    ALREADY Rio Ferd. HAS DEFENDED JAMES OVER HIS PRRSONAL DESISION.
    This jouralist covers the north east of england and its not the first time he has attacked mc clean.
    This paper publishes in the irish market as the irish daily mail, they should be ashamed of the filth they published today, in fact they have been publishing anti irish filth for a long time.
    I omly joined here today to highlight this to decent people in the hope that we will avoid this newspaper and this writer, soory for my spelling but i am so angry that in 2012 we have to read this anti irish filth.
    If i have posted this in the wrong place or forum, can somone repost it where it will be read so we can force this rag to change its anti irish opions

    In other news, the pope has confessed to being catholic and a beer was caught crapping in the woods

    I support wearing the poppy but not forcing people to wear it. That's shíte.

    The Mail is a bloody rag all right but will never change as it depends on its fiftysomething south of England anti EU anti everything brigade. I would suggest cutting it into squares and hanging them on a hook in your nearest toilet, but you'd want a really hard arse to use it as toilet paper.

    Try posting comments under the article online.

    Because an estimated 30,000 people died in WW1 from Ireland. Simple as. It's a symbol remembering those who died, and nothing more.

    in that case,i would have no hesitation in buying a green poppy and wearing it with pride but to wear another countries tribute to their fallen etc i dont deem right, just my opinion

    I do not agree with some of what the FSA did but they were the official Army of Ireland at the time.Also something they did were under direct threat from Britain to do so, it was a very fragile time in Ireland which split families down the middle.

    This thread is not about remembering the war dead, it is about why would an Irish person wear a poppy.

    We wear a poppy to remember our war dead

    i think you'l find we were always grown up as a nation, as for an individual once a person reaches a certain age they usually stop growing all though i have heard of some person (think he lived in canada) who kept growing, think he ended up around 8 foot?

    Hmmm simplistic knee jerk anti brit stuff as I'd expect.

    However I note from the Irish Times letters page Paddy Harte the former Fine Gael TD is proposing a specific Irish poppy to commemmorate the Irish dead in past wars.

    Perhaps if there was an Irish poppy available more people could wear them safe that they wouldn't fall foul of the Irish Anti-Poppy taliban

    It all comes under the one umbrella doesnt it, I wouldnt wear one, even if 35000 Irish served them, what about all the Irish their army have murdered and tortured throughout the years. Bloody Sunday? many unarmed people they murdered, some just teenagers. not to mention the others around the world, the women and children they've murdered. So yeah I do think they're scum.

    Scum?

    There were comments on the Daily Mail site calling for McClean to be shot dead for refusing to wear a poppy. They had to disable comments on the article because they were that vicious. Bunch of fcuking cretins.

    the headling from that third indo article is .....
    "Outrage as man arrested for posting picture of burning poppy on Facebook"

    am very relieved now.
    I heard it on BBC radio there in passing and I thought someone had set fire to a puppy (dog) .

    Burning a puppy is evil.
    Burning a poppy is not in the same league.

    Had to do a double take on that one. It's like a news report from North Korea or some other oppressive totalitarian state. Shocking stuff.

    No, but he was also arrested for making obscenities, so I guess that is what he was arrested for. Hopefully burning a Poppy isn't an offence.

    Sadly there's a bunch of cretins that will give James McClean abuse for anything he does.
