Robert the Bruce, Born in .........

I "used" the thread ?

I posted another footballing tragedy that seem to be purposely left out, possibly because it was Scottish, gets deleted, yet the very same member starts a topic today, clearly trying to get a reaction, and there s a difference ??

As I said you tried to score points using an event where people lost their lives - I have no doubt that Tashy didn’t purposely leave anything out as the Ibrox disaster is prob something that doesn’t immediately spring to his mind when talking about football disasters.
This thread is nothing but light hearted based on something that appeared in the news recently - if you want to be offended by that then crack on but to try and find a connection to a recent thread about people sadly losing their lives is quite pathetic at the end of the day and ultimately says more about you than the OP , most people appear to ignore you as you seem to be a returned banned poster , I’ll join that list
 
Oh it gets worse (better actually 😁)

The good Dr writes...

Dr Watson said it was "highly likely" the 22-year-old Bruce was knighted by Edward, the king who was dubbed Hammer of the Scots.
Bruce and his father even took part in the English invasion of Scotland in 1296, at a time when the family had lost its lands north of the Border.

😶😐😂

I wonder if they will do a prequel of Braveheart showing the rise of Bruce in the quaint English countryside 👍😂

You do like the sound of your own type don't you :ROFLMAO:, you say most appear to ignore me, that's quite a statement given there are thousands of members, have they all told you so ? As for a returned banned member, again, utter drivel. :ROFLMAO:

Well this is how Tashyboys day has gone. Spent 4 hours at ASDA today selling poppies with Missis Tash. We have had a fantastic time. Met loads of fantastic charitable people. However whilst there a pal I have known since I was 12 walks by, bottom line he is on anti depressants. He was a tearful mess. So when me and Missis T finished at ASDA we went straight round to his and have had 3 plus hours with him. Listening, laughing and joking. Then I come back, and a light hearted post I managed to write before I went out has gone tits up. With suggestions that I may of left some football teams out another ( not so lighthearted )thread. Some times I just have to shake my head.

Gotta be honest Homer, I don't need an excuse to waffle, but some of the stories I have heard today were heartwarming. Some of the people's generosity is just unbelievable. Had a couple of snogs as well. 😉
 
Come on guys, a bit of a light hearted post, gone badly west.

Let’s keep a sense of humour, give and take a bit of banter and not take some of this stuff too seriously.

Pretty please 👍
 
Who gives a stuff where he cane from. It’s what he actually did that matters.
lets face it the only accent he had, like every noble in England And Scotland was a French one. all the nobles spoke French.... the Family Name is De Bruce after all. its not new that he was Knighted my Edward iii. Again so is them having extensive lands in England, i think the family chapel was even in Northern England. Not the first historical figure have the past and their motives glossed over... for any one that is interested just look up ElCid and Spain.

different times with different motives

The author's agent is probably laughing, put out some 'controversial' theory and media picks it up, bound to lead to a few more book sales and tv appearances for £££.

Whilst I don't idolise anyone (we all eat, sleep and go to the dunny), the spider in the cave metaphor is a lasting one though.............keep trying when going get tough.(y)
 
Timed for the new Outlaw King film opening as well....hmmmmm.
The film is set in his early years with his unsuccessful landing from Ireland at Loch Ryan and following guerilla war against English troops.
Sounds quite good, set in my area of Carrick but probably filmed in Latvia or Ireland. :)

Think it was 99% filmed in Scotland at various locations. With part of it filmed at Berwick Upon Tweed and the Northumberland border area.
 
You mean 'what is now' England. The Bruces (de Brus) were Norman - and throughout the 12th and 13th centuries Scots nobility owned land far and wide across England. Not surprising at all if Robert I was born in what is now England - William Wallace spoke Welsh after all. Indeed the Bruces were on the 'English' side for most of the 13th century being opposed to the Baliols.
 
Think Steve Bruce was on the English side as well last decade. Good centre half he was. Had a bent nose.
