The James McClean Sponsored Poppy Thread


Recommended Posts

Daily Mail gets its readers in a perma-rage again over Moeen Ali not wearing a poppy in the team photo coming off a 20 hour flight.  Photos of Ali getting on the plane clearly show him wearing one.  Obviously (being Muslim) he threw it away, didn't he?  No.  It fell off.  

Even if he hadn't worn one at all, and even disregarding the widely-held view that there's nothing wrong with choosing not to wear one at any time - has no one thought to point out that it's still fucking October?

James McClean was very clear on the reasons he didn't wear a poppy. You can bet it wasn't him who brought it up either. He was respectful and firm in his beliefs. Good on him. The moron was the fucking reporter who asked him about it in the first place.

Without doubt.  But we live in a country where this counts as political commentary...

It's sad that McClean feels it necessary to explain why he elected to abstain from sporting one; if it really is a personal choice, then nobody should feel compelled to explain to anybody else why they have decided not to wear one - and nobody should ask another person why they are not wearing one. 

Anyway, good news for fans of Dundee, St Johnstone and Motherwell; there's still time to purchase your half-and-half poppy-badge pin: https://www.poppyscotlandstore.com/poppyscotland-collections/scottish-league-football-pins-collection.html. Unfortunately for fans of Hearts, Hibs and Rangers, you will have to miss out for the time being.

I see they didn't bother making a Celtic one...
