The James McClean Sponsored Poppy Thread


Recommended Posts

I left the supermarket two weeks ago and a random charity were tin rattling.

I said, sorry I don't have any change and quick as a flash the woman said, that's ok I have a card reader.

I'm suspecting that this is a route charities will be going down more often

Man City have 5 games (including today’s) between now and Remembrance Sunday and they’ve already got the poppies out.

Looks like they’re remembering really hard this year.

Their owners should be remembering how much Mark Sykes fucked their ancestors over during & after WW1. Pay respect but point out the Colonialist bullshit that has led us to where we are today.

It’s a huge thing in the UAE.*

That’s Leicester City kicking off poppy season for professional football. Card display of poppies, last post and ubiquitous wreaths laid by Brendan and Pep.

It is the last home game for Leicester before Remembrance Sunday/ Armistice Day, so presumably that means every club gets to do their poppy thing over next few weeks.

Each to their own, but  I preferred the modest minute’s silence and personal quiet reflection at 11am on Remembrance Sunday than this annual competition.

So do I, the whole Remembrance month is just so tacky, imho.

In Palace and Leicesters case it was their final home game before remembrance Sunday.

Then they should wait until next season to see if a home game coincides with the supposed day of commemoration then.

I'm pretty sure that Crystal Palace didn't organise their minter display with Scottish football fans in mind - swing and a miss then.

Not fans no, just you & it has worked a charm.

I'm categorically certain that Crystal Palace did not in fact design their minter commemoration to annoy me, but by all means keep digging that idiotic logic hole for yourself.

Why don't you contact them and ask?

It's not enough to be part of a (stupid, meaningless load of pish) 'remembrance' thing; nah, clubs absolutely must have their own or else they clearly have personally shagged the graves of every dead soldier ever, pished on every memorial statue and personally shat all over the beaches of Normandy before jizzing over the Somme and shaving their pubes directly on to Paschendale.

All whilst absolutely seething, like me, and not on the verge of tears but openly weeping tears of fury, like me. I personally cried tears of distilled rage over Captain Tom's grave.
