[Googler]

Guys what sort of reception will Mr McClean get next Saturday for his refusal to wear the poppy on his shirt,he got abuse from his own fans at Stoke last Saturday and he responded by calling the uneducated

I don't care if people choose to wear one or not, it's their choice.

Proper Forest banter this one is.

Not any more!

(And also - exactly the same as before - I shall recuse myself from commenting on this subject).

 

[account deleted]

Millions upon millions of people died defending peoples' right to decide these sort of things for themselves

So no, I don't care whether he wears one or not

 

[Steve Stone's Mullet]

I'll boo him.

Doesn't have a choice in that though does he?

Yes.
Don't like the English work somewhere else.

...and it isn't just a case of not wearing a poppy, the terrorist **** actively promotes The IRA with comments like this:

Those cowardly bastards killed many innocent people in the name of their cause which seems to be mostly about the freedom to run their f***ing mafia in peace.

Turned his back during GSTQ yet he’s happy to stuff his pockets with pieces of paper with Her Majesty’s face on

As someone said earlier it’s his right not to wear a poppy & I don’t have an issue with that, what I have an issue with is that he’s a pro IRA Irish republican so yes I’ll be booing the terrorist loving prick & I’ll also be booing that tosspot Gary Rowett

Me and the Mrs have bought our poppies in the village, but choose when or where to wear them.
Mrs S has a B.E.M. for services to the community down in Dorset.
My family gave up several members in both the First and Second World Wars.
I hope no-one tries to guilt trip me if they see me out and about without my poppy.
It leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth with all the guilt-tripping that goes on if you don't wear a poppy.

I’m going to the game dressed as a poppy and draped in a Union Jack. I won’t be out-poppied. Anyone I see without one will be getting a Chinese burn. Be warned.

Great bunch of lads.

Being forced to wear one is precisely why a lot of people don't want to. It goes against everything soldiers in the world wars fought for.

I find that a strange attitude, you clearly support the cause or you wouldn't have contributed so why wouldn't you want to promote the cause by wearing your poppy at every opportunity just for a week?

I suspect that this attitude is quite popular amongst the under 30's who quite possibly don't know anyone who lived through the world wars let alone fought in one.
It is important to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom, a huge proportion unwillingly.

It's quite possible to do that without going look at me, look at me, I'm remembering them.

I'm quite happy to buy one to donate to the cause, but not that bothered about wearing it.

It's a cause that is dying out amongst the young and wearing one keeps it relevant, even more so when worn by a young person.
Why does everything have to be a battle?

I donate, but don't wear one.

It's impossible to forget.

My first home game for yonks due to relocating so looking forward to this game.

No problem with him not wearing the poppy but find his sectarian views outdated. Are the club doing anything as it’s armisr weekend and if so what will McClean do when it’s happening?

How many of your mates donate or wear a poppy?
Not having a go but you are exactly the age group that I'm refering too, as are my kids who will be getting a reminder tonight.

Is it ?

They must be blind because it's in your face everywhere nowadays for about a month, so much more than it used to be when I was young.

I think so, it's not a matter of seeing but more understanding I believe, no war no problem.
