Goadblesser. Aye, she'll be standing in the pishing rain all day. Maybe she should leave a bar on her electric fire for getting back in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Unpopular opinions for this pish, but I can understand clubs laying a wreath at their own memorial before the closest home game to November 11th. It does seem ridiculous this early, but the week around the 11th is now generally international fixtures, so it's either going to be really early or really late, and there will be far less hassle from poppyshaggers if they do it early and get it out of the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing just seems entirely unnecessary from football clubs We have a time and a means to show respect Saturday, 12:30 in October at a football stadium isn’t the time or place in my opinion Especially as this is a relatively new thing for clubs to start doing Edit: You wouldn’t go and lay a wreath in your garden, so I don’t understand why it’s done inside a stadium Wreaths should be laid at the memorial.

10menwent2mow Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 It's gotten daft. If you have a home game on rememberance weekend, have a silence. Lay a wreath. If not. Do it as the away side. If you don't have a game rememberance weekend, so be it. Unless it's Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was strange to have a silence for Walter Smith again yesterday, I'm with you that there is no need to show you care or remember at your home fixtures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty dingus Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Who needs wreaths, I'd like to see Morton get into the true spirit of poppy day by digging a trench along the 18 yard line and planting 1,000s of mines randomly around the park.

velo army Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Bringing remembrance month (celebrating war month) into football grounds leads us on the slippery slope to going full USA where they have military pageantry and the national anthem at every single game. I'm generally against minutes silence too unless it's major or club related. Having a minutes silence for the death of a royal, or for 9/11 etc is goulish and political. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
