Boomstick Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 To be fair to them, if it hadn't been pointed out to me I wouldn't have known any better. Quite funny though and no harm was done.

Ben Dover Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Just an honest mistake Mind if you look hard enough you can see their backpacks 'claiming' the empty seats on the train - a giveaway for sure Ach nobody died as they say but it maybe indicates why we must reiterate the phrase "lest we forget" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest John Meurig Thomas Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Meh. No harm done. As Boomschlong said, I wouldn't have noticed/cared enough to scrutinise the picture which may have lead to me noticing. They meant well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonshrew Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Also, although it was a bit of a faux pas, remembrance day is to honour and remember the war dead.Not who won. So we mourn German losses as well as our own. Obviously, this wasnt a brave statement by Airdrie though, just a balls up ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 No excuse,people should know what they are doing. Aye but people make mistakes, you never made one? If you've gone through life without making at least one major **** up/sackable offence then you're 1) boring and 2) a jobsworth. But you don't come across like that so I'll assume you've made one or two. Poor research,very silly mistake...gonna make them the butt of a lot of many jokes.. You're right. It is a silly mistake but TBH I forget about this thread every time I click away from the Terrace. As for jokes I've yet to think of one...Did you hear the one about the football programme...Nah it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 From what I hear the original caption on the photo referred to Austrian troops on the way to the front - that's where the Australian bit came in. Obviously they can't read in Airdrie apart from telling British from German uniforms!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Era Macaroons Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 So it wasnt the ad for the re-introduction of the Airdrie - Ibrox line then read that they chose a 'train' image as they were hoping for sponsership from first rail that didnt arrive (jews on the line apparantly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullen13 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 To be honest some of the soldiers on the axis side need to be respected on remembrance day too. Some of them didn't have a choice but to fight. Absolute howler from Airdrie though, the Nazi emblem on the lapel should be a give-away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C00l K1d Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 As someone said earlier it's not about who won it's about remembering the men who lost their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Section B will be appalled by this! Allegedly! Indeed Because we're all committed Nazis in Section B and we'd hate to be associated with the vile, disreputable monstrous institution that is Airdrieonians/Airdrie United. We do have some standards Your Sincerely Obergruppenf?hrer topkat, Section B upper EDIT: We're not too happy about Rangers stealing our salute either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Hearts_Runner Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I imagine Celtic FC wouldn't have had this problem with their programme cover for remembrance day. A mistake from Airdrie FC but at least the thought was there and they meant well dedicating their matchday programme to a subject bigger than football.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Going out on a limb here but is there any chance that these soldiers in the photo are actually British troops from "Ryans Express" Von Ryan obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
