FFC 1876 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I actually think Lee Miller's out injured so he may not get the glory he seeks on Wednesday. Wasn't in their squad at the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 . I remember the days I could go along to a match and escape the problems of life for an hour without having to worry about this that or another. Now it's stand up for this, sit down for that, minute's silence, minute's applause, folk worrying about the odd flag , stop swearing , don't hate the opposition. There was always a line that shouldn't be crossed of course but Jesus it's getting ridiculous now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkthebigclub Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 These days, if you threaten to kick a complete stranger senseless for merely setting foot in the same sporting arena as you, you'll get thrown in jail. It's a bleedin' liberty! It's Christmas Eve, not Christmas Steve... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most sensible posts I’ve read for some time. I just go to the football for that - to watch football and support my team. All the other political stuff is for elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knee jerk reaction Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 And why do people travel from all over Scotland and elsewhere to watch their local "rangers/celtic" team, the 2 biggest teams in Scotland are based and thrived off politics and religion!! That's why folk get annoyed about flags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it or not, it's been hijacked by the far right and clearly is used to demonstrate an allegiance that has nothing to do with Falkirk or indeed any other club in Scotland - bar one. Christ, I remember it in the sixties at Brockville. It may have been acceptable then (God knows why) but in the current climate, it is abhorrent and represents everything that we as a progressive, open-minded country (and I hope, club) should avoid at all costs. As i was in the North Stand saw the banner being laid out but could not see what was on it, presumed it was just supporting Falkirk. We had a bit of a problem years ago with our social club having quite a bit of Ranger memorbilia in it, this was brought up before Celtic came up to play us in the cup & as far as i know has not returned although with driving to games i am not in the bar often. Going by the comments here the flag could lead to are you Rangers in disguise chants aimed at you & as mentioned upset some of your own support. Your support gave the team plenty encouragement on Saturday they just need to remember its when things are not going their way that the team really need their support 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I was mooching around the Galatasaray website this morning and noticed Fatih Terim complaining about their fans doing the same. Every team's fans are the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of hours where your worries can be left at home. I just can't see what's wrong with wanting that and not constantly reminded of the world's ills wherever you go. Used to be able to do that fine but now everything is being politicised in one way or another. Used to be a minute's silence for an exe player was it but now it's anyone and their dug. What was ever wrong with football just being about football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics should be left at the door and it should be 22 players kicking a ball about a pitch for acouple of hours and nothing more complicated than that . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
