northernscum Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 London is apparently quite a big place, so I am sure everyone who wants to have an organised meet up will find somewhere else. Personally I will not be attending the ceremony, and therefore will be nowhere near Trafalgar square during the day. Anyone who decides that a Scotland fans piss up party is more important and turns up anyway is a complete W4nker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden View Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Its traditional and it happens to be fun and that's why our Dads and Granpas went to Trafalgar Square...........fun. Some might prefer the pub. Fine, go to the pub then. Some might prefer something else, go for it. Do whatever you want, there are no rules! If Trafalgar Square is not the same as previous jaunts I'll be disappointed but there you go. I'll find somewhere else I'm sure. P.S. It was freezing in 1999 but still bouncing.

The main reason to stay away is the Remembrance Day thing that's going on. I hope no one heads anywhere near it to drink as people will be their paying respects and seeing all the Poppy's in the fountain. They don't want to see a hoard of drunk idiot scotsman clambering around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt there will still be a few complete twats who will turn up and make a complete arse of themselves, but I hope the vast majority will either show proper respect, or stay away altogether.

neilypiece Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 If anyone want's to show their respect - pin Scottish poppy pin badges are available on the Poppy Scotland website. Lest we forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Christ, how many more of these uprighteous posts do we need repeating all this ? We get it, it's Remembrance Day and people shouldn't act like a fannies. That goes without saying. We don't need a hundred posts with cliche phrases reminding us of it every few days. Give it a rest. In the interests of balance an ever increasing number of us think that it's turned into a crass celebration of militarism and want nothing to do with it.

Hampden View Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I think, along with 99.9% of Tartan Army, I am more than capable of visiting Trafalgar Square and gauging the appropriate behaviour................which may or may not result in vacating if it's not appropriate to be there. Perhaps it might even be a positive display of Tartan Army showing respect and good behaviour, although the English press are hell bent on bursting our bubble to deflect form their own fans' hooliganism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
