Whereas the more common Red Poppy came into being in 1921 & was adopted by the RBL with the intention of supporting veterans, their families, widows & orphans of the "Great war".
Anyway lecture on Poppies over & onto my grasp of History, I think you'll find my understanding of history & British history in particular is quite wide ranging & encompassing, making your statement moot.
So once again I suggest that we return this thread back to Jock footy & if you want to discus this further start a new & relevant thread.  |
Thanks Dave, this was never supposed to go down the road of sectarianism, it was all about the very poor quality of football as a whole over the border, can't believe how poor it is, ESPN are even showing 3 division games because Ranger are playing in that league, but they aren't the Rangers of old they will be in the wilderness for a very long time
