By:
It's not mandatory is what i'm saying Freddie at the end of the day it's his choice to wear one or not and people should respect that.
|
|
By:
It's his choice
I doubt all the supporters wore them, and I don't have one on now although I wore one to work today |
|
By:
but it was bloody disrespectful, what exactly was his reasons for this?
|
|
By:
His reasons??Maybe 800 years!!
|
|
By:
WE have to respect HIS CHOICE are you serious?
|
|
By:
He's an Irish Republican. Maybe that's why.
|
|
By:
Plenty of Irish died in the great war, are they not worth remembering, the thick ****
|

By:
british army is very unpopular in mcclean's home town. id recommend u look into why that is before judging him
|
|
By:
We have a silence to honour all those that have fallen in all conflicts
That he observes that will suffice The poppies are to pay for those fallen on hard times through loss or or injury, that fought on our side We should not expect everyone to wear them, against their will |

mc clean lives near me..... nobody here would wear a poppy. good lad james
|
|
By:
the people giving off would be fighting on the other side during the world wars.
|
|
By:
Why be so disrespectful to the country you live and work in.
Some of those Irish kunntz are really bitter. Can we have our bail out money back please??? |

By:
Any other N Irish plyers in the premiership? Did they observe the silence and wear the poppy shirt?
|
|
By:
no they had a dance and sing song during the silence! ffs
|
|
By:
there would be quite a lot of protestant irish footballers who wore the poppy today. but their experience of the british army is different from catholics like mcclean
|
|
By:
mc clean is irish... n ireland is not a nationality HTH
|
|
By:
difficult situation for McClean. his club would have wanted him to wear one but he may have got grief from people back in derry if he did wear it. he goes back there a lot
|
|
By:
my point mighty was any other NI player didnt do what Mc Clean did,isnt John o'Shea NI, he wore the poppy shirt
|
|
By:
o'shea is from waterford.
|
|
By:
And he's the type of guy who'll do whatever he's told.
|
|
By:
No complaint about U.K. when their hand is out for cash.
Go home Mclean and support your troops. |
|
By:
*O'Shea.
|
|
By:
the poppy is a british tradition.there is no need for irish players to wear it.especially considering the history of british troops in ireland.
|
|
By:
^^^ correct
|
|
By:
Personal choice. This is a complete non story.
|
|
By:
i walked past at least 100 people 2day on the street who were not wearing 1 either....who do i report this to....surely this can't be allowed....ffs, what a stupid non-story all this really is
|
|
By:
Where is this 'story', heard nothing of it apart from this thread?
|
|
By:
If a white player refused to wear those T-Shirts last week,would that have been OK??
|
|
By:
those t-shirts were meant as a stance against racism,nothing to do with raising money for british troops??
|
|
By:
So what was the players who didn't wear them stance?
|
|
By:
not supporting a foreign army considering the recent past in his own region.
|
|
By:
good idea fully123, lets reopen that old non story by complicating it with somenthing that didn't happen and run it along side this non story and we can have all have a moan up about the 2 stories at the same time

By:
He lives in England,He works in England,He takes the British pound.

|
By:

|
|
By:
