Rioch's Braves 711 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 McClean doesn't wear the poppy because he's from an estate in Northern Ireland where 6 people were killed on Bloody Sunday. He's said numerous times that'd he'd wear the poppy if it was restricted to remembering those who died in world wars but as it's also used to remember those soldiers who died during the troubles, he doesn't. Which is fair enough, he shouldn't be booed for it. I agree shouldn't be booed, but he wasn't even born when the troubles in Northern Ireland were taking place, so he must have been keen on Irish history, or its been bred into him, will leave it at though.

As someone who doesn't believe the monarchy holds any real place in modern Britain other than tourist value, good on him.

Borodane 6,299 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Fischer just set up eriksens goal with a delightful first timed back heel pass on the edge of the box. He is pure energy today. And almost broke the bar with a thunderbolt from 25 meters. Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,299 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 And Fischer has just won a penalty with some quick movement inside the box. Eriksens misses though. Fischer has been our best attacker. He always makes the right decisions. Link to post Share on other sites
