It's the same every year the decay of the social fabric in Scotland belongs firmly at the SNP doorstep.
Its a nonsense the SFA give them the platform to do this.
I think there is possibly an argument that the poppy has been overly politicised in recent years. This is unfair on those that choose to observe it. What happened to those objecting taking their seats after the silence? Surely that was a reasonable compromise?
We get told time n time again that politics has no place in football. Leave this stuff to the cenotaph or in private. When it was just ww1 and ww2 we respected them but not when u force illegal wars on us and also forget about the deaths in the war in Ireland by British forces
Imagine Irish, Kenyans, Indians, Malaysiams, Aboriginals, Maori etc... not being in love with British Army war criminals?
Appalling behaviour not to appreciate and celebrate British War Christmas.
Yeah, we always hear that apparently most of the Celtic support is appalled by the a ton of their fans.
So why don't you finally do something about it?
Fight to get them out of your club for good.
Of course you do. And why did you comment?
Why should any group of people be forced to partake in a performative and prescriptive gesture? To be told what to do, when and for how long?
What other sports do a 1 minute silence?
Think for your self for a minute - try that
I’m no huge fan of over-zealous jingoistic remembrance, but stood in silence at a very well-done, respectful and well-observed short ceremony @MontroseFC on Saturday…it’s not much to ask
Different for a lot of us Murdo. Many of our loved ones died so their families could get the old handshake at the interview or what school did you go to. I respect all who died for a cause they believe in. Many were duped with a more equitable life that they did not get. Sad
They can't be that appalled if it happens every year, it's the same as the peadophile ring at the club they didn't say anything about it, not that decent are they.
There's war memorials in Catholic Churh grounds, there's plenty of war hero's with connections to the club (William Angus) and loads of serving and retired soldiers in the UK army. The small minority have been amplified in recent years, I don't know what they can do to stop them.
