Why Liverpool fans booed English national anthem at FA Cup final in keeping with tradition

Liverpool fans once again booed the national anthem ahead of the Reds’ FA Cup final with Chelsea at Wembley.

In keeping with tradition, ‘God Save The Queen’ was sung before kick-off at the national stadium alongside 'Abide With Me' but Reds’ fans in attendance booed both tunes. This, however, is something Liverpool fans have done for years.
