Thatcher and the semi

[Newry Hibs]

Not a comment on the good or bad points of Thatch - but about the timing of the semi ....

See on BBC news that ..Downing Street said Lady Thatcher would be accorded the same status of funeral as the Queen Mother and Princess Diana... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22067155

Wondering if this could be a state funeral with matches being postponed?

Seem to remember Diana's funeral meant a Scotland match was postponed.

Can't see it being a popular decision to do this anywhere in the UK - let alone in Scotland - but you never know ....

Thatcher and Semi, two words that NEVER go together






Anyway they can cancel this match for Thatcher over my dead body.

Free party poppers for everyone for the minutes silence.

A minute's silence and black armbands is the least that should be implemented.

The only way they will get a minutes silence is if they award a minutes applause.

I still have 8 confetti cannons left for the minutes silence!!

I think this is all part of a conspiracy to show Hibs fans in a bad light. I think they bumped her off just in time for the semi-finals so the world can hear us ruining a minutes silence.




OK, I'm ready with the tribute song......


"Maggie, Maggie, Maggie,

Out, Out, Out!!!"

A state funeral for thatcher in scotland will have the YES/indepenance supporters turning cartwheels. She is hated here and this will only play into their hands. People are coming to the semi from near and far with flights etc booked so hope the game goes ahead.No way should we stop the games.

Why has everyone got it in for her?

You never had it so good as in the Thatcher years or are you all loony-left commies?

[Cameron1875]

Need to get the game played tbh. Suppose a token gesture could be black armbands but a minutes silence would do more damage than good imo.

If she has to play, it has to be a straight replacement for Deegan.

[Cabbage East]

We heard you the first time, you just got ignored.

She's deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiid.

We might get the ball forward faster then.

Not much chance of her playing in the main striker role though is there?

[hibeedonald]

Don't want to hear no thatcher songs, politics should be kept out of football, leave it to the old firm.

Ding Dong The Witch is Dead. I hope they call for a minutes silence and the whole ground arrupts into cheers. A vile Human Being who will not be missed by anyone who believes in fairness and humanity. As the jokes say she has already shut down 3 furnaces in hell. My only sadness is she couldn't have hurried up and died on Friday when I was on strike to try and defend my conditions against the ******* Children of the Milk Snatchers.

The unions in whose grip the nation was in under mentalists like Scargill? Blackouts, three days weeks (pre-Scargill I realise) and other such prosperous times whilst the country was held to ransom by those who had completely lost what the point of what a 'union' was for in the first place. Taking the protection of the worker's rights through to blackmailing the country.

Nobody else had the balls to tackle the unions.

Down with the working class and the non privately educated **** that infest our sceptred isle. England forever! Rule Britannia!

A minute' applause covers all bases. Everyone's a winner.

Now we are just under the grip of Russia and other countries and companies for our energy needs. The power of the unions was always going to dissipate, no doubting she speeded it up but Callaghan had not exactly folded otherwise the winter of discontent would not have happened and cost him a second term.

I agree that the point of what a union should be was lost.

Looks like any tenuous football dimension to this has been left behind now.
There's a thread running in the Holy Ground where we can all add our 'tributes' to Thatcher.
