I found the whole thing a jingoistic load of nonsense. Im sick of the whole "our heroes" rubbish. It used to be that you had to show bravery in a war to be considered a hero, now attendance is enough. They arent heroes, they're mugs.

It seems to have taken on alot more importance in the rangers support in the last few years. Can't remember before that, such a fuss being made about it.

Maybe so, i dunno maybe they already had it planned? Or maybe only planned after wed who knows.

Its like when a team try n get a song to no1 and have a charity behind it, the next week their rivals do it "for a charity" , its funny how they had no intention till their rivals tried to get a song to no1.

Rangers fans on twitter etc giving it " 400 troops on the park, wouldn't see the Celtic sc.um dae that"

Excuse me pal, I think you will find hardly any other club in Britain didn't either.

Rangers fans in work, asking me why I haven't been wearing a poppy and is it because i'm a tim wtf is the deal with that? Why has it become so important to them?

The heroes are the guys in the world wars who were conscripted and made to go and do and see horrible things. Guys who didn't want to go but had to.

I've respect for the job these guys in the services do now, but heroes? Not for me.

Does anyone actually think that the UK and US Armies are in Afghanistan for anything other than money?
Afghanistan has massive mineral deposits - why'd you think the Russkis were there?

Iv always said this, people say about soldiers that they shouldnt be in war and places like iraq.

Even as a child u know what a soldier does, if u sign up as a soldier you should expect to war.

That said i feel for the families who lose their fathers, sons, daughters, mothers, brothers, sisters etc.

Rnr, a lot of these guys live vicariously through others, they dont see the horror of war only the glory. As for rangers having that display, probably to appease the tub thumpers. They have an image to up hold dont you know

I use remembrance sunday to think about the horror of men who died who were forced to go to war by conscription. The event at Ibrox couldnt be further from this. it was more like a gala fun day based on the military. oooh, look at the big loud gun and the guys abseiling off the stand.

I think it was cheap and innappropriate.

very good

you think we just did a display because you did one?

we have done poppy displays before and will continue to do so

Celtic have to do their displays at Champions league matches , because a display missing 20000 people would be pathetic.
