It's that time of year again.
- Thread starter 26+6=1

The only way that ratbag Haig should be remembered each year is by an effigy of him being placed on top of a bonfire, hopefully snuggled up to one of Thatcher.Original poppy day
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig has had the unenviable reputation of being the worst British general of all time, a bone-headed “donkey” who threw away the lives of his men in futile attacks
When his generals at Verdun told him the battle was costing 10,000 of their mens lives a day his reply was to tell them to get in touch with Blighty and order an extra ten thousand recruits a day
Utter monster of a man

Very touching 26+ , I was torn between a sad emoji or an angry emoji , chose sad though I'm equally as angry.
This should be rolled out everytime the club are castigated for not wearing the imperialistic poppy.
Also while were on about poppys , let's not mention the ' empire ' and the war for control of the poppy/opium with China
( conveniently forgotten) .
The Qing dynasty, ceded Hong Kong 1842 to the British Empire through the signing of the Chuenpi Convention to end the first opium war making Hong Kong a British colony.
For The British Empire of course this wasnt enough, and so began a second opium war, forcing the Qing dynasty once more to cede more territory in 1860, Kowloon, which led to the new territories being leased to the empire for the next 99 years.
No one wants to talk about that though do they?
No , how many Chinese people lost their lives?, how many families lost loved ones for the empires insatiable desire to control the opium route?
Oh we dont talk about that
The absolute brass neck to choose the poppy as the flower of remembrance is typically pathetic.

Here’s an interesting tweet about football during the war years, as this time of the year the Huns go overboard with their “poppy porn” and their quest of have the “war” titles awarded to the imaginary 55 titles, the most stunning statement…. out of the Huns 1939 squad only 3 joined the armed forces with only “one” yes just the one out of a squad of around 30 saw active service overseas the rest hid like shirking cowards in the shipyards next to ibrox
For aw the hun lurkers, you have no shame, you couldn’t gie them a rid next wi a blowtorch

well done BB, good work mhate.No doubt being in the ludge meant they were medically exempt or some pish.
Wheres that tar and they white feathers noo?
They have no shame , it's for the rest of the country to be ashamed for them.
Bang on mhate , blow torch wouldnt singe their necks.
This is a truly awesome post by Daniel O'Connell and a superb find by your good self ma friend.
It shows them up for what they were , and what they aspire to be once more , cowards.
Odds on the ludge getting them joabs in the yards or mines would likely be 1/500 on.
That's £1 for every half a grand bet.
Enough to buy the old original rangers matchday lotto ticket or the club itself as both had the same value.
Looking through the replies, I came across some belters that deserve to be posted like these
11pence!! 11pence !!
50,000 supporters and a collection bucket for armed forces day and the total sum is £4836 , divvied between 50,000 on average that works out to 11pence per head.
God save the Queen/King , singing the anthem etc ..all bs when it comes down to putting their hands in their pockets.
Miserable cnuts.
I'd be embarrassed to give that to a ham n egger oan Argyle st.
Meanwhile just this week over at paradise , the original and true reason for the formation of our beloved Celtic was once more repeated , a football club to help the poor.
Food banks before the game.
We know who we are, what we are, why we are and have and always will stay true to our origins and unbroken 135 years of that historical fact ☘
This other one deserves to be posted as well
The ultimate embarrassment, Pathe News covered EVERYTHING all over the world but too ashamed to show the news from home because they knew what kind of reaction it would generate.
Eternal thanks to my Da for giving me the gift of Celtic ive been forever blessed and grateful since

Yes, it is that time of year again. A time that brings, for me, many mixed; and conflicting, thoughts and emotions. Those emotions include sadness, anger, gratitude,....and bewilderment. You see, as someone who feels not a jot of loyalty to the British crown, or indeed the ruling classes, I am also aware of the wider picture. I ask myself if I can forget, for a day, the indisputable evidence of atrocities committed against many of the world's peoples in the name of The British Crown. I think Samuel Johnson summed it up best when he said " patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel ". But, occasionally, wars simply have to be fought.
I'm not pacifist: although I know the terrible cost war inflicts on humanity; I also know how fortunate I am to be of a generation which didn't have to endure the unimaginable horrors of war. That's where both the sorro and the gratitude comes in. I don't think we'll ever really be able to quantify how much we owe to those who perished.
The vermin who hijack the feelings of predominantly decent folk in order to weaponise this time of year are beneath contempt. No more to be said about them.
Could go on: but I'll spare you good folk the burden of reading my thoughts.

As mentioned previously, it's your personal choice, wear a poppy, don't wear a poppy, makes absolutely no difference to yours truly
I wear one to honour the memory of my family members who served in WW1 and WW2, some gave the ultimate sacrifice, and never returned
The wee guy in the middle is my Dad, who would have faced Goliath
So, have your own thoughts, and respect who you like, hate who you like
On this day, I remember my family members, who are no longer with us and who did their duty when called upon, in the fight against the Nazis
Have a pleasant weekend

I don’t wear a poppy, whilst I’m full of admiration for the brave men that were conscripted and fought and died in ww1 and ww2, at to an extent those who fought in the Korea as those were on national service….but EVERY other war/conflict since have be fought by “professional“ soldiers, they signed up to serve, fight and die, they took the queens shilling, they aw knew what they signed up for……

Perhaps the wrong thread; but since it's that time of year, I thought it might be ok to post what for me is perhaps the best anti-war song ever written.
Eric Bogle composed the song after visiting various burial sites in France. It was a riposte to what he considered the unacceptable anti-Irish racism in British society.
He found the grave of Willie Mc Bride, who was a young Irishman, ( County Armagh ).
The lyrics ,especially in the closing couple of verses, are particularly poignant .

A poem from the trenches
Don't leave me in this dark cauld place
I'd like to go back hame
This country is alien tae me
And jist isnae quite the same
I'd like tae see ma mammy now
and sit here for an hour
Tae talk tae me as a her wee boy
And mibbe leave a flower
Ano I'm surrounded here
with boys who met their fate
But I'd like tae know ye visit me
But fear noo it's too late
Mibbe wan day mammy
You'll find money and a plane
And come and sit beside me here
I'll always be yer wean
A don't suppose it matters
Where ma body lies wherever
All always be the same boy ma
And be yer wee boy forever
ANON
