Kid Dynamite 5908 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Only player on the pitch without a poppy on his shirt apparently. He's happy enough to live here and make his millions though. He can always fuck off if he hates the English that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38762 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Over 200,000 Irishmen fought in WW1, and over 30,000 didn't come home. Someone should remind McClean of this, and the fact that Poppies are worn in remembrance those men, not the governments involved.

( Whilst forcing a poppy down his fucking throat. ) I think the problem is that the poppy has come to represent the British military in general and the funds raised go to the RBL. Given that he's from Derry and the British army had a history of 'misbehaviour' there is more than likely the reason he declined to wear it. Still a dickhead like.

He probably didn't experience the worst of it but obviously he'll have been told of the stories and influenced by friends and family who did experience it.

PaddockLad 14585 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) I imagine that if McLean is making some sort of point, he'd view those who joined up (of their own free will, plans for conscription in Ireland went a long way to encouraging the German-backed Michael Collns et al in the oppurtunistic 1918 rebellion) as traitors. But if he also thinks that in a German dominated Western Europe he'd have enjoy the freedom of choice that is his and allows him to choose not to wear a poppy then he's a fuckin idiot.

Fair point, I do realise its contentious over the water, but it didn't seem to be an issue with any of the other Irish lads on the field today. I'll be interested to see if he wears one next year.

I'll be interested to see if he wears one next year. It's less of an issue than it used to be, we've had the SDLP leader wearing one and this year a TD in the Dail wore one as a symbolic gesture. It's shit like this that keeps the issue alive. Very few would've had a problem with him wearing one, even Celtic have worn the poppy on their shirts (though that didn't go down too well).

CTurk 0 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 What a total cunt. For one, as someone pointed out, he was ne'er but a sperm in his daddies testes the last time someone in Derry got the good news from a British SLR, and second, does the ignorant cunt not realise just how many people in Sunderland, the club he supposedly represents, and the people who pay his wages, have relatives who've been killed or injured on active service in the British Army (which includes Afghan etc). Mackems to a man should be ashamed to count this fucker as one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I largely agree, but without the sacrifice of millions in the last century none of us would get the choice. Not much to ask and if he's from Derry am sure he has his reasons, but still. He's taking hundreds of thousands a year in salary from an English team, wheres his fuckin princples there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Find the argument that he should wear one because he has the choice utterly baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
