TartanTeddy Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Opting for Glasgow versus Bath instead - making the decision a lot easier TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Are Catholics (especially the Irish) who died fighting with the British and Commonwealth forces in WW1 and WW2 deemed worthy of remembrance by "ra peepul" ? Not got a problem with the armed forces, these lads and lassies have my total respect, hell I even tried to join myself when I left school. However it's just the fact that Armed Forces Day has become an exercise in the most awful Americanised, jingoistic nonsense (as best exemplified at Ibrox) that I object to.

Hessen Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) The Unionists sem to think they have the monopoly on Remeberance, because only THEY truly suffered. I was in the forces for 14 years and my dad was for 22 years. Both of us would have been really hacked off to have been asked to stand around like lemons at sporting events. I never felt the need to be hailed as a hero during my time, I was quite happy with a drink, women, and not being attacked by civvies! I can also say that just because these 'heroes' are in uniform doesnt make them worthy of respect, take it from me, a hell of a lot of tossers slip through the selection net.

redstevie007 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Neds with guns shouting no surrender at each other. Lest we forget Don't tar us all with the same brush. I've been asked several times now if I wanted to be part of the Ibrox shenanigans and have always turned it down because I don't want to be associated with it - I even had a stooshie a couple of years ago with a guy I worked with because he was one of the eejits in uniform bouncing up and down in front of the Broomloan Stand. The only Forces parades I've ever taken part in are Remembrance ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail on head, lots of wanks in the army, especially the ones who think on a night out in town that it gies them some sort of right to act like dickheads to everyone elsae. My neighbour served for about 25 years and voted yes, would he be disowned by the Rule Britania brigade? probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Entertaining thread on RM about the Ibrox AF Day being 'watered down'. Plenty of wallopers going on about 'papist' agendas and 'mhedia' bias but a surprising amount of objective comment. http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=274955&view=getnewpost Edited October 19, 2014 by redstevie007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Remember that this has got little or nothing with 'honouring heroes'. It's get everything to do with these cnuts and their twisted view of 'loyalism'. Just look at some of these comments on RM....it's all about keeping their 'traditions'. Shower of arseholes, the sh*te on Scotland's shoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
