Poppies on Man Utd shirts????

enough of this poppy sh1t. so fcking what.

They're playing in RED.

not manditory as far as i know..how do we know each player hasnt bought a poppy?

Well said MP.

utter disgrace. first time ive ever wanted chelsea to win a match

Absolutely disgraceful, they should hang their heads in shame.

I was just asking, I cant see them thats all

ballack,s not got one

You utter s**mad paddy, how can you refer to this 'poppy ****'. This is millions of people that died for our freedoms you disrespectful c***.

I assume all you seethers are sat at home wearing a poppy now?

Lol official, well said.

mad paddy

you can disagree with it and argue the case as I am not overly keen on wearing poppies as at present that is what we are fighting over. BUT to call it poppy s*** shows a lack of respect for people far braver than you.

It's obvious you're not you disrespectful cretin.

wooo keyboard warrior

shut the fck up chris u clown.im refering to all the threads on this all ready. so what if they havent got them u clown. does that make them disrespectful?? catch a grip.

what's the point in wearing a poppy on your football shirt - seriously, what difference does it make?

surely far far better for each player to make a personal donation to the poppy appeal?

why get so worked up about it?

They've decided against it apparently.This is the same team that will sell the front of its shirt to the highest bidder.
I notice that the Mna Utd propaganda dept. (sky sports) chose to brush that aside very quickly and then told us how Ferguson has met the troops etc etc.
They are are a **in disgrace and so is mad paddy

Correct, I don't tend to sit about with poppies on... just making a point, just because you're not wearing a poppy doesn't mean you're not respectful.

I'm not wearing a poppy while posting this tbh

do you all point out people in the high street and shout out ''cretin'' to all those not wearing one?

ROFFLE

thanks O B S,

wasnt the genareal idea of all this to auction off the shirts so the money was raised that way ?

Do the threads cause you that much concern? Millions die and you aren't prepared once a year to let it slightly intrude on your foottball forum? And even if it really is too much for you to see it on the football forum to call it 'poppy ****' is hugely offensive.

theres 11 poppies in them

Yes CRETINS, I've got five.

ROFL


tbh , most on here probably havent got any further than wearing underpants & a bib..

slightly intrude?? its come up numerous times. as i said just because they havent a poppy doesnt make them disrespectful. so fck off.

the problem with all the poppy wearing etc is that it creates a shortfall with other equally deserving causes (which is why i'm not overkeen on all the show)

one charity which becomes 'high profile' will benefit at the expense of others .

people can only afford to donate so much

although after saying that £1 in a poppy tin isnt going to break anyone i guess

I didn't say they were disrespectful i said you were. If you really regard the poppy being mentioned on this forum as a problem you are one hell of a sad c***

I've just made this post without wearing one. I am utterly ashamed of myself :|

I think you will find they were ALL wearing poppy's on their club blazers when they arrived at the stadium, so i assume the THEY being referred to as disrespectful are the powers that be who made the decision, rather than the individuals representing United today.

sj

its funny how its the man u fans sticking up for them.... nothing new there but this being said its not the players or managers fault and i bet next year they will be having them on the shirts

it is when its mentioned so much.peopole making such a big deal when teams dont wear them.

When did poppy wearing on football shirts start & did the people getting upset by it make an issue of it when nobody wore them? It's only started in the last few years and never used to be an issue. As I said on another thread my grandad was a ww1 veteran and he hated the poppy as a symbol as it was originally American and he didn't have a terribly high opinion of u.s. military!

No. Why should there be?

It is a nice touch from Chelsea. Good to remember all those brave souls.

maybe some nationalities on the utd team dont have any good memories of british invasions.

Why are people surprised that Man Utd as a club have decided they're above the idea of paying respect , along with many other clubs this weekend , to previous generations having laid their lives down for something they believe in ?
Some clubs have have decided it's important to them . Man Utd have decided that it isn't . That's all ......

It's just the usual anti United brigade. They lead very sad and boring lives and will look at anything possible that will let them have a go at United.

just for the record, when i said enough of this poppies sh1t earlier. i meant all the threds that start up cos a team doesnt have them. not being disrespectful to the poppy symbol.

why are people accused of being anti Man Utd when they state things against Man Utd. I find it a bad show that they chose not to.

As with Liverpool I believe tomorrow night if what I hear is correct. I will have the same opinion of them for it as well.

Jimmy, go and look at my Northwich / Charlton thread ?? Why didn't we have a dozen threads about those 2 teams ??

The poppy is sod all to do with British soldiers - as already stated it was originally American and it has become a symbol to remember all the dead of all nationalities killed in conflicts. If you only remember the British dead then you are completley missing the point of wearing a poppy!

apologies jimmyk and the rest if you taught i was disrespecting what the poppy stands for. i wasnt.

Liverpool only observe local events. Anything outside Merseyside and it's completely alien to them.

Not often I'd say this but well done Man Utd.

Not bowing to the forces of meaningless tokenism.

Still want them to lose though.

People who bring petty football rivalries into a thread such as this like the pathetic birchola above should be ashamed of themselves. Sad, sad individuals.

RULE BRITAANIA**, THSE PEOPLE ARE THE DISGRACE THAT PAY THIS TUNE AT PARADES

this is football not politics. United players have died in both world wars. Why they should be worn in the actual games is beyond me - some of the players dont give a sh1te anyway

the ref wearing one? No, lets chastise him

i could have sworn blind i spotted a couple of fans behind the chelsea goal, blatantly not wearing poppies :0

As the father of an 18 year olld black watch soldier just back from Afghan my opinion is there is no right or wrong in wearing a poppy it is a PERSONAL choice just because you dont wear one does not mean you do not care or think any less of all our heros past and present

"You utter s *** mad paddy, how can you refer to this 'poppy ****'. This is millions of people that died for our freedoms you disrespectful c***."

One assumes that includes the freedom to not wear a poppy, or to say what you like about those who wear poppies and those who don't, and indeed to refer to the tradition of wearing poppies in whatever manner one pleases?

avertuoso-some sense there -well said

all tokenism aint it ?

Chelsea/Man C/ Wolves/Arsenal dont want to be seen in a bad light , bad for their club image .


All a load of hypocracy really

Exactly, the Poppy Fascism Brigade are out in force.
It's seems only in the las few years we have been getting this thrown down our throats, no coincidence that the Afgan/Iraq occupation started at the same time.
