Cronulla V Newcastle match... an annoyance.

I was disappointed to see only the Australian National Anthem sung.

We are celebrating ANZAC day which stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

We have many New Zealanders in the league and many turn up to watch the games. It was disappointing to say the least.

Got that of my chest.. feel somewhat better.

I wanted to see the USA national anthem sung.

Obv neither team is from USA, but still....

OP

Last I looked both teams were from AUS-TRA-LIA

Get over yourself

That was last night. Last night was not ANZAC Day.


And there were more than just aussies and kiwis at Gallipoli. Do you want the other anthems played too?

The reition of the anthem last night was the worst one I've ever heard. It sounded like an audition for "Australian Idol".

 

[all ears]

what has amazed me is that the australian national anthem was not sung either. the words were correct (mostly) but to a made up tune. no one could sing along, if you noticed the crowd was silent through out.
What on earth were they thinking. they had war heros with chest covered medals distrispected like that. very angry and embarrassed.

This was an annoyance. The OP... not so much.

i'll bet she didn't even know the real tune. adam hills(spicks and specks) did a better version to the tune of working class man

 

[Didgi]

:lol: Adam Hills is a funny funny man. The anthem last night was shocking.

 

[Ausguy]

agree she tried to "hip hop" it up... i hated it.

 

[Rovelli]

Not a big deal IMHO.

Tonight at the Storm/Warriors they should play both though.

I was at the game last night the Anthem was sung beautifully.

 

[Joker's Wild]

I thought it was good

It's a tough song for any singer to do well

Yeah that is why we have Rememberance Day. You know the 11 hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Anzac Remembers Australians AND New Zealanders.

Lest we forget indeed. They forgot a whole country.

Soooooooooo.. We forget what half of the name ANZAC stands for.

It should not matter what country the game was played in. I would be just as annoyed if the game were in New Zealand and they only played/sung their anthem.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Yet this morning at the service I was at on an Australian military base they only played the Australian anthem. Should they too have played God defend NZ?

Your arguement is stupid

Wake up to yourself you dill, for starters it was the 24th of April at 7:30 last night, dawn this morning they play "The Last Post" in honour of our fallen soldiers, ffs how old are you??

 

[Serc]

Our anthem was terrible....

 

[Timmah]

Fantastic rendition today at the SFS, a military person sung it and did it properly. Only place I think it's really 100% necessary to sing the NZ anthem would be at the Melb/NZ game.
