mjw Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Minutes silence at middlesborough today. 9 days after the 11th. 30 seconds silence and 30 seconds applause to be slightly different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like buying your Xmas cards in January, the more frugal could pick up next year's remembering token gratis.

Gordon EF Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) If the poppy is a symbol to commemorate all war dead then it also commemorates terrorists who died in the war on terror. Quite right of FIFA to ban this vile symbol IMO. Edited to add "IMO". Edited November 20, 2016 by Gordon EF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was "support our boys" back in 1919. It is political. If the Japanese started wearing commemorations to their war dead some countries would go apesh*t, or the Israelis, or even the Iranians over the Iran\Iraq war. Fifa and Eufa have rules, we know the rules, we chose to break them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Turkey do the same while playing Armenia. Serbia/Croatia/Bosnia/Macedonia/Montenegro/Kosovo can all have a go. No potential for any problems there. I'd suggest that if anyone doesn't understand why the poppy is political, they don't comprehend what politics is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I'd love to see England/ Scotland play the ROI around Easter, with them wearing their white flower the use to commemorate their heros who fought for their freedom against us, I wonder what the reaction would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Going to Benidorm for a weekender next year to see my mate off to Australia and one of my *** friends has himself a new top for it....

MONKMAN Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I wouldn't be seen in public with any of my mates if they were wearing that. On the other hand, none of my mates would actually be seen wearing anything as horrific in public. Also, grown men using terms like "inner bear" is equally tragic and embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 November is salute to service month in the NFL. You can buy camouflage team jerseys, merchandise ,players wear cammo gloves and towels. There are military parades on every ground. All at every game for a whole month. I predict we will have this in less than 5 years. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I wouldn't be seen in public with any of my mates, if they were wearing that. On the other hand, none of my mates would actually be seen wearing anything as horrific in public, even the rangers supporting ones. I never knew he had it in him to be fair. He's English and ex navy, big forest fan too, right into the Rule Brittania shite. Should've figured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 You should watch the Ibrox Benidorm Bar's Orange Walk video from August this year. Not that it's any good... just that it's only had 20 views so I feel a bit sorry for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
