Gonzo79 13,344 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Donnohoe has also stood up for his own beliefs, against the grain, in certain circumstances. I respect him for that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because he’s a Rangers fan I’ve to drop my opposition to the honour system. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's not surprising that out of all the people you could pick to criticise getting an honour, you pick a Rangers fan. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being paranoid, I picked Donnohoe because he has done nothing to be awarded such a high honour, it trivialises the whole system imo. The fact he’s a Rangers fan means nothing to me in this matter, he could support another team my opinion would be the same. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,344 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) It's possible that he's done something extraordinary that you are unaware of, Bearger. I doubt it but it's possible. Honours are put forward by groups or individuals but have to be backed up to get through. I have noted in the past week the BSRT has said he doesn't care about democracy and you've said you don't care if someone is a Rangers fan. Interesting...

Gonzo79 13,344 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I'm sure there are several recipients whose contributions to British society are as questionable as Donnohoe's. Why pick him? Why pick a Rangers fan when making a point like this? On a Rangers forum? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I picked him was I received an email from a friend on the subject and he mentioned Donnohoe. I’m in the US at present so had not seen anything about the honours list. Had a wee look now and see 2 other MP’s have been knighted. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
