[Archived] Campaign For Tugay Testimonial

[Ninjathunder]

oh, please don't choose the latter one, i.e. the one with the link it won't be a good idea. trust a Turk's opinion

I will get my GS shirt and be there, hopefully. I'd prefer wearing a Turkish shirt but I haven't got the red one

a suggestion, only XL though.

Don't worry my Turkey shirt arrived yesterday. I really hope that we all, in some way, make a visible effort to show our respect for him next Sunday.

I'll be in the third row of the BBE with my Turkish flag.

Yep, wearing another countries shirt automatically means you become a citizen of that country and lose your sense of "national identity"

Jesus.

I wouldn't be seen dead in a Turkey shirt either - it's too big and I'm sure it would be bad for the environment to incinerate football shirt material in a crematorium. However, I am proud to be English and proud that I can wear whatever I like in the country I love, which also includes an Argentina shirt I bought the other week.

If you even so much as DARE to wear another country's football shirt as an affectionate mark of respect to the background of a Rovers hero, don't even THINK of cheering on England in the next world cup.

would you wear a buirnley shirt?

would you wear a buirnley shirt?

Is Tugay from Burnley?

Are Turkey our local rivals?

[Ninjathunder]

would you wear a buirnley shirt?

Not next Sunday. Tugay's from Turkey Abbey, not Burnley. I'll get you a map if you're confused.

Posts like this make me want to bang my head against the screen and bemoan the state of humanity...

[ABBEY]

bang harder then you might knock some sense in then

[broadsword]

Nothing wrong with not wanting to wear the national shirt of another country. That's just someone wanting to express their fierce national pride in a way that isn't negative. I mean, it's not as if the only way to show affection for Tugay is to wear his national shirt.

How about wearing a fez, or buying a Tugay t-shirt?

No need to have a barney about it.

Sense.

From the man who equated wearing a Turkey shirt as a mark of respect for a Rovers hero to wearing a Burnley shirt.

Right.

Need to see if I can make the game - have my future brother in law's stag do to attend in London and not sure if I can find an arrangement which will get me on a train down there in time..

But I wouldn't actually wear a Turkey shirt partly because I can't be arsed getting one, but I don't understand why someone would be so hugely opposed to wearing one on grounds of their own nationality. He was with Rangers for a few years, he's been Turkish since he was born and it's a part of who he is and something that I'm guessing is of as much pride to him as your Englishness is to you. I think wearing a Turkey shirt is a nice gesture and mark of respect towards his roots and culture, and is particularly good to see in a town like Blackburn where there's a lot of cultural divisions at work.

what's so bad about turkey? difficult not to have respect for a country that has embraced secular values

[Ninjathunder]

wheres Turkey Abbey?

Believe me I've tried to search for it but I can't find anything

[broadsword]

Only on this forum can there be such a hoo-ha about someone not wanting to wear a Turkish football shirt.

Unbelievable.

[sambo]

I'll wear one if I can find one, or a flag.

Nothing like wearing a Burnley shirt.

I'll be wearing my replica 60's Rovers shirt Abbey like I do to every game and have to agree that wearing a Turkish shirt would not interest me one iota personally.But its everyone to their own Abbs and its a free country................live and let live fella!
