But I do think that is different. In that circumstance you would actually be disturbing people while they try to have the 2 mins silence. You would actually be infringing upon their right to have the silence. Simply not wearing a poppy doesn't have that same effect. That is a personal choice...

Would guess a fair few British Muslims wouldn't wear one either. As long as people respect the dead I have no problem. We should never make the wearing of any emblem such as this compulsory. Much ado about nothing stirred by hate filled papers such as the Daily Mail I reckon. I'm pretty sure...

Tis a silly little story. Only a couple of years ago, 15 of the Premiership clubs chose to wear poppies, 5 didn't. Personal choice. You can respect the dead without having to wear the symbol.

You didn't post this 'Home Truths' last week though did you.

'Some have criticized the level of compulsion associated with the custom of wearing a poppy, something Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow has called "poppy fascism". Columnist Dan O'Neill wrote that "presenters and politicians seem to compete in a race to be first – poppies start sprouting in...

But he is Irish and many Irish people were killed by the British Army during all the troubles. 'The poppy is especially controversial in Northern Ireland and most Irish Nationalists and Irish Catholics refuse to wear one due to the actions of the British Army during the troubles.' Most it...

He is within his rights to do so and it is entirely wrong for him to receive abuse too. Surely wearing a poppy is one of personal choice.

But if you believe this all so sincerely, why didn't you post this after we lost at home to Scunthorpe rather than wait until we won on Saturday?

Scunny did okay. They drew.

Was probably given that name so he could drum up some support.

Let's hope he puts in consistently good performances from now on. The whole team needs consistency and what other better place to start than with the captain.

Lloyd, Kieran?

I shouldn't really be saying this without clearing it with my peers first ..... but I can confirm us Realists are quite confidently able to predict a top 1st to 24th place finish this season. You heard it here first.

Not even seen the film. Yet another horrible episode in the recent history of the world. Good job we've only had 21 centuries to get everything right isn't it. :censored:

The Realists triumph in the end.We have the intelligence, the sword of common sense and the power of history behind us! Come the end of the season we will be having a ticker tape parade while the optimists become pessimistic and jump off bridges and the pessimists become more optimisitc about...

It's not just the football. The Beeb do it with everything. I remember once last year on the news they called David Cameron a politician.

I would simply follow the giraffe. Always been a big fan of the long ball game. Favourite player would have to be one of the Crainie's. Or Peter Crouch.

He's not the player we were told to expect for sure. He's more of a mopping up player in front of the back 4. He's more Clingan than Doyle for sure.

Funny isn't it. Used to find that every time I started typing Kevin Kyle it used to just keep coming up with 'shit.'

Agree with that. We need a ball winner in the middle of the park. Someone who can harry and harrass and break up play and help us gain possession of the ball. We need a bit of bite. Hoped that would be Bailey, but he's not quite that type of player.
