northernscum Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Whether the anthems get booed or whatever surely for a few minutes that day namely at 11am we can all come together to remember the dead. Absolutely. I will for one. The anthem thing is just a bit of banter, anyone who takes a wee bit of booing at a song, to heart, really needs to reassess their life priorities!

Bristolhibby Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Shame on you, you should be in the boozer by that time on matchday. "Home" game for me. Will be dropping the kids off at school then heading to the train station. Staying at my cousins in Camden, then a leisurely train back on Saturday.

MikeyHead Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'll be respecting it like I have my whole life but pride is something I won't be feeling. Well put. I agree. I'd like to think the commemoration before the match will be respectful too. But I doubt it. It'll be jingoistic bollocks, squaddies carting on the match ball, union flags fluttering at all corners, chinless wonders like the Duke of York and the Prime Minister in attendance, tannoy demands that we remember all the sacrifices made (but not by those on the wrong end of British imperial power) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Was of the understanding that the commemoration ceremony was the sunday. It is but they still do loads of cringeworthy displays of jingoism and blind worship of the military across the UK in the days before it. There will undoubtedly be something planned for Wembley. But of course, it's pretty much sacrilege to criticise the British military and the many, many dark chapters in it's history, even on the TAMB .............

The English FA, Downing Street and the MOD public relations department will do whatever they want. And UEFA won't want to upset one of the biggest moneymakers they have. Fully expect this game to feature a "celebration" of the armed forces and war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottincarlisle Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Did the SFA not want to mark the 11th a few years ago in Cyprus & UEFA said no. Did we not just have armbands with poppies on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
