Maybe part of the broader community engagement as part of the work around getting a fanzone? Doesnt make any difference to me tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdave30 8,698 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I’m not really a massive lover of invisible men regardless of what flavour they are. Although I’m not a massive fan of hand wringing, pandering cunts either. Live and let live is a dying game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's probably why the club wont acknowledge it. Okay you got me there with it not being a religious holiday publicly. It wasn't always like that though. I remember my uncle mentioning it being celebrated before the DM years as well. Perhaps older bears can confirm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the club celebrated it 40 years ago is irrelvant to it being acknowledged in 2019 alongside major religious festivals. If we're celebrating battles then Bannockburn or Stirling Bridge would be just as relevant as the Boyne. KingKaiJohansen 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no interest in any religion but there is absolutely nothing wrong with club saying happy ramadan. I live in a country of 3 million Muslims. And I wish them all Ramadan Kareem and Eid Mubarak in a months time. Siam69, Blue Avenger, BlueThunder and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately he's right that it isn't acknowledged as a religious one to everyone outside Northern Ireland. Had a massive brain fart on that debate. However still say that if they are going to mark this one, they will have to now acknowledge ALL Religious holidays which just won't happen. Still would like to see 12th July acknowledged as well to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make a shred of sense. Why would they acknowledge the 12th over, say D-Day or the Somme, for any reason other than to pander to people?
