The Poppy

[Minder]

Liverpool and Man Utd getting a bit of stick for being the only two EPL teams not to wear it on their shirts this weekend

[SLIGONIAN]

Hibs did today, will Celtic aswell?

All Black wearing a poppy, as are wales

The commemoration at the rugby showed well why most nationalists here have no affinity wth the Poppy. They presented some Brit soldiers and went on about their 'work' in Northern Ireland on foot patrol blah blah... little to be boasting about with their record here and can see no link with that and the men who died in two world wars. So they can shove their poppy...

Is there some sort of new cult of the poppy going on in the uk, fail to wear one and you'll be an outcast.

Celtic have a poppy badge version on there jersey too. During the minute slience a fair few Celtic fans sang through it.

I doubt my uncle is wearing a poppy and he's married over there for around 30something years.

Roy Keane doesnt sport one anyway as SKY only showed his face and neck in an interview yesterday.

What was that shite last year, talk of a green poppy. Sure we could have a military remembrance day in Easter, for all our soldiers, who gave their lives wherever they may be, The Rising, WWI, WWII, Lebanon, (even the American Civil War) and elsewhere.

Our soldiers fought and died for freedom and self determination (or maybe just out of desperation for a job), from both Fascism and Imperialism. So now we have that choice,  I think a commemeration that reflects us and our soldiers would be more appropriate. That is if we choose to even have a commemoration at all.

I only caught the end of the Celtic match - McManus definitely didn't have one on and I'd be fairly sure McGeady didn't either.

Keane wouldnt give two shites what they showed of him, the one thing i will say for him is that if they asked him why he wasnt wearing one he would most definitely tell them why he wsnt wearing one and fair play to him for that.

Any interview I seen of him lately all he says is 'yes' 'no' 'what do you think?'  I doubt he'd say anything about the poppy.

Yeah thats what i thought, along with Samaras. Anyone know did the players have their own choice on this?
