It's happened before...

Spain's state television network TVE has sacked its sports chief after the channel censored boos and hissing that greeted the national anthem at the country's football cup final.
Fans from the Catalan team Barcelona and the Basque team Athletic de Bilbao greeted the Royal March with cat-whistles and the stamping of feet when it was played before Spain's King Juan Carlos and 55,000 spectators who gathered for the final of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.

Sri Lanka has a problem with Tamils, Serbia still doesn't recognise Kosovo's independence, Westminster is happy that the Scottish independence referendum failed and as for Spain?
Don't put all your Basques in one exit. :D

Coat please.

Very good ! - Two years ago there was a sale of t-shirts in the Arsenal club shop so I bought the Mikel Arteta photo example. Asked my son if he thought it acceptable for a grown man to be seen wearing a basque in public !

I know, I saw the TVE coverage, the other channel's coverage, and the weeks of "tertulianos" (Spanish shouting matches between panels of paid "experts") afterwards.
This time it should be even better though: back then they hadn't had all the shenanigans about Catalan referendums, for example. :D :D

Madrid lose at Bilbao :D :D :D

Fantastic news. Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of Madridsta's :p
