DW1872 1,204 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I know it's been mentioned on here before but there's a petition set up on change.org to have our wartime titles officially recognised. Probably won't make any difference but the more signatures the better. No-one else will fight our corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Müller 340 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Genuinely signed it as a wind up but the petition raises valid points. Hibs and other diddy teams have their cups/honours recognised but we don't? It'll never happen but another fine instance of sporting integrity Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some valid points and facts. I agree it won't happen but at least it might raise some awareness of the achievements of the club during that period.

McEwan's Lager 30,259 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Some people within our support really need to fucking educate themselves.

Billy1984 6,314 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We slagged them for the strip the titles patter, I know it's not exactly the same but it's a no from me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theulstervolunteer 1,859 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Don't want them tbh in order to pay respect.....on the other hand It could be used as a PR stunt to put the question to the club officially then through club1872 release a statement that although we are entitled to them we have decided to decline them in respect to those who have lost their life during the conflict ...

Not important obviously in the grand scheme of what was happening in the world at that point but if some clubs have honours from that period recognised so should we.

TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Would rather respect those affected and killed in the wartime events and not try to clutch at straws. taig-like patter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Will Follow Rangers 12,892 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Embarrassing. The one aspect of the wartime years that does slightly annoy me is that the tarriers dont acknowledge our 8-1 victory over them in 43, yet in true tarrier style they count the goal scored by them in their total against us.

SPWF 8,117 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Even without those titles and trophies we're still the most successful team in the world. Let's leave embarrassing petitions about titles to the yahoos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_n1 536 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 No for me Only thing that should be recognised is the sacrifice made by our servicemen and women things like this is what separates us from the wee diddy teams also football wasn't official during the Second World War Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 70,782 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Smacks of fear that they are getting closer to our haul. some people need to grow a set and stop stooping to taig levels trying to dig this pish up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
