Solidarity with Ukraine

Post by Rule The Third » Fri Feb 25, 2022 12:26 pm

Can I suggest Fans display Ukrainian Flags at Holker St this Saturday. The Premier League has already encouraged Players & Fans to show solidarity with Ukraine by allowing this. Hopefully the wide reach of PL coverage will show the World, (and some in Russia), that the people of Britain condemn this barbaric invasion.

Presuming your referring to the barbaric invasion by US/Deep state since Maidan 2013? Yep good idea.

I wonder how many condemned the British invasion of India, Ireland and other countries?
The Yanks invading the land of the Native American Indian? And Irag.

I take your point. However, we should be the last country on earth to condemn anybody!

Bullsh1t. Bring what you want, Wear what you want. Think what you want And say what you want as long as it is legal and safe to do so. Respect the views of others. Do not condemn but do not be afraid to challenge or offend if needs be.

I'll raise your Paul Weller with a Nelson Mandela - "There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountain top of our desires". A sentiment that should resonate with every Bluebird supporter out there.

Ahh, the anachronistic view of history. And, anyway, we do feel bad. History is about learning lessons.
Don't let the old man in.

Totally agree with Solidarity with Ukraine.Might I suggest we gave a minutes silence at the beginning of the match in memory of all the people who have died as a result of this illegal act by Russia,which has caused many young innocent children to lose their lives.We as a club need to make a stand and perhaps coordinate with all other football clubs so at 3pm tomorrow a united message is given.

Tie the flag round your neck then take the knee while applauding for a minute. I will go and watch a football match. Anyone who feels really strongly please go to the Ukraine and give them a hand

You obviously have not read the first post where the Premier League is asking you to support Ukraine by showing solidarity.Whether you agree or not is neither here or there.You fortunately are in a free country where you are allowed to have an opinion without being arrested.It was people like my dad who fought in the last World War who gave you that freedom by getting rid of the last tyrant namely Adolf Hitler.

Didn't beat Hitler by waving a flag at a football match. Bet that will really upset Putin
