November 10, 201312 yr All the F.A. Cup first round highlights here: http://www.itv.com/sport/football/article/2013-11-09/fa-cup-first-round-highlights/ Cracking atmosphere at the Grimsby v Scunthorpe derby. St. Albans ground looks like it's in the middle of a forest.
November 10, 201312 yr As long as the gypsy encampment is no longer next to the ground think we will be ok. They all live in houses now mounts! The whole town is one big gypo camp. And Mr Diver...all forms of pedantry are banned on the sabbath. ????
November 10, 201312 yr They all live in houses now mounts! The whole town is one big gypo camp. And Mr Diver...all forms of pedantry are banned on the sabbath. Especially if correct?
November 10, 201312 yr Corby v Dover http://www.backpageimages.com/photos/2585353#.Un9YRnkgGc0 Is that their version of Spazzy Darren getting a slap, in the grey marlers?
November 10, 201312 yr That odious little cunt James McLean been sent home by the Pies for refusing to wear a poppy shirt (again)
November 10, 201312 yr That odious little cunt James McLean been sent home by the Pies for refusing to wear a poppy shirt (again) Well done Wigan. Little wanker
November 10, 201312 yr Sunderland defended very resolutely but City lacked any real width and were very predictable then Great atmosphere too. Just a shame we had to listen to Niall Quinn I'm enjoying the Premiership this season with the Manc clubs and Chelsea inconsistent Long may it continue
November 10, 201312 yr That odious little cunt James McLean been sent home by the Pies for refusing to wear a poppy shirt (again) Where have you seen that?
November 10, 201312 yr That odious little cunt James McLean been sent home by the Pies for refusing to wear a poppy shirt (again) Dickhead 30,000 Irish died in WW1. No respect
November 10, 201312 yr A bit of argie bargie yesterday down Cleethorpes Pier http://www.scunthorpetelegraph.co.uk/UPDATE-100-fans-riot-Cleethorpes-sea-Grimsby-Town/story-20057875-detail/story.html this fixture has history of trouble
November 10, 201312 yr Good to see the Norwich scarfers wearing their replica shirts. Sticking it to glazer where it hurts and an fcum scarf too?
November 10, 201312 yr Where have you seen that? says here its not true but http://www.independent.ie/sport/wigan-deny-reports-that-james-mcclean-was-dropped-for-refusing-to-wear-poppy-29742127.html
November 10, 201312 yr says here its not true but http://www.independent.ie/sport/wigan-deny-reports-that-james-mcclean-was-dropped-for-refusing-to-wear-poppy-29742127.html Even if it was true, it should be his choice. Personally think people should wear one, but telling people to wear a poppy is ridiculous. It's all about people wanting to remember and wanting to do their bit for those who still need help - showing that you care. When it becomes compulsory, it's no longer about people showing that sentiment, it's just a hollow badge.

November 10, 201312 yr Until relatively recently quite a few clubs didn't even have the poppy symbol on their shirts: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1225325/Poppy-power-Now-Premier-clubs-refusing-Sportsmails-campaign-honour-heroes.html 'That leaves only three in the Premier League — Manchester United, Liverpool and Bolton who will play at the weekend without a poppy on their shirts in stubborn defiance of public opinion.'
November 10, 201312 yr So he doesn't want to remember the Irish who died in the war?I'm not condoning not wearing one, but I'm sure there is more to it than not wanting to respect the dead (I don't actually know his reasons apart from being from Derry.) Edited November 10, 201312 yr by tomski
November 10, 201312 yr So he doesn't want to remember the Irish who died in the war? Probably not. But it's his choice. Clubs should give players the option, then the fans can see which players do care - and judge them accordingly.
November 10, 201312 yr I'm not condoning not wearing one, but I'm sure there is more to it than not wanting to respect the dead (I don't actually know his reasons apart from being from Derry.) I reckon he's forgotten his history
November 10, 201312 yr I reckon he's forgotten his historyMay well have, but he sets himself up for a lot of grief not to wear one and I suspect in his own head he has his reasons what they are? Who knows, Irish history isn't a strong point of mine.
