Apparently liverpool fans booed the national anthem at the FA cup final.
Does anyone know the back story to this? Is liverpool anti Royal?

Why did Liverpool fans boo the national anthem?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) talk about the proposed new stadium, season ticket prices, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and all things INEOS after the first year of their co-ownership.
They also discuss back-to-back victories vs. Real Sociedad and Leicester City - was this the best week for Amorim so far?
It's their whole 'scouse not English' thing.
They see themselves as Scouse not English
Cause they think they're better than everyone else and always have.
They should all be arrested
I would too, feck that national anthem and that family.
Cause they have a healthy disdain for it.
Same reason United fans routinely sing over the anthem.
Did they boo the anthem as well?
They are against the establishment which doesn't care for any of us ordinary folks. Got no problem with Liverpool fans showing their feelings.

Oh yeah show your solidarity but when the Scousers take over this country we'll all be speaking scouse and singing you'll never walk alone. Being a United fan will be punishable by death.
Are we sure that isn't an improvement?
Everyone should boo the Royal family.
William is a Tory guy. Seems to have a revolving door of Tory staff. Whatever happened to royals being politically neutral?
Don't think that ever existed. Perhaps ostensibly, but behind closed doors? nah
Imagine booing your own national anthem 
Yeah, there’s only one who has any kind of vague claim at not being outright Tory and him and his wife have been attacked endlessly for it to the point they moved away.
Yeah I agree. Just seems more blatant with him. Anyway, I think more is being made of this than it should be.
I saw someone posted something somewhere on some politicians wanting an investigation into the fans who booed. Like that is what should be talked about. Their reaction is crazy. Should we now be arrested for booing?
The Royal family as an institution is neutral but its members aren't.
Because their one true queen is Cilla Black
You'd never see this sort of thing in Ireland. Nothing but pride for the national anthem
It happened as recently as the FA Youth Cup Final. "World Champions twice..."
True. However, we are constantly reminded by the royal friendly reporters that the royals themselves are neutral. Hence my sarcastic comment
How weird. Revoke their citizenship the ungrateful animals.
And deported. That bit is very important.
The Royal Family? Agreed.
Scouseland have been campaigning for independence since 1389.
King Kenny will be installed as head of state.

It's a little more complicated. Our anthem is focused on the Queen. Someone who inherited her position and doesn't speak up or out on behalf of her people. Have nothing against her, just puzzled why a whole national anthem should be about one individual...Imagine booing your own national anthem
I personally wouldn't boo the anthem, but I won't condemn anyone who boos this anthem which is in essence glorifying a privileged individual.

I think a better investigation would be into why some Liverpool fans feel strongly enough to boo the anthem, and what could be done to perhaps rectify those grievances. But I suppose it is easier for them to conclude that such disdain comes from false foundations
Scouseland 
. Wonder what kind of food they serve in Scouseland...
. Wonder what kind of food they serve in Scouseland...Agree with you 100% but we both know that won't happen. The 'establishment' don't care to know.
That's a tough one to call.
Imagine booing your own national anthem
It's not even their National anthem. It's just an homage to the royals. I can see why some wouldn't hold any truck with it.
Because United had a club over country movement and Liverpool tucked in behind us.
I assume they boo their players who play for england then
Scouseland
Scouse.
Imagine booing your own national anthem
If "Flower of Scotland" was played before the Scottish cup final, Celtic and Rangers fans would boo it.*
*Not the ones who support Scotland. Just the ones who think they're English/Republic of Irish/Northern Irish.
I'm Manc not English.
Though I wouldn't boo the anthem any more than I'd boo, say, an ABBA song.
I guess this puts paid to all the hand wringing over England fans booing anthems at the Euros. They're just songs that are tributes to nationalism.
Best thing the little rats have done.
And yes, United were there first. It took off in the 90s. A lot of anti-England sentiment (and chants) from local fans.
With all due respect to non-local fans, it's hard to understand how screwed over northern cities have been by the London establishment. And that disaffection comes out in different ways at different times.
As a counterpoint it's not even about patriotism. It's specifically anti-establishment and anti-royalist. Different things, and I will defend anyone's right to boo their anthem. Even the dippers.
