Hang on I thought you didn't "need no poppy to prove this." yet in your second statement you categorically & clearly state you wear a white poppy ?????? Which incidentally came about in the 1930's & it was the Women's co-operative guild that first issued them in 1933 as "a pledge to peace that war must not happen again."

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. :)

To be honest I've never really rated Scottish football, it was always between the big 2, plus the numbers never allowed for the variety that can be found in English or for that matter European football.

Aren't they restructuring the leagues to make it 12-12-18? + Celtic have a young hotbed of talent at their team right now, players the EPL are dying to get their hands on. Ki has already gone, they're after Wanyama, Hooper, Forrest, Izaguirre was being looked at pre-injury, also Forster is on teams targets, especially with his performances against Barca

Also I wouldn't keep going on as if you're some genius, i'll assume you've got all them quotes from wikipedia? ;)

Deary me, you really are making assumptions SR. No, not a genius, but fairly well educated with an interest in happenings internationally, especially those of a historical nature. I am also very well read having a large personal library covering many topical & factual subjects (somewhat more cerebrally challenging than a collection of Viz & Playboy). :)

Wikipedia ..... I wouldn't touch it with yours my friend. I glean my information from other more reliable sources & the internet is an ideal vehicle for searching for such resources. So, are you going to start a new thread or not ? ;)
