    Do Championship clubs wear poppies on their shirts this weekend? If so, it will be interesting to see if James McClean wears one or whether Coyle “rests” him for this weekend.

    I’m sure you are all aware how he was seen by the fans at Sunderland from this time last year when he was the only player in the PL not to wear one.

    Let’s see when it happens. Stop trying to stir things.

        the man is a staunch republican….. fair enough to him….. i vehemently disagree with his politics/beliefs, but i can understand why he wouldn’t want to wear a poppy.

        I wasnt. It was a genuine question as I dont know if it was just PL clubs who wore them. His refusal to wear one pretty much finished his career at Sunderland, such was the feeling amongst the vast majority of the support. He was pretty much booed for the rest of the season.

        Anyway, it seems that his new national management team dont have an issue with it, just as they didnt when they managed Sunderland:

          as i have already said, he clearly has deep seated opinions, and he didn’t have to please the television media

            Last I heard it was a free country. That’s what the people that the poppies represent were fighting for. You might not agree with everything people do or say but they have the right, within reason, to do so. That’s why we have to put up with shit stirring threads like this.

            Watford and Leicester had them for their televised match last Saturday.

              He won’t wear one we all know that.

              I’m more concerned with him learning he’s left footed and doesn’t have to beat every man before getting a cross in though TBH.

              The freedom that many of our armed forces personnel have sacrificed their lives for gives us the right to decide (within limits) what we will or won’t do. That includes having the right to decide whether or not to wear a poppy – I saw plenty of people on my way into work this morning not wearing one but I didn’t feel the urge to wind down my car window & boo them
              In his particular case, whilst I’m not saying he is right or wrong or justified or not as I know nowhere near enough to comment, but if I came from a community that I felt had been on the receiving end of discrimination by the British Army I might feel reluctant to wear a poppy. Likewise, Roy Keane & Martin O’Neill are free to feel otherwise

                Just sack him then.
                He could look good at Londonderry City.

                I’ve stopped coming on here recently. Too many hurling childish insults around.

                However, whilst I always try to maintain a ‘grown up’ approach I’m prepared to make an exception for you Mutty. You are a twat of the highest order. How dare you take something like Remembrance Sunday and turn it into a nasty, vindictive, shit stirring post on a football message board.

                I wear my poppy with pride. I’ve even bought three of the shirts that get auctioned off as gifts for Christmas. If a player doesn’t want to wear a poopy then I respect that and will defend his right to do whatever he likes.

                You, on the other hand, can go Fck yourself.

                You should work for the Sun. They don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

                  Each year poppy wearing seems to become more and more devalued in my eyes, especially as so many people don’t even understand what they stand for. Every politician, celebrity, sportsperson and TV “personality” can’t be seen without one now and, ironically, people are viewed as a social pariahs now for not sporting one.
                  Like many others I have deliberately chosen not to wear one any more and instead show my respect in other ways.
