Carsley said that he has never sung a national anthem as Ireland player or England coach and is set to stick with that stance.
LEE CARSLEY HAS come under pressure from sections of England ’s media after indicating that he will not sing either the Irish or English national anthems in the Aviva Stadium this evening.
“This is something that I always struggled with when I was playing for Ireland,” Birmingham-born Carsley said of anthems. Carsley’s comments provoked a backlash in Saturday’s papers, most notably in the Daily Telegraph where chief football correspondent Jason Burt argued that “if Carsley doesn’t sing anthem, he can’t expect to manage England”.
