peever1745 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 That was after the war. Ok then but there was an uprising going on in Ireland in 1916. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Why should they? Remembrance is this weekend. This. After Tuesday the poppy is off for another year. No need for anything official. I'm sure the SFA laid a reath in Glasgow today, no? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Our clubs have have remembered them, will the SFA remember then on Friday? No, absolutely not please. We do not want to give these idiots, like those that sang pro IRA songs and disrespected the minute's silence, today at Pittodrie, another platform to polute the air with their tripe. I don't mean the genuine supporters from Ireland, I mean these idiots that sing about things and people like Bobby Sands, and probably don't have a clue about who he was or what he did/believed (rightly or wrongly), or have never even been to Ireland. Please let's not give them an opportunity to make any political mileage out of this, and just concentrate on a football match between two proud nations who have a genuine infinity between each other !

Blantyre_Braveheart Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Flora - in the North maybe. The Republic remained neutral in WWII. While the Irish were neutral during WWII, they were assiting the allied forces by the end and as said by others many Irish moved over to fight against the Nazi's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a report by one of Churchill's cabinet that blows a few myths out of the water: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II#The_Cranborne_report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
