The players made it clear he has no problem with the poppy if it's to mark world wars, but he can't do it as it's been expanded to cover all conflicts....including one where the British army opened fire on civilians from his community.

LS is right about the 'poppy porn' that's been allowed to develop for commercial and political reasons. I've always felt a football ground isn't the right place for remembrance anyway.

The FA are absolutely right to try and stop the abuse the lads getting, it's becoming embarrassing. Wish the SFA would start taking a similar stand on anti-irish racism.
