As the other thread was hijacked, politically, and closed, except for mods, of course, I thought Id post this straight from alan Browne as to why no poppy was worn last night.


[FONT=&quot]"Just to touch on the poppy for people asking, the shirt I was given had no gps tracker so I didn’t have a choice, nothing else to it. 2/2"

They’re was plenty of other players who’s didn’t have a poppy too. Not just Browne .. nothing in it 🙂

Was the most interesting part of the second half last night, working out who had a poppy on their shirt and who didn't and any possible motives behind it. For the second half I reckon Browne, Boyle, Johnson and Fisher didn't have a poppy on.

I take it the "Browne" shirt with the poppy does exist and will be auctioned off for the Poppy Appeal, signed by the man himself of course.
 
The British Legion stance on poppies is 'wearing one is obviously not compulsory, but is greatly appreciated by those who benefit from it.'
Just saying, like.
Personally, I'm not fussed either way, some years I've bought a poppy and some years I haven't. Some years I'll go to the cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday and some years I don't. I'm not offended by someone who doesn't wear one.

My view as well, Harry - not bothered at all whether anyone wears one or not. It's entirely up to them 🙂
 
Been a supporter of th Royal British Legion most of my life as were both my parents, I honestly dont see an issue here, Brownes shirt had no poppy he explained why, no disrespect seems to have been shown. What am I missing why are people having a go ?

It's the way these days. The PC brigade have got to jump on everyone for any story or non story. How sad.

Not sure it was the PC brigade. It was all started by the now banned Marsbar who went into one of his epic meltdowns and started abusing people left, right and centre.

Not sure what it has to do with political correctness anyway - I suspect that most of the people kicking up a fuss about people not wearing poppies would describe themselves as part of the PC brigade! 🙂

Depends what the P and the C stand for in this context....I can think of a few for poor old Marsbar, none of which include the words political or correct 😉

Agree, I have my reasons for not wearing them as others have for wearing them. Just don't assume its disrespect on my behalf, its a stance I have had to defend on many occassions and so far when explained people in general understand although they disagree.
