Alright mate, we're going up now and will be meeting a few of the bhoys who went up for the night. Be in the Squirrel for about 12 if ye want to put her through that

 

Just get the job done Bhoys.

 

Would love to see a resounding victory , involving an avalanche of Celtic goals . But due to this being the last leg in 6 leg accumulator , I'd grab any win . Go on Celtic , secure those 3 points . And make my bet a winner too !

 

'mon the hoops, get them pumped.!!

 

With all due respect to your uncle, who like all the fallen (civillian and military) absolutely deserves to be remembered with respect, your very valid point about him says nothing about this day and this silence.

If they stop commemorating it by having a massive military parade, union jacks everywhere and inviting royals, generals and warmongering politicians to lay wreathes for the cameras, I'll believe it is about people like your uncle and not a massive propaganda exercise in legitimating and even celebrating the very people and structures that caused and still cause to this day so many tragic deaths.

In my view anyone who wants to break the silence for these reasons is fully entitled to do so (although personally I try to ignore it and get on with whatever I am doing at the time rather than upsetting people around me). May your uncle and all those like him rest in peace, mate. Absolutely no disrespect meant towards them from here.

 

Thank you for your reply. As it is I agree with everything you say with the exception of breaking the silence. The poppy as a symbol, though I never bothered with it, has basically since the Falklands War been hijacked by successive governments and organisations to somehow justify illegal conflicts and occupations and has lost any credibility it may have had. Nevertheless if there is a minute's silence and it means something deep to many people then I believe it should be observed. If there was none today I'm quite capable of honouring the fallen of two World Wars in my own way.

 

Everyone is "capable" of doing it. Some however choose not to. It's a matter of personal conscience whether you do or not. There is no right or wrong answer. You do what you want and let others do the same.

 

Intae these * today Celtic

 

Its sick asking Celtic fans to observe this charade that is nothing more than a massive money collecting exercise so that the people who caused these wars (and still are) don't have pay for the people who were wounded in them.

* their silence!

5-1 tae the Hoops.

 

Just stay in the pub for an extra round and stoat into the game a few minutes late. Win - win.

 

Think after Thursdays exertions we'll be off the pace a bit,hopefully Lennon utilises the squad a bit for this.Would be great to see Griffith's back getting game time.2-0 the Hoops

 

Ok iv been convinced.

 

Respectfully disrespectful.

 

No up today as these * can't drink Sunday and then work Monday, however yeah that's what I've always done and I'm sure the pubs round the ground will be packed at kick off the day.

 

The way we're playing these days, doing that might see you missing a goal or two.

 

I don't take much convincing for one more but on a day like today I'm sold.

In the office I just leave my desk and go make a coffee a few minutes before.

Let people who want to, do it.

 

Crow will put them up later

 

Maybe.
