Why Liverpool fans boo the national anthem as loud jeers heard ahead of Carabao Cup final

As part of the pre-match traditions, both sets of players and managers lined up on the pitch before God Save the King was sung.After the club's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' sounded out over the tannoy, fans could be heard singing,"You can stick your coronation up your a***" and"F*** the tories" during the game.

The disdain towards the establishment is related to the Conservative government's mismanagement of the city in the 1980s and the failings for the Hillsborough disaster, where 97 Liverpool fans died, at the end of the decade.“It’s something Liverpool fans have done for such a long time. It’s always been an anti-establishment protest. Something that is deep-rooted in the city, the socialism of the city and for those who died at Hillsborough.

“It feels like a movement and a protest and one that’s not always maybe respected — people just jump on it as something that would upset the king or something. It was the same with Prince William at Wembley last season, when Liverpool fans booed the anthem while he was there. It’s not necessarily about him or the royal family necessarily.“That’s the important point to make: it’s about the establishment as a whole, this conglomerate of things that Liverpool fans disagree with.

He commented: “It all ties in as well to the patriotism that most people from the city don’t associate with.“You see it when major tournaments come around with the England football team as well, it all feeds into the same thing. That’s not their identity. That’s not who they are. “There’s a feeling that those people don’t represent them. It’s just a world away from some guy having a crown put on his head in London. What relevance has that got to the lives of people in this city? Especially people who have been treated so badly by the establishment for so long.”Liverpool fans boo national anthem on the day of King Charles' coronationBoxing
