    In matches up and down the country over the weekend we had Germans, Italians and Japs wearing Poppies. What must they be thinking?

    I really don't care about the Poppy (not enough to stop my kids wearing them anyway) and couldn't care if you wear one or not - I just don't like a society that coerces people into wearing them - it's not about the symbol itself or even what it stands for, it's the Daily Mail/Follow Follow *****s who get excited every time someone like James McClean chooses not to wear one. Every year we get these *****s screaming 'get in line or die' and every year they need to be told to **** off and mind their own business.

    Anyway that's my opinion - I get that you don't have an opinion either way and that's ok - although presumably you wouldn't mind if a Follow Follow ***** demanded that you wear one and questioned your Britishness, or even (as in McClean's case) your right to live in Britain, if you don't.

    Why repeatedly mention Rangers fans? Because politics and the 'Old Firm' are intrinsically linked in your psychology. You're just as bad as these so-called *****s for living in the past, the difference being you're intelligent enough to know better. Making you the bigger dickhead.

    Because I read the abuse being directed at McClean by Rangers fans (as someone interested in Scottish football and the Old Firm rivalry in particular) and I also read the Daily Mail comments section - so I mentioned both of them?

    Anyway you didn't address any of my points, just launched a lazy personal attack on me. Edge does the same thing - he agrees with me when I spout Thatcherite opinions (not normally associated with fenians from Belfast), then points out I'm a big fenian when I do have an opinion which just happens to typical of a fenian from Belfast. Is it not possible that I hold free-market, freedom-of-conscience (for instance not be coerced into wearing a Poppy) opinions as part of a well considered Liberal idealogical position?

    You seem to have confused me with someone looking to engage in an informed adult debate. I'm just here to pick apart people and their beliefs while concurrently making crass comments.

    Reading the Daily Mail & Follow Follow then getting your rage on. Who is the real childish one out of the pair of us? At least I'm a self-confessed **** and not masquerading as some kind of intellectual while wallowing in the comments of the ignorant.

    I've made no reference to which version of Christianity that your community belongs to, more the fact that you still subscribe to the mutant Irish logic. I don't give a **** whether you're a Prod, Loyalist, Unionist or a RC, Nat, Republican. You are a *****.

    It's really that simple.

    If you want to wear a poppy, fine, if not then also fine.

    I'd like to think that we all are grateful though.

    I sometimes wonder how many people who hold these rabid anti Catholic/Protestant views, actually visit a church of their particular faith on Sundays. I don't ever go to church but I don't bang on about hating Catholics or anybody else whilst using religion to back it up.
