Wrong his sympathies lie with the dissident republicans,but again that’s another story..edit just in case some get the wrong end of the stick I am in no way sticking up for the cnut either ..

I stand by what I said, dissident republicans.... same thing different name.

Well that’s not quite right,but only interested in achieving their goal of an all Ireland by bullets and bombs no interest in gaining it through peaceful means ...

Maybe red and black doesn't suit him.

I feel so sorry for you, I genuinely do mate.

Please don't call me "mate".

You're easily on ignore now, thanks for letting me know to do so.

Doesn’t that depend on which side of the sectarian divide you are from?

Not really, Manchester is Manchester regardless of what colour or creed you are

Quoting Bobby Sands in reponse to fans abusing him for not wearing a poppy and being an IRA sympathiser only pours petrol onto the fire. Not the sharpest tool in the box is he?

Total shite. Just to repeat, it's not about deciding not to wear a poppy, it's about supporting murdering scum. This shithouse hasn't even got the balls to come out and admit it. And as for the Sterling reference, fucking pathetic attempt at correlation.

This has been my suspicion all along. If it indeed was just to commemorate only those soldiers who died in the 2 world wars, does anyone seriously believe he’d wear one? For me, his statement a few years back is utter bullshit but then he’s hardly going to come out and say what he really feels because the shit truly would hit the fan. If he really was a champion of civil rights, he wouldn’t just be highlighting Bloody Sunday - he’d also be asking the IRA to cough up information with regards to the whereabouts of “The Disappeared”.

As for the general debate about wearing the poppy itself, well I have my own issues regarding “Poppy fascism” but that’s a different matter.

Even if red ???

Now that's going too far!
