@InLevyITrust I've read all your posts on this thread, there is reason your being quoted so much and it's ignorance. The same double standards that the FA have towards the issue of race and discrimination. I don't like James McClean but admire him for bringing up this issue. Who are you to be judging McClean for playing for the ROI, if you knew the sectarianism involved with Northern Ireland international team you would understand. It's hard to not take the troubles out of this issue, if you knew where he group up it's understandable him not wearing a poppy. I grew up in Northern Ireland on a border town and I wouldn't wear one but understand why people do, I have respect for there right too. It comes down to freedom of choice, people and the British press making an issue of it. Politics should never be in football in opinion. Your giving your opinion but it's snidey remarks with properly saying what you think of McClean. He grew up in Derry or London-Derry on the border. He's not wearing it because of how it impacted his family growing up. It's not a fecking fashion statement or trying to be controversial, there is a reason behind it. Regardless of your political view or mine, nobody should be forced to wear something that they don't agree with.
