wattie,
As soon as the poppy became a symbol of the current armed forces as well as remembrance for those that died in the wars it was always going to become politicised. I agree they should wear the poppy on their shirts but i understand why they don't. I notice they make a 10k donation every year to the poppy charity and ultimately thats the most important thing at the end of the day.
I think they will lose a game eventually,probably around the european ties. Its nearly happened already with st johnstone and hibs.
