Values not politics.

522

I don’t know if Scotland have ever worn a poppy but I suspect the SFA have been landed in this issue against their will by association with the FA in England. Fifa have indicated it is a political symbol and prohibited its attachment to football shirts. The FA and SFA plan to disregard that ruling and wear the poppy anyway.

Deliberately defying the rules is laced with Moral Hazard for the SFA, which will not be lost on the decision makers at Hampden. For years to come this act will be cited as evidence of double standards. It provides evidence for those who object to its very recent inclusion in football ceremony on the basis that politics should have no place in football.

Of course, declining to follow the FA’s lead would be a political act in itself, but one which fell within the rules.

I’m firmly of the belief that politics (as opposed to values) should have no place in football. I know this is a utopian aspiration, as sport and politics are inextricably linked, but only because trumpets continually insist on making them so.

    Most of the people I know today have the same allegiance to their country as their primary school.

    To be fair, I just saw Rooney’s goal … what a strike. Not sure he has ever struck a ball more sweetly

    Thanks , mate.

     

    Individuals pick their side and feel obligated to run with the pack.

     

    The huns love the Queen.

     

    Therefore I must hate the Queen.

     

    OR , the huns determine my attitude .

     

    That will never happen.

     

    About anything.

     

     

    …………………………………………………………………………..

     

     

    I was actually talking about the way she, and Remember she is just an individual after all, she Respected what had happened in the Past when in Dublin.

     

     

    Judging so much Now is well…..

     

     

    She, despite being so old, knows whats happening.

    HH Dude

  4. What’s the plan?

     

    I’ll reveal some of it to you.

     

     

    What’s the plan? To not let you consciously advance

     

    With mindless radio and television programs

     

    Doping you up with new grand’s of illegal contraband

     

    Once again activated the hand of the son of man

     

    No regards for life no chance for yours

     

    Lies and more tax dollars financing wars

     

    While you partying ignoring the news they sign laws

     

    Deceptively forming methods to keep you behind bars

     

    Who rules the planet the people who’s over them

     

    The president ain’t number one he got powers controlling him

     

    Long before 9/11 nationwide fraud

     

    America had been the master of the inside job

     

    Anytime there was a tragedy the face was in the picture (yeah)

     

    When the Rothschild family was breaking bread with Hitler

     

    And all they ever did was enslave you and pillage you

     

    Stop honoring and country that’s responsible for killing you

     

     

    [Chorus: Sniper]h

     

    Sound the alarm

     

    The government is try’na do us harm

     

    Don’t worry bout the weather it’s a comet in the storm

     

    Pay attention to the mission cause they wolves is out to get you

     

    Either do as they say or they’ll take you out the picture

     

     

    [K-Rino:]

     

    What’s the plan? To profit off the poor man’s habits

     

    Pharmaceutical corps made a nation of drug addicts

     

    They don’t wanna cure they want money while you a dope fiend

     

    I see the devil every time I look at Osteen

     

    It’s hell in the ghetto but it’s better in the ‘burbs

     

    Country under control of the Federal Reserve

     

    Wicked regime formed back in 1913

     

    Our international bankers rule presidents and kings

     

    The truth covered up by the media water moccasins

     

    Crush Bill O’Reilly, Hannity and Pat Robertson

     

    All the evil alphabets, they can go to hell

     

    F.B.I., C.I.A. and ADL

     

    D.E.A. the court system let’s implode

     

    The judge probably wearing some panties under his robe (yeah)

     

    They know that rule is over and that God’s gonna get ’em

     

    But the plan is to try to take the whole world with ’em

     

     

    [Chorus x2]

     

     

    [Verse 3:]

     

    These snakes are pressing Mexicans with border patrol

     

    Try’na keep you off their own land – the land that they stole

     

    Hypocrites, satanic people out to harm ya

     

    Took Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California

     

    In human life, they mercilessly experimented

     

    The earthquake in Haiti, hell H.A.R.P. might of did it

     

    They blamed terrorism for every building that’s blown

     

    Most attacks on this country were carried out by their own

     

    Every sick move left the poor affected by the cause (uh-huh)

     

    In the past they blew up their own ships to start wars

     

    Too put guns and dope in the hood, they decided it

     

    They’ll lock you up for it when they the ones who provided it

     

    Now they map out strategies average people ain’t fathoming

     

    Practices in murder tactics whenever we have a gathering

     

    Never had respect or knew what character was for

     

    They just lived up to the label, America the whore!

    On the other hand , the Spaniards stole it from the Aztecs , Olmecs and Toltecs.

     

     

    What goes around.

     

     

    In fact , the Mexicans sold the land.

     

    Just as the French sold the Louisiana Purchase.

    Sorry.

    There’s evil forces,human evil not demons,at work and while they plot we play.That’s the message in the song.

     

    In 2000 there were 7 countries whose central banks weren’t run by the Rothchilds:

     

    Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya,Sudan,Iran,Cuba and North Korea.Today it’s only North Korea.

     

    Think about it.

  9. Jesus Christ is so Powerful.

     

     

    Come in and listen to the WORD.

     

     

    Promote Yeshua/Christ ALWAYS.

    Sorry , mate.

     

    Nipped out for lunch and a coldie.

     

     

    In you want to judge nations , I would you suggest that , as a good rule of thumb , you look at the countries which people try to emigrate to .

     

    And from which countries they leave.

     

     

    Sorry , mate.

     

    Can`t comment on the Rothschilds and their global banking influences.

     

     

    However , you would be aware that it sounds a bit like ” the eternal Jew ” narrative and I know that is not what you are saying , but I would always be cautious about endorsing unless I had definite evidence.

     

     

    Banking is not the biggest problem.

     

    Global population shifts are.

  12. MACJAY…

     

    There’s reams and reams of info out there and sometimes the difficulty is separating the wheat from the chaff.A lot of it is utter nonsense though.Anywho,I’ll discuss it in more depth another time.

     

    It’s almost 3am here and i’m struggling to keep awake but trying to watch the test,at least until Warner makes a century (hopefully).

     

    Aussies looking good but a few quick wickets and it’s all change,I love cricket for that.

    Thank you so much for your good wishes.

     

     

    I love the chat as well. Almost inevitably interesting and stimulating.

     

     

    There has been too much cricket in the last few years.imho.

     

    However , I m starting to take an interest again.

     

    Particularly in Test cricket.

  15. Big Peat of Islay, I'm a Monarchist who wears a Poppy in Remembrance on

    Despite the pelters, I’m happy to be a Celtic supporter who happens to believe in a Monarchy and Conservative Politics. I’m also a Nationalist and hope that Scotland gains independence so that at last, Scots can focus on policies for a change instead of the Independence question, which has led to SNP dominance and being dictated to by the Sturgeon Witch, who has the most awful anti-sport, anti-family and anti-growth policies around.

  16. Good morning friends and a Big Happy Friday from a decidedly uncertain looking East Kilbride; dry, half the sky clear but the remainder housing very dark clouds.
