Lenmcharristar 9,172 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 They let a republican band parade through govan and it caused a riot and they can’t figure out why????? Basically an IRA band parading through a loyalist area, wtf were people thinking? I’m not into the bands but it’s each to their own, it’s funny how when it’s an orange March it’s seen as offensive and trouble making but when it’s a republican March it’s about rememberence and culture of the down trodden Irish? Absolutely the same for both sides to remember their own. There’s worse things going on in the world that band marches but common sense should show that republicans and loyalists won’t get along very well especially when drink is involved Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Ah, ok. It's a shame that comes to that - some of them young 'uns that take part do really well. ........... I remember seeing some of the young cadets in the military bands at the royal tournament - I could never play an instrument so, they always impressed me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
