Would love to see Sunderland and it's fans have some balls and make sure this champagne never plays for them again. Then hopefully no other British club picks him up.

[Derek]

What has he done?

[God is an Englishman]

What has he done?

Refused to wear a shirt with a poppy on it - total disgrace!

[Derek]

What a bottle of shiraz muscat!

[Chaos]

Anybody refusing to wear a shirt with a poppy on it should be banned from the league as a suspension. Not just their own club.


This is a global day, not just for those who have very little thought of others!!!!!!!!!

[The Kop]

I read that the British army murdered 11 people in his home town including a kid in front of his house.
Don't blame him.

[Derek]

And where did you read that?

[Derek]

And whats that got to do with showing respect for the soldiers that have passed you f_shiraz knob.

f_shiraz knob. Lovely.

If innocent people were murdered by the British Army in his home town. F_shiraz knob.
I wouldn't be too pleased about remembering that institution either. F_shiraz knob.

All in all it's his prerogative.

[Derek]

Tell me where you found your reliable source about innocent people being killed?

[Derek]

Also if you are reffering to Bloody Sunday all the way back in the 70's, im not sure how a child was murdered outside his house considering he wasnt born until late 80's.

[The Kop]

Your Prime Minister issued an official apology!!!!!!!

[The Kop]

Ding ding ding.

Right. What does it matter if it was 15 years or so apart. If you know a terrible thing happened in front of your house that stirred deep emotions in your community, probably a memorial site, which you walk past on your way out then on your way in the house every single day it's gonna leave an impression.


Like I said, it;s his prerogative and in context you can understand why.

If the day was only about the British Army then he might have a point. The fact that German soldiers have marched on Remembrance Sunday shows that isn't the case.

It's his perogative not to wear it and it my perogative to call him a champagne and hope he never plays in England again. If he wants to live in Great Britain then he needs to learn to respect matters like this. If not, he should shiraz off to another country where that is acceptable. Unfortunately, some irish died in both world wars as well, maybe he should remember that as well.

You call it "murder" I call it taking out terrorists. I don't think there's ever been any proof that innocents have been murdered by the British Army (the ira cannot say the same). Innocents may have been caught in crossfire but no proof that they were ever targeted. Unlike the ira.

I hope the champagne next cabernet is a hedgehog and he dies of the bleeding.

is it ok to 'yawn' during a remembrance day service???

Even the 2nd enquiry (which was a smokescreen to help the peace movement) stated that they fired initially on armed terrorist members. mcguinness himself was there and armed.

Also, the day isn't just about the British Army.

yawning is an involuntary muscle movement.

[Derek]

KOP has no idea what hes talking about and is probably looking on google now to educate himself the best he can on the matter.

[The Kop]

I couldn't care less to be honest.

But yes shoot the Northern Irishman who refuses to wear the poppy - are you at all surprised.....don't be daft.

[MegaBonus]

cant help yourself....defending the indefensible.....

If you couldnt care less perhaps dont post on this topic.

This was sent to me by a mate who's a sunderland season ticket holder

At the end of the day, its a free country & he's free to say, do and wear what he likes.

He's also free to p*ss off back to potato land if he doesn't like and respect the traditions and sense of decency of the country he's earning his money in.

[God is an Englishman]

I also, was surprised that someone did so. I expected a possible somthing from the celtic mob but still expected them to have more decency.

[MegaBonus]

dont think this bloke supports the bhoys..........

[Derek]

Nice try.

[God is an Englishman]

As I said yawning is involuntary so I don't really get your point.

[pernunz]

I thought soldiers fought and died to protect the freedom of speech?

[Litmanen]

As I said yawning is involuntary so I don't really get your point.

You can hold it in.

[MegaBonus]

its also silly to suggest a foreigner applying his trade in his 'host' country must agree with its foreign policy......

would i be offended if any of our foreign players at adl ut didnt support our involvement in afghanistan????....No!!!!

Can you? I can't.
