That's actually the longer version of God Save the Queen, it's the Anthem of Great Britain. Didn't hear this complaint when they play the Anthem for any past winners of medals for GB.

The Olympics died a long time ago.

Now its full of drug takers, professional multi millionaires and the OCC is more concerned with McDonalds, Coca Cola, Adidas and keeping you out of the stadium if you wear the wrong t-shirt.:rolleyes:

That's the same in the Championsleague. If you dare to hang a banner over one of them advertising boards, you get a fine and your club gets in trouble by the UEFA...so it happened to Borussia Dortmund in Germany some 10 years ago. 'Inappropriate behaviour of the supporters', as they called it :mad:
