Link is broken for me but I assume it’s talking about the booing and the laser?
The laser could have just been one stupendously brain dead individual, but the booing was a collective effort. It’s so obscenely pointless. Has zero effect other than to make the england support look like a collective of pricks. I can’t fathom why anyone would think it’s a good idea
Yes hopefully fixed the link now. The laser is stupid in the extreme but as you say the booing annoys the fuck out of me, especially when you know it winds up players of the opposition as well as a total lack of respect, its even announce don the tannoy before. Mindless idiots.

It was bought to the referees attention early in the 2nd half I think - he stopped the game and went and reported it to the 4th official

Yeah, you saw him waving a mock laser from side to side when he was informing the 4th official

No Surrender! Innit. The stupid thing about booing another Nations National Anthem is the only outcome likely is the players getting a faster start against your team.

National anthems are stupid, football fandom is 90% panto and booing the anthem is part of that. I don’t have a problem with it and wouldn’t clutch my pearls if other nations boo’d god save the queen
That said, I don’t think England fans should boo the Italian anthem on Sunday purely because it’s guaranteed that the Italian players will use that to their advantage. If anything I’d encourage people to sing along to the Italian anthem, really get in their heads

See online that the most likley outcome is a huge fine of c.£8k, but there is the option for the game to have to be replayed.

In the pub. Only Strongbow on tap and can't see the whole screen but maybe that's the price to pay. Come on England.
A pub that only sells Strongbow? 😮

I cannot for the life of me remember where now, but I am 99% certain this sparked a memory of having been in a place over here that had ZERO taps. All bottles and cans. It will turn out I am lying of course, but I am certain this happened.
On the plus side, I have a spot local to me that has 100+ taps!!

Well, the only cider. There was a much more respectable selection of beers (and Tennant's) which I made do with.
