Landslide, Casey's vote dramatically increased due to his comments about Travellers (tinkers) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 If you're annoyed at clubs doing one remembrance game a year then you're looking for reasons to be offended. Plenty more crass things to get yourself worked up about. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find the entire idea of a remembrance game a bit silly anyway. 1 minute silence on remembrance weekend is enough, no need for the whole song and dance put on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point here is that is clubs aren't doing it one game a year, because they'll be participating in another clubs' whole hoopla anyway. Why does each club have to do something? Why can't they just join in with the home club if their game is away? Why have poppies on shirts way in advance of whatever game falls on the remembrance weekend? It's all a bit crass and to me oxymoronic in regards to the intent of the original remembrance message. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) If matches were played on 11th November there may have been a minute's silence, I really can't remember, but there was none of this over the top (no pun intended) in your face MUST REMEMBER when I was a regular attender (1963 -73 in Scotland).

Stellaboz Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 4 world cups though. Its fucking great here. At 1111 on the 11th of the 11th begins Karnival season. Everyone gets wasted, it's mayhem in a party sense. Definition of "scenes". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I've only seen them on tv presenters. One week leading up to Remembrance Sunday or Armistice Day is surely enough. I don't know when it became so dragged out although there's definitely much more an element of needing to be seen to be doing something (not just remembrance) these days rather than just quietly doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
