eosmhdo 1,879 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Did anyone manage to get a picture of this 'Yanks Go Home' banner?There was not a banner that actually said those words I don't think but the sentiment on the others echoed them. Little bit pernickety there I think.There certainly was not one welcoming them, thats for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,592 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I remember a few seasons back the some of the retards on follow follow had a banner at games "we deserve better" it was aimed at Murray but at the time we were having a wee dip in form and losing games and i mentioned players/management would think it meant them.This is a similar scenario when the message gets lost unless you know it's true intention.

It was aimed solely at Bill Miller, as you well know.The "S" at the end of Yank would indicate plural to me.If you are meaning that it was meant towards any American players then I agree it was not, but it was directed not just to Miller but also his team.

Frustrates me when people do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger 270 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 You said there was no anti-american brigade mate.Fuck all to do with who the banner was directed at.You said the banner holders (brigade) did not exist and they did.I said their was no yanks go home brigade.

WaltersGotStyle 159 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 shouldn't have made shit up then.You are full of it mate... You are too interested in the semantics of the situation and not looking at the big picture.Facts are we had fans who singled out the nationality of a bidder. Could you imagine the furore if we had some of the following banners:"Take your money back... black""You ain't getting your cake and eating it... fatty""We don't want you today.. gay"All these messages would be considered prejudice and have no place in today's society. Singling out someone for race, religion or nationality is not acceptable.So stopping the narrow mindedness and admit the banner did more harm than good.
