youngsy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm 61 and I can't remember it happening either. When did it become established practice? I would think that this sort of thing only came about within the last 7 or 8 years ago, JG. Certainly nothing like this happened during the 50s through to the 2000s, as far as i'm aware.

flyingrodent Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Disgusted to hear McInnes talking about how Logan "allegedly" made abusive remarks to the 4th official. The 4th man has nothing to gain by making up stories, so McInnes must be implying that the ref may be lying. Shocking behaviour, disgraceful.

son of a bankie Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 As you may notice I am a Dumbarton fan. We had a great time at Aberdeen last season. I just cannot remember the Poppy being involved in football until recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 What? You'll need to be more clear about what needs clarification. The actions of the British Army in Ireland is the reason some people disrespect the silence, if you scratch the surface Iraq and Afghanistan are afterthoughts imo.

youngsy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 . Northern Irish people who have a problem with British army for reasons related to the troubles I can see there point and where they are coming from as that is a completely different situation , however that is completely different from some mutant brought up in Royston, Croy, Coatbridge etc who use it as an excuse to give their backwards bigoted agenda some sort of meaning. Point of order here, FB, Henrik is from Coatbridge..............then again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 No. He seriously didn't think it was classy, James. Why do you think the Celtic fans were singling out Logan for abuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramer Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 What sort of reception did Logan receive from the Celtic support? It didn't sound like all 2000 of them were booing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingrodent Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Why do you think the Celtic fans were singling out Logan for abuse? None-too-bright football-related tribalism? I know it's a bit of a stretch, since stupid my-team-right-or-wrong partisanship is practically unheard of in football, but I suggest that it's a possibility.

I asked when the minute's silence on the weekend closest to Rememberance Sunday became established practice at football matches, not why some folk think it's a good idea to disrupt it.

Bloody Sunday happened in January 1972, for an example. From that time until fairly recently, maybe 8 years ago or so, we never seen this sort of disrespect towards Remembrance Day, why has there been such an upsurge in this time as opposed to the 70s, 80s, 90s.

TheCelt67 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Quite a good game of fitba that today. Glad to see the heads didn't go down after losing the first goal, seemed to rally round, players looked really up for it today which is always a good sign, got what we deserved in the end I'd say. Izzy could have walked, Brown shouldn't have. Nae harm to the big man, but Zaluska is murder. Disappointing that there are those who cannot keep quiet for 60 seconds, but that was no real big surprise. Unfortunately there is a section of our support who seem hell bent on causing embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Fume. Didn't do enough to win but never deserved to lose. Did Griffiths have a we kick out at Shay towards the end and how about Pawlett getting a penalty in the first few minutes? Derek spoke well after the match,the goals lost were our responsibility, despite ridiculous decisions from the officials. Hard to take but at least i'm not a celtic fan, base creatures superior only to the cretins on here defending them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingboots Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 We donated £10k to Poppy Scotland instead, as we do every year Your support will be raging at that. Pretty low to disrupt a minutes silence really, but entirely predictable from Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - the Remembrance at football is definitely a post-Diana phenomenon and in my opinion it has been part of the PR response to greater criticism of British military actions around the world.
