Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 On 09/11/2022 at 04:28, Satoshi said: I hardly think it's a surprise that McGeady, a player who, at the time, had only ever played in Scotland, chose to play for Ireland was getting booed. Of course he would be getting booed, whether he chose to represent Ireland or someone else. For fans buying tickets in the home end, it's daft, and whilst it wouldn't bother me if they do it - they must realise there's a chance they will get some stick. Especially if they make it obvious they are supporting the away team. And I think McClean probably booed because he's booed everywhere he plays, not because the tartan army hates Irish Catholics. Some will, undoubtedly, but if you look hard enough you will find complete dafties in any large group of people. Used to see Mcgeady and his wee group of pals in the pubs etc when I was out in my student days, he was a wee throbber so im behind anyone who boos him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to clear up that the concrete industry just don't care. Next you'll be telling us you didn't have Flanders field as your virtual background today. If it had been Flanders Car Park in the first place, maybe the war wouldn't have happened 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicate Flower Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Wasn't at a Scottish game today (bad cold) but watching Wolves here and the stadium announcement says showing respect for those who lost their lives in conflict AND members of armed forces today who put their lives at risk protecting us. What? The first part is what I thought Remembrance was about, certainly used to be. The second part can get tae. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 They had some OTT stuff before the Newcastle game, It's not over anytime soon, they are still going on about Guy Fawkes and that was quite a long time ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worse the RoI does that every day on RTE at 6 pm for the Angelus prayer. Think folk have become increasingly mental about Remembrance day in recent years because the soldiers who actually went through WWI and WWII are no longer around to tell them to get a grip and show some proper decorum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The main man himself netted direct from a corner in Wigan's win against Blackpool today. I'm envisioning some proper heads-gone from the poppy fascists in the stands. Lovely stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McLean's Ghost Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Some carry on up at Perth today. A minister giving a sermon without a microphone, a silence, the last post, another silence, a 3 minute lone piper, another silence and then some othe bugle nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, there is a good bit of truth in that. Because a lot of people are no longer connected to these events then they just make it another fun time event on the calendar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Saw Willo Flood in the wine aisle at Tesco earlier. Like me, he wasn't wearing a poppy. We refrained from high-fiving each other. Either him or his other half is a Rose drinker, which I 've got to admit, kind of ruined the moment.
