DA Baracus Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Fucking hell, the start to MOTD had some tacky cringey garbage there, including tawdry crowd displays, poppy corner flags, linesmen and fourth officials with poppies on their shirts, big screen displays and a huge poppy flag. It's bizarre and sinister and needs to stop. Not just this sort of shit but all of it Get 'Remembrance Day'* to f**k. *Oxymoronic title and has been for years.

MacDuffman Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Saw a twat with a huge poppy on the front of his car today. Must have been 7 or 8 inches. Covered most of his number plate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't blame them really, as they've always highlighted the weekend of remembrance (and rightly so). The tacky extras is all down to the club and tbf motd brushes over it quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Attention-seeking f**k seeks attention on platform built for attention-seeking by accusing attention-seekers of seeking attention by colouring-in an icon worn by people for whom attention is sought. ...says attention-seeker on platform built for, etc etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 When did Poppy Day become so synonymous with football? I can’t think of any other industry where there’s such uproar if every club/business doesn’t doesn’t try their best to out-remember one another.I'm gonna say it's because fitba, despite being the greatest sport in the world, is absolutely crammed full of attention-seeking welts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Seems an iconic picture from Vietnam showing why we should be remembering what wars are really like was deemed too shocking for here. Fair enough, wars weren't in sepia tones in silhouette, they were and are horrendous. Think we need a reminder sometimes when some are trying to romanticise mass slaughter. The picture was shown on newspaper front pages at the time, in spoilers below. Spoiler Edited November 10, 2019 by welshbairn 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Just a shame that in WW1/2 guys from the allied forces were sent to their death to prevent the fascists overtaking and those who champion the poppy the most vociferously in the modern day also seem to be those happiest about the far right taking over Britain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of any other industry where there’s such uproar if every club/business doesn’t doesn’t try their best to out-remember one another. Definitely seemed to kick in about 15 years back. I assume there was an element of political interference to encourage it at the start. Football is a hugely influential industry in the UK and getting that into the culture of the game would make for a much more compliant public when it came to justifying the actions of are lads when they ended up in places like Iraq or wherever else they send them next. Also makes it easier to paper over stuff like the enquiries into Bloody Sunday and the like, as you have a huge number of people who will just look the other way because remember. The tactic was lifted from the US who have used sports as a means to influence public opinion for a very, very long time.
