    Question …… Should a manager or player be banned from representing their country for not singing the national anthem?

    Personally, l think they should be banned if they refuse.

    I think the main criteria should be winning football matches. I place singing the national anthem somewhere between their choice of hummus and whether they place their toilet roll up and over or down and under.

    Possibly the most one-sided poll in the history of this award-winning website.

    Nah.....

    I can understand why Carsley didn't sing God Save the King yesterday as he played 40 times for ROI and it would've probably upset a few of the natives.....

    BTW none of the Spanish players ever sing their national anthum, hasn't done them any harm....

    I’d like to see the football and cricket teams do a haka. Maybe even the Kiwi golfers before majors. Oooh look at us doing a little dance pretending to be warriors- grow up.

    I wonder if Ricky Gervais has seen this - pure The Office and some. Makes me laugh every time I see it and illustrates just how far we’ve moved on thankfully.

    There are no words to the Spanish National Anthem, Trammers, so that makes life easy for the players in the Spanish national team. Maybe just the right-hand over the heart, I dunno?

    I stand to be corrected, but as I understood it there were lyrics added during the Franco regeim, hence the players refuse to sign it, although the crowd at the football seemed to be signing it...... all very confusing.....
