Romeo Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Oh ffs, you're a really bitter person aren't you. I've not agreed with everything the British Army have done in the name of the British people but at the end of the day they have put this country the usa and Saudi Arabia, first and foremost. Just too add if the armed forces were against their personnel participating in the events at Ibrox do you think they'd sanction it.

Monkey Tennis Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just too add if the armed forces were against their personnel participating in the events at Ibrox do you think they'd sanction it. They were strongly opposed to the nature of last year's Remembrance scenes, said so and declared that nothing like it should happen again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngsy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I bet that suing machine is a singer. Not as good as this one though. I was there that night, Donalds dulcet tones were just superb, not a sectarian word was sang by the man all night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have they sanctioned this celebration? I would say as they haven't came out against it that would be a yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as someone who has a brother who was a serving soldier who was wounded,(shot in the buttocks while on the retreat I hasten too add), I applaud them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingrodent Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just while folk are talking about it, the whole point of that poppy protest was that it forced loads of Celtic fans to take a pro or anti position on a topic that not many of them actually care about that much. There was no popular discontent about the poppy thing at Parkhead until a bunch of absolute roasters decided to make a big thing of it. Sadly, the very act and the massive negative press made many of us take a stance on it, where we - and everybody else - should've said, "What a bunch of arseholes" and then got on with it as usual. The blazing furore was the whole point of it. When Celtic fans who wouldn't otherwise have cared defended it, these morons chuckled and gave each other high-fives. Don't dignify them with a response - ignore them. They represent a near-extinct breed, which is why they're forced to resort to PR stunts like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendarroch Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just because you invite a few of yir 'wee scheemie Ranker' pals (that somehow managed to bypass the IQ test for the military) that like behaving like clowns at a circus ... doesn't mean the rest of us are pleased to associated with a trailer trash club. Even the military's top brass condemn the 'freak-show' and it's participants at Ibrokes on Remembrance Day Manchester clearly defines your supporters of your club old and new ... You can pretend they are not representative ... but it are. Your act isn't washing Dhensest - I doubt your fellow plastics are buying it either - your trying too hard to be disrespectful to your fellow soldiers to appease the sporting wingers. Your their enemy within - literally. Did you not see earlier in the thread how you are regarded by the plastics? Scum they called you. Bloostained wasn't it? Aye, that's it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngsy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Again read the statement youngsy. What ya reckon, good or bad?? Read that ages ago. I'm speaking of this particular occasion, nothing else. Tell me this, are you just against this because it's Rangers or would you be so appalled if it was any other club in the UK that had events such as this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, did you read what that Major Eales bloke said? He came out utterly unequivocally in his opposition to the celebratory nature of the event? How can his comments possibly be interpreted differently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearwithme Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Again read the statement youngsy. What ya reckon, good or bad?? Major General Eeles will be at Ibrox tomorrow and has thanked Rangers: 'RANGERS will welcome more than 400 Armed Services personnel to Ibrox on Saturday as part of a special event to honour them. They will be led out on to the pitch at half-time by an Army band to receive applause from fans. Royal Marine commandos, led by Sergeant Jeffrey, will abseil into the stadium before the kick-off against Stenhousemuir and hand the match ball over to the referee. Representatives from each branch of the Armed Services will also lead the teams out on to the pitch. The club is also playing host to senior representatives from each branch of the UK Forces in the directors' box, including Major General Nick Eeles, General Officer Commanding Scotland. He thanked Rangers for inviting the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army, and Royal Air Force to the match. Rangers' boss Ally McCoist said he was sure fans would give them "an amazing Ibrox welcome". http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/rangers-in-tribute-to-uk-forces-137486n.22249685 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotbawmad Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Looks like the SFA are giving another helping hand to a certain blue outfit. By offering not to sanction them. If they fail to provide audited accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The powers that be" that you're talking about are Celtic FC. I trust their judgement better than I do a bunch of yahoos who turned us into a figure of national approbrium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendarroch Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Aye shooting poverty stricken people in an unwinnable war in the desert. Commendable.
