topcat(The most tip top) Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 BBC iPlayer still has Reporting Scotland from last night here but it's only available until 6:30 tonight. The exact quote I'm referring to begins at 1:46 - "Police estimate around 4000 people were taking part in today's parade, which is expected to be one of the biggest in Scotland this year" There are plenty sources for the police estimates for the AOUB marches. Here's the first few I found: AOUB Dumfries: STV News "A Police Scotland spokesman said: "An estimated 10,000 people took part in today's procession in Dumfries."" AOUB Stirling: BBC News "Organisers and police estimated 15,000 people took part in Saturday's march" AOUB Glasgow: The Guardian "Police Scotland estimated that 35,000 supporters turned out for the march" Edited to add: I've obviously mixed up the Stirling & Dumfries attendances in my original post. The figures above are the correct ones. My main point still stands, however - the estimated attendance at the smallest All Under One Banner march is still two and a half times larger than "one of the biggest in Scotland this year", with AOUB marches still to be held in Dundee (August 18th) and Edinburgh (October 6th). I'm 100% certain that these marches wil attract significantly higher attendance than Cowdenbeath, but will recieve less airtime on Reporting Scotland. Ok I’d got the wrong end of the stick because I didn’t realise what AOUB stood for I thought it was some other kind of orangery 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocrites every one of them. Seems the new mono-brow response to folk saying anything about orange fannies stomping about town is whataboutery regarding the recent Indy marches and how utterly divisive (®) they were. I get that folk have hobbies and interests but imagine being immersed in something as prehistoric and as utterly pointless as Orangism, they fucking love it as well, I don't think they understand the rest of us are pointing-and-laughing at them as they waddle past with their wee daft bunnets on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 To paraphrase Spike Milligan's "Adolf Hitler: My part in his downfall": "The first mournful wails of the flute and thump of the lambeg drum were heard coming down the road. 'It's an Orange march' said a Cowden director "Quick, get the begging bowls out..' As a fundraiser for the Blue Brazil they should have rerouted the march into Central Park, locked the doors and charged the bigoted feckers money to get out again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what Cowdenbeath has to do with Battle of the Boyne. Last season they had a Billy in charge*, some Apprentice Boys on loan and their goal difference for the season was 16:90. But apart from that, nothing. *who often fell afoul of the little men in black. Historic Jacobite/referee joke there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
