eejay the dj 31,964 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Not much you can say about this other than it's a poor show. Ross County and their fans being denied the chance to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice because a section of the Celtic support can't be trusted to keep their loathsome views to themselves for a full 60 seconds is depressing, but hardly surprising.

Paul Ignotus 49 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 No takers on that one ?It's a fair point and I'll take it. Remembrance has to be only about honouring those who've given their lives for our freedom, nothing else is important compared to that. For once, and for one day only, the clubs we love take second place to that. Those who died maybe didn't even like football or supported clubs we don't like. And they were probably of all religions and none. So if theres going to be crap because of idiots that will hurt those who still mourn I'd say better off not doing it at all.

The Widow's Son 399 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 In discussions with a Celtic fan I know, we agreed to disagree. I raised the issue of Celtic's reluctance to embrace Remembrance commemorations (he always wears a poppy and is an auxiliary member of the Royal Canadian Legion) and he pointed out that when British soldiers were dying in Afghanistan and Iraq, our club was evading paying taxes which might have properly equipped them. As I said, agree to disagree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Every year this same issue comes around, yet it seems to be passed up by the media time and time again. Shameful actions by these clubs in this country's top flight. Can you imagine the uproar if this ever happened at Old Trafford or White Hart Lane???

We won the case and it was so we could pay bigger salaries to better players.Plus whilst our waens were learning the game ira fc youngsters were being raped Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Widow's Son 399 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Tomorrow at 11am, I will read "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae as I always do on November 11th. Was lucky enough to visit McCrae's house (now a museum) in Guelph, Ontario, some years ago and enjoyed the experience. I have a sizeable collection of photos of WW1 monuments in Canada which I hope to scan and put on a blog someday soon. Trouble is, you're never as busy as when you retire.Read "In Flanders Fields" if you get the chance.Remember our fathers, brave and bold.

Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 No takers on that one ?Do you honestly think Doncaster will arrange an old firm game on remembrance weekend?Ho ho ho ho ho ho! It's a non question. Liewell would ensure it doesn't happen.Anyway, and back to the main point, this, ahem, 'oversight' by both Ross County and Plastic Whistle should be discussed with a few MP's at the next local surgery in your area. Commemoration of our fallen soldiers should be mandatory - with no excuses! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueThunder 8,452 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Given the amount of clubs who didn't observe the minutes silence in the SPFL, Ra Sellic will no do doubt say, and continue to say, they are only keeping in line with the general feeling of other clubs. The fact that other clubs are now behaving this way is disgusting. Welcome to the Scotland of the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Shameful display from scotlands supposed top league ,when only one game holds a minutes silence in respects to our fallen .

But to answer your original question if there was no way of ensuring the silence could be honoured respectfully it shouldn't go ahead for the reasons I mentioned. And Rangers should make it fully clear beforehand that the reason it isn't going ahead is because the need to honour the dead respectfully comes before everything else, and Rangers couldn't guarrantee that would be the case at that game.As other posters have said though, heaven and earth would be moved to avoid that fixture taking place then.
