RE: IT's a subject that cuts deep through the town and Whilst I undestand that you obviously feel very strongly about this, it is no excuse for being abusive to someone with a different opinion.
Quite angry at "them". Why, were they all miners at the game in the home end then?. This is what I don't understand about it (shouting scabb at football) and why I think you are trying to justify chanting 'scab' with some explanation that you are just spouting in a half hearted fashion. I apologise if I am wrong and you genuinly are moved by the industrial history of Barnsley from a time before you were born, but, honestly, you wouldn't chant scab if you were just walking through the city would you?, so why do it at a football match. To associate, generically, an entire region's people with the acts of a few thousand men, is frankly childish.
You are right, it does.. .... but will shouting scab at someone who was probably born years after the strike help to heal the wounds of the strike ?</p> </p>
RE: Read a book ******** - its your history and heritage Now you do something ********, look around and see what's happening in the world today and then get over the fact that some people put their families first and the country we live in gave them the freedom to make that choice. If we didn't get over things, would we not be killing every German we saw, after all it was only 1914. Move on.
my personal abuse was directed at fans singing Arther Scargill is a ****** and Theres only 1 Margaret Thatcher actually, not some 16 yr old.
RE: my personal abuse was directed at fans singing in my opinion Scargill was politically motivated who wantedto replace the establishmentwith his own and thatcher was determined to crush the unions irrespective of how many communities she laid waste. Now the Forest 'fans' singing that are morons as a consequence of the strike was a closure of the mines in Nottinghamshire. You could take the moral higher ground and not get sucked into the pointless name calling.
now then brf i take it you didnt grow up in the thatcher years with no jobs and all your family on strike going to soup kitchens for dinnerand **** all moneys coning into the house. it was the worse experiance of my life and you you chav tell us to forget the damage the scabby ***** did to me and my family and friends .killed the unions nd the working class , i put it to you ,you are a knob and a scab lover
Why do people need to bring the subject up at a Football match?? If you really want to shout at a "scab" then why not go to Nottingham, Leicster in your free time?? Even then it would show how pointless it is! This happened some years ago for christs sake.
RE: From whatever perspective The majority of Notts miners didn't come out on strike at all. They were not desperate people.
RE: From whatever perspective I object to the notts miners that worked being referred to as people. /poo
I bet ryhilltyke wont be making a claim for compensation in 20 years saying that his job was so **** and dangerous and the worst thing ever. Oh and then saying it was the best job ever and he wishes he still had it
to repeat someones post yesterday they scabbed in 1984 and in 1926, it's in their genes. the "men" of nottingham are a set of spineless Barstewards whose actions in 1984 have had a direct impact on the decimation of the mining industry and prosperity of our area. scabs until they die, remind them at every opportunity.
I have to agree wholeheartedly............when i wer a kid my dad used to cuss notts miners & railway men...........utter spineless barstewards...........driven out of their own homes by (housewifes) women to work....they could not hold an opinion if they wanted to...............dance with the devil (maggie) & reap what you sow................ I was on strike for a whole year to defend my heritage, my forefathers & more importantly my family.......... maggie maggie maggie OUT OUT OUT!!!
aint got the same ring as maggie thatcher milk snatcher! what a bitch, i often wonder if she ever blew dennis off!
RE: Why do people need to bring the subject up at a Football match?? We should also stand in Sheffield city centre shouting dee dah, too.
.....................and there's me thinking maggie wore the trousers in that relationship.............
