Poison ivy up their rectums wouldn't go amiss.

Some fans* (and a small amount at that)

But hey don't let that stop you from generalising against the entire club and fanbase with your insulting comments aimed towards them, some of the fans actually tried to get them to shut up too and massive amounts of fans have expressed their disgust at what happened....

I also think it was completely disrespectful, but if you look into what they were singing and why then you may understand a little bit more about why they don't respect the British Army, which btw is solely their choice.

I don't feel that FM's are 'Jumping On The Bandwagon' Cherie. If they have similar opinions in reaction to a specific event, then obviously, they are going to post similar views.

For myself, I believe that anyone who refuses to observe a mere one minute's silence in respect for all the fallen on Remembrance Sunday, are vile, ignorant pricks - which is exactly what I posted.

My comments are aimed specifically at those who refused to comply - not at the Club, nor all the fans, nor Scotland, nor anyone else - just those who refused.

It would not matter an iota to me if the offending people were English fans at an Irish match, or Irish fans at a Welsh match.

I think there is some obvious jumping on the bandwagon type comments in the thread Kirk tbf.

Kirk, why not applaud the 99 per cent who upheld the silence rather than give a platform to the 1per cent that didn't I guess I look for the positives rather than dwelling on the negatives

Because it only takes 1% to disrupt a silence. Because it's a silence.

Again, shame on that 1%.

I remarked specifically on the 'negative' aspect Cherie, because the original post was specifically about those 'fans' who did not observe the silence, but I do applaud, not only those who did pay their respects, but - after Josy enlightened me with his post - also those fans who tried in vain to persuade the dissenting fans to comply, and those who subsequently condemned those dissenters.

Speed Bumps - 'Sleeping Policemen'.

The above is what I would say to anyone if I were pressed to give a two word answer to all that is wrong with our society.

'Sleeping Policemen' are an admission - not only - that some drivers will not adhere to the speed limits on some of our roads -- despite an intrinsic Moral Code, inherent intelligence, instruction, guidance, and the Law -- but also, that we are actually powerless to make these bastards comply. Hence, Speed Bumps are built into these roads.

Speed Bumps; the cost of which installation and maintenance have to be paid for by all of us drivers who do comply with the law, annoy the hell out those of us who do comply with Law, and cause additional wear and tear to the vehicles of those of us who do comply with Law.

In other words - Speed Bumps are an example of how in a Democracy an ignorant, selfish minority actually impose their will upon the vast majority.

Last night 4 days after Bonfire Night, as with the 7 days before Bonfire Night, very, very loud 'Bangers' and 'Rockets' were being set off by a couple of households nearby us. This started around 6.30 pm and went on until about 10.30 pm, ruining ours - and our other neighbours - evening, and frightening our dogs beyond the expected and accepted 'traditional' couple of days 'Guy Fawkes' celebrations. This is yet another example of how an ignorant and selfish mindless minority, impose their will upon the decent, considerate majority.

Boorish idiots talking and laughing loudly in the cinema, ignorant and brazen 'queue jumpers' and 'dragged up' yobbos who piss in the street outside pubs and clubs - carelessly exposing themselves to passers by into the bargain -- the examples go on.

And the mindless, selfish minority who acted so disgustingly during the one minutes silence, marring the ceremony for the majority who wanted to pay their respects to the fallen by observing the silence, are just another example.

The trouble is, that this minority is growing year by year and their total disregard for others, arrogantly increasing with each successive generation.

The above all said, then I stand by my condemnation of the ignorant and vile fans in question, and all that they represent.

Yes,I agree with this. Talking about respect,where I was this morning at a remembrance service for the silence,was a park and the chatting just continued between a good number of people during the 2 minutes silence.

I agree, you cannot tarnish a Country or even all the fans of a club,or even tha club for what only some of their fans do.

Some football fans are very tribal and they behave awful at times, but I do think it's just a vocal minority.

[Livia]

I was at the Cenotaph this morning, you could have heard a pin drop.

I'm disgusted by the fans who disrupted the silence. Whatever their views of the British Army, around 35,000 Irish soldiers died in WW1, and around 9,000 died in WW2, around half of them from the south. Shame on those fans.
