Too put people wise about the miners

A lot of you ask whats this all about calling nottingham and derby scabs. Scab means in layman terms lowest of the low. working in conditions that you cant see a foot in front of you, breathing coal dust that clogs your lungs up. I wish that some of you could see a miner dying through pneumonicousis ( hope i spelt it right)
because its a slow death. Seeing your dad or your grandad on a nebuliser with tubes up is nose so that he can breath. or your grandad being killed down the pit trapped with a downfall. So not to condone racism but to tell people that put money before familys. Fathers and mothers not wanting there sons to work down a pit and fight for the right not to see there sons go through what most miners did you got to realise the heartfelt feelings of a mining village, and
to see a lot of mens/womens dads, march back to work with a colliery band in front of them and seeing most not all nottingham men and derbyshire men scabbing through the UDM and there representive Roy Link. You only have comtempt for such people and there greed. So as much as i love my home tarn team and a lot of you wont remember the old donkey jacket supporters with NCB on there back. I got to say LEST WE FORGET. Look at our badge. Which our great football team wheres with pride. Mining and glassworks. This is what our great football team evolved from.

 

Are we talking about Football or Mining

Because a proportion of our fans and a larger proportion of Nottingham fans will have been no where near a mine. You can not tar everybody with the same brush.
Times change and if we are using the same formula. We would'nt buy a Japanese Hi Fi or Keyboard, We would'nt buy a German Car, and we Would,nt go near Spain for our Holidays (armada and all that) As an ex miner suffering with the decease you can't spell (I can't either) and supporting my family through the strike and losing family to Mining I understand but
we should turn over a new leaf.

 

thx for replying from the heart wastyke, because this is deep felt feelings seeing my m8 get knocked back from getting a caretakers job for getting arrested in 84 miners strike. the lad came from a mining village and applied for a job in a former mining village. 3/4 of the village got arrested aswell.

 

Heritage........ (clap)

I'm proud of my heritage................even though the mines & glassworks have long since gone

We are what we were

Just like the dee dars are the steel city.............
