www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10816643/Prince-William-BOOED-Wembley-crowd-FA-Cup-Final.html"The jeers started during a rendition of the Christian hymn Abide With Me by the 60-strong B Positive Choir, whose members have sickle cell disease or who have close friends or family suffering from it. It erupted again as Prince William was introduced to the crowd and began shaking the hands of the players. The booing and jeers reached their peak during the National Anthem. Connor O'Neill, football writer for the Liverpool Echo, said Liverpool fans 'are well known' for booing God Save The Queen at Wembley and claimed that the reasons date from the city's antipathy towards Margaret Thatcher's Tory government in the 1980s. He said: 'The Conservative Government's 'managed decline' of the city was then followed by the failings of the Government following the Hillsborough disaster, which further entrenched those feelings.' There were also reports of supporters booing the National Anthem earlier this year, when Liverpool played Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final, also held at Wembley. Former BBC Royal Correspondent Michael Cole described the booing as 'disgraceful and deplorable' and called for the Football Association to take action. He also criticised BBC football commentators for failing to even mention the Liverpool fans' 'repulsive behaviour'."

It's because the Liverpool fans are Liverpool fans.
Personally when they booed him presenting the Cup the FA should have gone fine you are not being presented with it publicly š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£

Personally could not care less one way or another but don't really get the criticism of the BBC; not the first time it's happened, won't be the last and we don't live in some authoritarian dictatorship where you can't criticise the supreme leaders. No big deal, move on.

Only Liverpool fans could link Maggie T, or Boris for that matter, to our Royal Family and National Anthem. Boo politicians by all means, but don't make idiots of yourselves by booing royalty at an event being seen by the world. As above, booing the presenter of the cup = no public presentation - maybe that should happen next time Liverpool win the FA Cup in 2038.

And they wonder why they're the most hated fanbase in the UK.
They've booed GSTQ before. Hardly a surprise.
Though their warped justification seems to centre on the hatred of one ex PM and/or one political party.
Disrespecting the armed forces and 'Abide with me' - the hymn that is played at funerals up and down the land is shocking even by their standards.
The absence of any widespread criticism is astonishing. Let's remember the outrage when City fans booed the minutes silence for Hillsborough.
Are the two comparable? Some may argue not but given that 'Abide with me' is sacred to so many people I would say it probably is.
Ashamed of nothing. Offended by everything.
Come on City. Hala Madrid.

Who bloody cares? The national anthem is garbage anyway.
A silver spooned, rich bloke getting booed is hardly the beginning of a revolution either.
Another non-story in the Heil designed to rile up their mostly gammon readership. I wonder what the Tories are going to sneak through under the radar while people are getting all enraged over this.

Think any respect for the Royal Family is about to end fairly soon once old Lizzie goes to roost.
You have to be certain age to have known another ruling monarch so we have always grown up with her as head.
I'm past 60 now and still appreciate the queen to a small degree mainly a historical thing growing up, but far less than the surviving older generation still with us.
I've got absolutely no respect for the rest of the reprobates, if I never heard about them again for the rest of my life I wouldnt give a stuff tbh.

Fine so long as they and their club donāt expect any respect from the rest of us.
Iād like to say how dreadful and what a shock but I really wasnāt surprised in any way at such behaviour. Even taking the Anthem out of the occasion to boo during Abide with Me was totally uncalled for. I would imagine that quite a few of the funerals held after Hillsboro contained that hymn.

Liverpool supporters like to view themselves as some sort of downtrodden underclass, despite the fact that hardly any of them actually come from Liverpool. And I bet even fewer of them were actually seriously affected by Thatcherās government.
Iād imagine a rather sizeable portion of supporters in the Liverpool end yesterday are from the Home Counties.

Under Thatcher, they suffered too. White collar workers voted for her to get tough with the unions, not realising she meant their unions.

Funny how Everton fans can bring themselves to not boo their own country's national anthem tells you everything you need to know Although to put that theory to the test, Everton would need to get themselves to a cup final.

Just the truth, at 95 and with current health issues there doesnt seem much other way to dress it up. Whether its weeks, months or a few years it's not going to be very long is it.

Let themselves down and recently every time they play at home, we have to endure them singing their own anthem before the kick off worst club and fans in the world, not a care for anyone but themselves and even that statement is dubious I've never really liked them much

You seem to be confusing the ceremonial head of state with the leader of the government - that's not been a good look for a monarchist since 1649.

i cant imagine how upseting it must have been for the choir.
"The jeers started during a rendition of the Christian hymn Abide With Me by the 60-strong B Positive Choir, whose members have sickle cell disease or who have close friends or family suffering from it.

All I'm saying is that two-penny halfpenny politicians come and go - usually going because they have let us down. The monarchy goes on, and is the backbone of Britishness. It's on the whole good to have a ceremonial head of state.
