2017/18 Ramiro Funes Mori

[Connor]

If don’t think you understand the context of his tweet.

I understand the context mate.

He's an Argentine who believes the island is theirs - just like many of his countrymen. His countrymen were slaughtered in battle over something they believe is theirs.

He's respecting the fallen - as people do in this country.

 

[f.t.r.s]

How is he disrespecting the country?

He is stating his opinion on a certain topic. If I say the pot holes in the roads by mine are doing my head in (and they are..) for example then I am merely stating my opinion on one aspect of the UK. It's not disrespecting anything.

British and Argentinians died in the Conflict. Rememberance should be observed, not pushing political agendas

Falklands means Falklands.

Yes and I've done it several times to dear @Sapie88

And also are you then implying that the armed forces infact are violent

I'm implying if you called someone a war criminal, chances are you'd get a smack and deserve it, same as if you call someone a nonce etc without good reason

 

[orly]

Disgusting.

I will wear a flower in memory of your chin.

@chicoazul just PM'd me to say "you'd need to order a bouquet from Interflora in memory of @MoutsGoat 's chins"


!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last time I checked mate, he was Ramiro Funes Mori - defender for Everton and Argentina - not Ramiro Funes Mori, MP for Las Malvinas.

But the statement is politically motivated , historically its routinely trotted out when politicians are attempting to rouse public support

Grand, that's still not disrespecting the county though...

Its always been a hot topic in Argentina, he is Argentinian. Twitter is a (generally)a world wide thing. I don't see why him playing over here should alter his opinion or make him change his tweet at all.

 

[f.t.r.s]

It's Ill advised anyway

I'd imagine if I asked a member of her majesty's death squad so much as the time of day they'd try to assault me, violence is what they do

My dad was in the Falklands war mate, he didn't care about the tweet funnily enough.

Funny that - all the armchair warrior nobheads kicking off over this whilst anyone who has ever served in the military and actually been there couldn’t give a flying one.

What's wrong with politically motivated statements?

If it was just about the fallen mate, fair enough, but considering where he plys his trade, it was poorly judged/worded I think.

It cost both sides ordinary peoples lives, not the the politicians who sent them unfortunately.

Fair enough you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that.
In the same manner I think it's disgusting how James McLean cherry picks a minority of people as an excuse to refuse to wear a poppy. I find that insulting to all the Irish that fought alongside allied forces in both world wars

Probably a ploy to get a move no joke lol
