    Agreed as will I...but I get upset when people try to turn wearing a poppy into some political propaganda . If people don’t agree about wearing one so be it. However criticising someone else for wearing one is another thing..........

    Just to take this "political" thing on. If I go into St Mary´s Stadium with the SFC emblazoned on the UK flag, I would be ok, but if I went in with SFC woven into the the fabric of an EU flag, that would be political, I suppose.?

    Seen him score two goals earlier in the season against Blackpool. Looks very good TBF but a year in championship next season and we'll see what he's made off. Pity he has a poor choice in clubs with pompey and Derry!

    I wear a poppy and tomorrow in particular. My mum died on 11th November (not in the war before you buggers ask) and for the first couple of years, Armistice Day was a tough day, but now I like the fact the whole country remembers my mum on that speacial day.

    Lest we forget....
