Remembrance Sunday

[Gambol]

The world has gone mope crazy.

Sorry to say, mate, it went mope crazy years ago. I blame the Princess of Hearts.

 

[Gambol]

With a wee note inside saying "nuclear warhead"

The note actually says "IOU one nuclear warhead, love and kisses, Department of Defence, xxxx"

...send them home to think again, would be my advice.

Do German Iraqi and Argentine veterans get a flight over for these services? Maybe a few Japanese?

Does the money raised go to any of the above or any victims of our actions in conflicts?

If not I'd have to say the remembrance silence has little to do with remembering anyone other than allied casualties

Pretending it's for everyone is a bit insulting

If you won't be silent then move on until it's over

There were some particularly nasty bastards amongst the Nazis and Japanese but most of the soldiers that die in wars, on all sides, are decent young men who would have had most of their lives to look forward to. When I observe the minute or two of silence I reflect on the senseless waste of life and am thankful that my generation has not had to endure such horror.

There's was and is some nasty Bastards among the British Army.

Well said mate.

 

[stopmeandslapme]

There's was and is some nasty Bastards among the British Army.

I'm sure that's true but not quite on the scale of the Nazis and Japs.

 

[Ciaran]

I'm sure that's true but not quite on the scale of the Nazis and Japs.

Tell that to the people of Dresden and other such places that suffered mass murder.

 

[Girvan Loyal 1690]

Tell that to the people of Dresden and other such places that suffered mass murder.

Can't. They're dead.

 

[stopmeandslapme]

Tell that to the people of Dresden and other such places that suffered mass murder.

That was the airforce

So the Ross County stadium announcer was lying?

 

[Ciaran]

Can't. They're dead.

All of them

 

[Ciaran]

No he was being disingenuous.

 

[DevAdvocate]

No he was being disingenuous.

So are you saying Ross County - or any other Club - cannot have a minute's silence for whichever reason they choose to announce? He said it as an official of Ross County, he had clearly been authorised to make such an announcment so the announcement was made and duly ignored, so in effect the throwbacks in the away end behaved no better than the Bosnian fans, who, if we are to accept as fact, booed France for being anti Islamic...in their view.

Surely that's political too and both sets of fans are to be applauded for their bold stance.

 

[Gambol]

All of them

Aye, victims of murder are generally found to be dead.

No, they booed because the oirish were shouting "Palestine" during what was supposed to be a minutes silence.

It is disingenuous.

They tried the same tactic at a Cliftonville game before. It just so happens that it is the same day people do it to celebrate mass British murders.

'Fraid I'm not buying it.

It wasn't booed anyway, a song about a man killed by the Glorious British Army was sung was it not?

 

[Ciaran]

No, they booed because the oirish were shouting "Palestine" during what was supposed to be a minutes silence.

Shush.
