bcfctim Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 3 hours ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: As someone whose parents were both from or near Cardiff, and who was brought up to think of myself as Welsh (even though I’ve never lived in Wales), it’s hard to explain the passion that the Welsh national anthem generates. It really is something very very special, and the fact that everyone sings it is quite something. Sadly the dirge that is God Save the Queen will never achieve that level of passion and why should it? It’s a song about a German family, not about the country itself . Also the passion of national anthems is completely undermined by having some third-rate opera singer warbling away, so leave it to the crowd. Cardiff fans are passionate like City fans are, and fair play to them for that. I’m sure we both have a few nutters, but for me the Severnside Derby now has real bite to it, which has to be a good thing. The Welsh national anthem is fantastic. It's very annoying. I hate to say it's better than ours but it is so much better than ours. Same goes for all of the other home nations, really. Admit to being rather jealous. I'll sing GSTQ proudly but it doesn't quite get the hairs up on the back of the neck like I imagine they must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve long thought that GSTQ should become the British Royal anthem, played on state occassions and when royals are present. La Marseilliase always gets the hairs standing on the back of my neck, especially at Stade de France. I like Italy’s Il Canto degli Italiano too. Like the Welsh one, they are both rousing and get he crowd going. Even the septics have a half-decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how a change will come about though. Whatever you think of it (and i think it's quite a common view it's a bit rubbish) it's ingrained in the national pysche and I don't see a demand for a popular vote on whether to change it really coming from anywhere. Maybe we should start a petition! I would say to keep it as a British anthem for the Olympics and suchlike, plus royal events as you say, but I don't see why we can't have our own separate one for England as Wales and Scotland do. *Interesting Northern Ireland don't, apparently, which I hadn't realised until I thought about it now.

Steward removes it. Next thing chant goes up “we want our sheep back” I think it was the ref that kicked the sheep off of the pitch by the corner flag. A bloke near me was on about reporting him to the RSPCA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
