Think this may have to be the biggest f**k up ever by a sporting club , the programme this weekend for Aidrie v Livingstone was as a lot of other supposed to be a rememebarance one Aidrie probabaly did the biggest cock up ever
they used GERMAN SOLDIERS
and apology has been issued
Scottish second division side Airdrie United have apologised after inadvertently using pictures of Nazi soldiers on the cover of their matchday programme the day before Remembrance Day.
Club chairman Jim Ballantyne issued his public apology on Airdrie's website, explaining that a mix-up over a choice of railway-themed photographs had led to the problem.
"The original match sponsor for the game was Network Rail so I decided to base our Remembrance programme images on wartime trains," explained Ballantyne.
"A number of photos were considered and when the final choice was made, the wrong image was lifted which was almost identical to the one that I had selected. Unfortunately it showed German soldiers instead of Allied troops with the nurses.
"As a club, we are hugely supportive of Remembrance and have dedicated our Remembrance weekend programme to poppyscotland for a number of years.
"We always have a minute's silence and we also played in special strips bearing the poppy, all of which makes the programme gaffe very embarrassing.
"Personally, I am devastated at this unfortunate mistake as I am immensely passionate about Remembrance and wear my poppy with pride.
"However you can be assured that the same mistake will never be made again."
