indication how those people's competitive mind was triggered because of it.

People need to relax and take a chill pill.

[Hitman932]

so far as im concerned anyone who voted for bush in the last election is far worse than a drunk brit who boos the anthem.... ultimately a couple ******s booing the anthem fail to damage the integrity of our country. bush meanwhile has ruined our country, its global reputation, and wiped his ass with the constitution.
