Guy infront of me in Sainsbury's the other day asked the cashier why she didn't have a Poppy on. Had no idea mentalists like that actually roamed the wild.

None of his f****** business, imho.

Bottom right is my wife's gramps in a German POW camp 1944,it was a propaganda picture and what you cannot see was a German guard pointing a machine gun at them telling them to smile.Gramps was captured outside Dunkirk 1940 covering the retreat of the BEF.He had 2 rounds of .303 ammo left in his Bren gun when he was captured.

Fucking hell, the start to MOTD had some tacky cringey garbage there, including tawdry crowd displays, poppy corner flags, linesmen and fourth officials with poppies on their shirts, big screen displays and a huge poppy flag.

It's bizarre and sinister and needs to stop. Not just this sort of shit but all of it  Get 'Remembrance Day'* to f**k.

Motd are only showing a very short clip of what the clubs are doing. You can't blame them really, as they've always highlighted the weekend of remembrance (and rightly so).

The tacky extras is all down to the club and tbf motd brushes over it quickly.
