Red Army name

[Alex Ferguson]

Given our relatively recent efforts helping raise funds for Dnipro, I don't know if that's still ongoing, but think it would mean a lot to the Ukrainian community in the city and shire if we stopped using the term Red Army - after the Anthrax attacks, the band Anthrax stopped using their name out of respect and while our use of Red Army has zero to do with Putin, I think it would be a gesture by the club - unlike the Celtic fans and the Donetsk flag last night.

I wish I'd thought of this.

Top nonsense.

Or change our colours perhaps?

It would mean a lot to the Aberdeen support in the city and shire if you stopped using the name Alex Ferguson.

I had to check the date to make sure it wasn’t 1st April. Anyway keep sniffing the glue . If it’s a windup min how could you be bothered ?

 

[Poodler]

If we’re going down this route I’d like the Israeli/ dons flag removed from displays, due to the tyranny that that flag represents 

[Kilgore Trout]

we need to have a serious think about removing the swastika from the club badge 

[Woolenrouge]

How about 'Rouge Army'? Would that solve the problem?

[Kent_red]

Just a quick point of order - Anthrax never changed or stopped using their name.

Invading countries is gay.

[Alex Ferguson]

Fair enough, I thought it might be an idea, given the history of Red Army across Ukraine, and Eastern Europe, thought of as Russian aggressors/invaders.

If anything it would be some PR for the club.  I do think the club should stop using it while the modern day Red Army tanks are rolling into peaceful Ukrainian cities, but not consensual so forget I said anything.

I'm not your woke type myself but it's the togetherness we should be showing a country, who we have club connections with through the Dnipro kids fund-raising as recently as December 2021.

For them - can we be the 12th Man or something else, not The Red Army, for one week, one month, it would be SYMBOLIC if nothing else, a gesture, a reach out to our Ukrainian community, which we certainly have in Aberdeen and across Scotland.

I really don’t think when they have women and bairns dying that would really register on the give a fuck scale . I appreciate your heart is in the right place but just accept it’s absolutely ridiculous

Surely we don’t want to alienate the Russian community either. Especially given our historic links with that proud nation...(we played Lokomotiv Moscow)

A blast of “We’re red , you’re dead , we’re bouncing on Kiev” would be a fitting show of solidarity

We're, you're dead, we're bouncing on Kiev, just sick.  

Hang your head in shame

I believe there are a few Donald MacDonaldski’s in Russia now.

We should probably stop calling ourselves the Dons also.
