aye not holding a minutes applause for Mandela is worse than destroying fir park. Why should any football club hold a minutes silence for a for a foreign politician? Ex-terrorist to boot.
The whole world, except one five or six hectare area of Govan commemorate the memory of one of the greatest humans ever to live and here we have the WE ARROW PEOPLE claiming MANDELLA was a terrorist. Btw did any of your ancestors fight against Nazism.............if they did, why? Surely this is a contradiction. Freedom should not depend on the colour of your skin. Always find it ironic that Glasgow airport in July and August is crowded with people wearing the colours of a certain football club, now deceased, but replaced by a clone, flying off to Mediterranean countries to get a tan, yet they themselves are happy to discriminate against other humans because of the colour of their skin, which they themselves are trying to achieve. Your Sir, are mad. Nelson MANDELLA was a great human being. Does the fact that the whole world, except the tip you visit once a fortnight, is in mourning over this great humans demise, suggest that there is something wrong with YOU. Given the history of the SFA, rfc now deceased, with sectarian employment policies and sectarian chants and singing accompanied by Nazi salutes, your attitude is not surprising, JUST RATHER SAD.
PS a couple of dozen seats btw does not equate to the destruction of a stadium. If you wish to see what that really means may I direct you to the Camp Nou in 1972 after the ECWC final. Part of the stadium museum is devoted to the destruction of the stadium and the attempt at one point to burn it down, but for the vigilance of what we today call stewards. All simply because the majority of the Spanish population were Roman Catholic.
The question still remains: why should any sporting club have a minutes applause for the death of a foreign politician? Did we hold one when hugo Chavez died? No. Why not?
Read a couple of Sunday rags ,both had articles on Keith Lasley moaning about his booking . Moaning about a goal being offside that was clearly onside and he was fouled in the build up !!!!!did he want the ref to cheat in the same way he did with the puki penalty , now there is a soft booking .
Heres a chap Nelson was in prison with ... please log in to view this image Govan Mbeki ... freedom fighter now ?
Naw, it isn't. A show of respect for someone almost universally admired. Using Chavez as an example is sophism on a Bobby Sands/William Wallace level.
He was the first dead foreign president who sprung to mind that's all. Most elected man of all time too. Apart from Mugabe
He has more streets and buildings called after him all over the world than any other freedom fighter of the twentieth century .
Yeah, all very well, but does he have one named after him where it really counts......GOVAN OR SHANKHILL. Doesn't count otherwise. GA thought NM was a terrorist. What a dickhead.
