Hmmm it looked like we were going get by without any controversy over the poppy this year!

Who was winding him up about it? I've no idea of the context on this!

JustTheOne · 29-10-2015 9:24pm

Silly. Gonna cause a ****storm leading up to the fight.

Apparently he was pictured wearing a poppy at someting on some ra heads are a abuseing him over it hence the bit saying sit in the pub with your Celtic Jersey so he is saying fcuk the ra heads but also fcuk the queen I think so basically fcuk both sides

john why · 29-10-2015 9:30pm

EuskalHerria · 29-10-2015 9:31pm

I seen it here first but it's a post on his Facebook page with an almighty sh1t storm in the comments

PM me nudes · 29-10-2015 9:50pm

This is worse than the Nazi saga

Standman · 29-10-2015 10:00pm

A bit silly he said fuck the queen, but hardly that controversial overall.

moneyman · 29-10-2015 10:02pm

It's not that bad in context (except for the "**** the queen" part which is unnecessary and will alienate him to some).

mikeym · 29-10-2015 10:02pm

Hes lost a lot of Northern Ireland fans on both sides.

He wears the poppy and slags the Queen.

Foolish man.

It's pretty hilarious when you put it like that. :pac::pac:

You forgot the English and Scottish fans as well though. I'm sure some of them will take offense.

Anyone who doesn't support him because of that isn't much of loss

loudnoises89 · 29-10-2015 10:07pm

That rules him out of the London card in February then.

moneyman · 29-10-2015 10:07pm

Skimming through the comments on that, it's insane the amount of people who are completely missing his point and slating him. It's like they didn't even bother to read it. Suppose that goes hand in hand with the type of people who comment on those things (generally speaking).

It's like everyone who was waiting on this years poppy controversy has just been sitting F5'ing waiting for this and then just went mental :pac::pac:

This is what I find so silly. He wears the poppy, and then in defending himself against those criticising his wearing the poppy, he slates the symbolism of the poppy, and to add a bit more to his 'defence' he utters classless words about a head of state. Was he on the sauce for this odd and illogical outburst?

Zero-Cool · 29-10-2015 10:19pm

He needs to take a leaf out of the ol Jon Jones social media book, specifically the chapter about getting hacked.

Maybe it was a hack. But no way would it surprise me if it wasn't.

stephenl15 · 29-10-2015 10:23pm

Definitely went too far saying Fúck the Queen. But that's just Conor and a part of why he's such a big personality and why he's so successful

Personality to whom? I can only think that type of behaviour appeals to skangers.

Deadst4r · 29-10-2015 10:26pm

These comments on Facebook are amazing, the gift that keeps on giving.

dave1982 · 29-10-2015 10:29pm

What the **** he's on Facebook, 8 weeks out from a fight ???

martyos121 · 29-10-2015 10:30pm

He should just go down to the Winchester, have a pint and wait till this all blows over...

....unless there are lads there with Celtic jerseys.

El Guapo! · 29-10-2015 10:30pm

Mod: Any more of the "skanger" type comments and people will be asked not to post in this thread again.

Yeah cos his personality hasn't helped get himself to the top of the sport and caused so many people to tune in to his fights regardless of what they think of him:rolleyes: Along with RR and JJ he's the face of the UFC and that's a lot to do with his personality

Lucas Hood · 29-10-2015 10:34pm

He must be taking a few too many shots to the head in training.

Paully D · 29-10-2015 10:40pm

I think the point of his message is pretty clear.

Some people are having a go at him and criticising his alligence to the Republic of Ireland because he wore the poppy and he feels a lot of these same people will be the type that have achieved nothing in his eyes but throw a Celtic jersey on and think they're the next Michael Collins.

Don't like what he said? Pay €17.99 for a PPV in the hope that you see him lose at UFC 194. He's no fool.

That_Guy · 29-10-2015 10:40pm

I wonder what John Kavanagh makes of all this given the stance he took over that Reebok t-shirt.

ronanc1000 · 29-10-2015 10:42pm

Forgive my lack of knowledge on the poppy but why did conor wear it at ufc Dublin? I thought the poppy was worn mainly in the UK? For instance you'd see it on TV on all UK shows by presenters this time of year. I thought the poppy represented predominantly English people.

Speaking about the specific post from Conor, my point stands.

He wore it at UFC Manchester ages ago, the video has only shown up recently I think

Did he not take pop at Norman park bout deciding if he English or Irish.

ronanc1000 · 29-10-2015 10:46pm

So in other words, he is saying he's Irish (obviously) but F the Republicans and F the British empire? Yet he worn the poppy and maintains it reperesents all men lost at war?

I thought it was in response to someone calling him out on the hypocrisy of using the Foggy Dew as an entrance song and then going and wearing a british poppy.

It's funny how he's taking a pop at the barstool brigade when they are exactly the kind of people he tries to appeal to

Yeah, he's pretty much saying he doesn't give a f**k either way, and now both sides are doing their best to take it personally. "**** the queen" was unnecessary but he has a point (ie. who gives a toss).

dave1982 · 29-10-2015 10:51pm

Ironically with all this McGregor is a Scottish name

Being honest, this is kind of where I fall on the matter too. It's all just nonsense but lots of people died because of it all the same. Grow up and stop taking sides.

You're mental if you think that's the case. I doubt Conor could give a feck about them as they represent very little/next to nothing in terms of making him money. Seems like a cheap shot maybe because you don't like him.

Unless I misinterpreted what you mean by barstool brigade.

I never said I was on a particular side, I just wanted to understand his outburst more.
