Kenneth Farrington Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't bother with a poppy now as the meaning of it has been lost. Many a Sunday morning was spent freezing my erse off when I was at BB, but it's nothing but a cricus these days. Anyone who disrupts a minute silence (for anything) is an attention seeking knob end. If you don't want to take part, you can easilly avoid it. Even if it was something I wasn't interested in, I'd still respect it, so it's hard to fathom what these folk are all about. What I can't be bothered with, though, is the folk sitting there with the belt undone & Kleenex at the ready. These folk who can't wait to be offended are nutters as well.

TartanJon Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I was at church yesterday, I support Rangers, I knew there would be issues at the Celtic game, neither club went through my thoughts yesterday. It is getting boring, but doesn't bother me one iota. Don't care who is using the Poppy for what gain, I wear it because I believe it is the right thing to do the last 2 weeks, and I am proud to remember all those killed in war, especially those I knew. Can't be bothered nowadays with those that have an opinion on almost everything and feel they need to voice it, in one ear, out the other. You should do what you want to do and get on with it. Simples. BG would I be right in saying you are ex-forces (or still ) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 That's even worse than Rangers. True, but of course the big difference is that Leicester aren't a club where the fans see the team they support as a conduit for their loyalist/unionist politics....or vice-versa. Leicester's actions just look a bit daft, but carry no deeper or alternative meaning. Rangers.....and I've seen 1st hand their Remembrance Day 'celebrations'.... are pandering to the warped 'traditions' of the lowest common denominator in their support.

wembley67lisbon Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) The comments on Rangers Facebook pages about James Maclean and Celtic are laughable. "They show zero respect for the heroes the stupid Fenian peado bastards" Couldn't make it up. Edit: I don't trawl them btw. Problem with newsfeed and Facebook this stuff regularly shows up on the Timeline. Edited November 9, 2015 by wembley67lisbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The black and tans were police were they not? They were basically a milita that went around destroying private property. Killing folk etc. They were raised ostensibly as a support for local constabulary but wore army uniforms. The basis of policing in this country is based on "policing by consent" this didn't exist in Ireland at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Leicester had a card display (and a helicopter landing on the centre circle with the match ball) Leicester were the first team in England to wear a poppy on their shirt, along with Sunderland.

albathebrave Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's the modern urge to be seen publicly to grieve. When Diana died the country was a feckin joke with folk who only ever read the newspaper fictions greetin and beating their chests in public grief. Those who didn't give a toss were "heartless". More and more folk appear to be addicted to public shows of grief despite not really feeling anything. It's sad and desperate really. I totally agree, one scotland many cultures as we are told. I believe in freedom of speech. The media dictates to us contantly how we should react to things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only three guys that I know of from Saltcoats who played for Scotland,one of whom won a European Cup, scoring for Scotland at Wembley and all three went to the Scouts I believe.

No Scotland No Party Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Aye...had a bit of a go at a mate on Saturday night who said he was "gutted" to miss the commemorations at Ibrox and that the card display looked "class" You sure he didn't say "crass"?
