Roy said sing

Not much singing, they've gone off due to possible lightning strikes Talk may disrupt the later scheduled flight to Rio.

Should have played at HQ and then got a direct flight to Rio on the QPR air Asia plane.

Roy's on now, calm as Bobby in the 89th minute ...says it's a private flight

Not hard no, but it shouldn't be mandatory either, if they're being made to do it, it devalues the gesture. Don't see how having those who don't want to sing mumbling along resentfully will help the team spirit.

I never sing it, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't play my heart out for the national team.

But isn't that the point...they should be bursting with pride, and want to sing it?...Just think it's all part "of the job" to these overpaid prima donnas, and we should be thanking them for turning out for us,
when they should be in the maldives

Says a lot when you're made to sing the national anthem... if I was luckily enough to put the famous 3 lions kit on people would probably be asking me to stop singing it.... I'd be singing it so focking loud and proud, in fact I'd be so overwhelmed with pride I'd probably end up crying

Nah, just don't have a lot of time for rugby. The actual game is fine, and have been thoroughly entertained by a few, and tbh nothing is better than hearing a packed stadium absolutely belt out 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau'

Rugby would be fine if it wasn't for the thug players and the insufferable fans. So insecure in their own sport that they constantly, and I do mean constantly have to belittle football and footballers to convince themselves that rugby is the best thing ever.

You don't get that from any other sports fans, that desperate need to have to define themselves by how much 'better' their sport is than 'kissball'.

My brother-in-law calls it that, and he's not the only one.

Kissball. Because all footballer's are *** and nancy boys compared to proper men like rugby players.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Let's all get drunk, get naked and shove bits of flaming paper up each other arses and sing a load of **** songs about how much we hate women.....

C*nts

Far and away the best post I've ever read on here, why is every rugby fan like this? Footballs for poofs etc, so boring

I want to see them show their passion by winning football games.

Whether they sing the national anthem or not is an unimportant distraction. Everyone is different, and everyone can be patriotic in their different ways. If you feel the need to belt out the anthem, have at it, if you don't want to sing it, you shouldn't be forced to. Not singing it isn't necessarily a sign of disrespect. Judging people's internal level of national pride against you would show it outwardly is foolish IMO

As as I said, I don't like singing the anthem, wouldn't stop me giving absolutely everything for the national side.
