TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 There was more applause for Mandela than there was for Henderson, Brand and Wilson at half time. OneDavidCooper and scottishowl 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 How lucky we all live in cosy Scotland, where nobody can conceive any need to use arms in order to achieve something and that anyone who does so is a terrorist.Lucky, lucky us.The PIRA was right to blow up children then? After all they did fight for a "United Ireland". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithgersbear 3,225 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Did they have popular support? Had they attempted to get a United Ireland peacefully?No and no. Entirely different ball game to Mandela.They jumped upon the Civil rights movement and carried out a 30 year campaign for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,824 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Seen a few cunts sitting down and refusing to applaud. Fuck out of our club Two questions:Who made you judge and jury?Would Mandela not have wished for people to be free to choose for themselves whether or not they wanted to applaud?

Ger77 742 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Applause for the dead is a creation to appease the scum.I personally gave it 1mins silence as it should always be to show respect to the dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
better than all the rest 153 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I was looking at our match report on the STV web site and they mention our applause, but if you look at all the other games reports it not even mentioned. Did the media expect us not to hold it, seems strange that it's a focal point of their match review but not for other games Like grounds around the country, a minute of applause took place ahead of kick-off in respect of Nelson Mandela.http://sport.stv.tv/football/252057-rangers-3-0-ayr-united-jon-daly-on-target-once-more-for-rangers/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_Ibrox_Preacher 2,812 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 For me the Mandela applause was much like the card protest,...a lot of people joining in while knowing very little about the reality of the subject in hand. Going along with those that sat near them balancing "their" opinion based upon by who seemed most aggressive and who was in the majority.Our supports beliefs, core values and opinions appear in mass to be as logical and as informed as an "x-factor audience".If I'm right in what I say then I fear we're going in 'one-direction', a country full of simpletons merely concerned with popular opinion and without the ability nor desire to think freely, about what's right/important.I personally abstained from the Mandela applause as I do not see the relevance of it at a Scottish football match when a minutes silence cannot be held for the war dead of this country and others at all our grounds. I personally know little about Mandela other than the popular movie type reading of history we are spoon fed about the man - I have noticed even his extended family is insanely rich now while his country is still a mess. He may or may not be worthy of my respect and I freely admit I'm ignorant on the specifics of his life but I think to applaud the man without the knowledge required to justify the action is stupidity of the highest order and often leads to people becoming 'icons of righteousness' whom are not worthy of that tag.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Right, I'll spell it out for you. Are there any circumstances where resorting to arms is necessary?I know your not meant to answer a question with a question but are there any circumstances when blowing up Joberg train station killing innocents and buses of white kids going to school necessary ??
