64 children killed by British troops, hopefully this moves folk back to the never again territory rather than spunking their pants over folk in uniform.

What's the story of honour and glory?

Is the glory bit not the antithesis of remembrance?

Yes, very much so.

I said in another thread that it was, as usual, tacky, moronic and deeply disrespectful.

It's getting to feel a lot like Poppymas...

They didn't die a glorious death they were largely sent to their deaths for almost no reason in WW1 particularly in the trench.

By all accounts, having never experienced it they wouldn't tell you their story using two positive adjectives. 

And as it's that club and they are constantly at it perhaps shouting will help...

IF YOU RESPECT VETERANS AND THE DEAD PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES 

or sit down, shut up and put your stauner away.

South Ayrshire Council playing a strong hand in staunch top trumps, by deciding to paint poppies on bits of spare grass in the town.

Here they are preparing the ground by doing some kind of zombie dance.

That’s a lot of red lights and men holding their weapons. They’ll attract the wrong type of bears if they’re not careful. 

ROXANNEEEEE!

The 2 arse cheeks pretty much did f**k all to support the war effort in WW2.  Yet here we have arse cheek blue(version2.0)playing the part of staunch armed forces club. Shameless. 

 

Much has been made of the Ibrox club retaining their players while such as Hibs, with 30, and Motherwell, who had 13, delivered many men to the front. Celtic supporters of a certain vintage will argue blind their club lost many influential players in contrast to their ancient rivals. Yet Crampsey notes that both clubs were criticised for the “microscopic contribution” they made to the war effort in this respect. He states that, of the 22 players that were regular first-teamers immediately before the war, only two from each “ended up in uniform”.
