You've not addressed my point Colin. If he has that much of a problem with respecting the people who made his lifestyle possible, perhaps his morality will stop him earning his living in the same country? I don't doubt he's a moral chap, hes made that clear, so Prehaps he'll look to earn his living elsewhere. Thats what I'd do if I had no respect for the country I worked in. After making such a statement we wouldn't want there to be any double standards would we.

So when Lambert, Lallana and so on take the field they don't represent SFC they represent themselves? Do you believe that when ever any unsavoury reports are in the media about SFC players it doesnt reflect badly on the club, or only on the player in question? Also what about this players moral view of not respecting the people who made it possible to enjoy the lifestyle does?

It might not have been. Before the easter uprising plenty of catholics fought with the British. Plenty of catholics and Irish have died on foreign soil fighting for us. And I'm sure plenty of people from Sunderland have died or fought for their country. Does McClean represent them or himself?

You're right of course,it is his right. our fathers fathers and their fathers made this possible. You have to question how much it means to him though, like a lot of people that have come into this country, happy to take, not so happy to give.

Where do you stand on his moral crusade? He's happy to earn an undoubtably good living in this country, but not willing to respect those who died to make it possible.

Maybe I'm grateful for what I've got and appreciate those who made it possible? As I said above,if the Irish lad has such a moral issue with it, maybe he should earn his living and pay tax in another country?

Why is it? Is it really that big an ask to respect the lives of people that died to enjoy the freedom that you do now? If this Irish fella has got such an issue with it then surely he wouldnt want to work or pay tax to a country he is so opposed to.

I disagree. If people want to earn a living in this country and put themselves in the public eye, then they should, respect our customs and history. Thyedont repesent themselves, they reprsent the city they play for. People have pointed out that he has a freedom to choose to wear a poppy or not. If brave men hadn't died he wouldn't have this right and he wouldn't have the lifestyle he enjoys now. If he's got that high a moral view of it he can always f*ck off and earn his living elsewhere.

Very well said Dave. For all those arguing its his choice not to wear it. Well if these brave men hadn't died for us he wouldn't have the choice he enjoys now.

Oh, and another obsessed one appears, all we need is Greenridge and they'll all be here!

He's having a break down hypo, as you can see from his last page of posts. Look and see whst taking Internet forums too seeiously can do to you. However, It's as times like this we need to show our support to fellow members of the forum.

Have you been following me to work?! You've got me spot on with that!! We all stand around in our comedy ties asking people where the pork is. Oh how we laugh.

So you haven't even got drink to blame for your tantrum. Oh dear..... It's funny as feck though, in fact th funniest thing you've ever contributed.

For which its arguable that if Brave men hadn't fought and died, he might never be earning.

A man of your age having a drunken melt down on a mongboard, it's as sad as it is funny.

"Most" on here Francis? Are you the new Nick Illingsworth? Putting yourself up as the voice of the fans and speaking for everyone?!!

Have you been looking Francis? I think you might have been. It's quite clear mong boards seriously damage your health given tonight's keyboard thumping rants. You should pm verbal, he can recommend a good therapist.

Weren't we told a few months back that man for man this side is better than the team that finished 8th in 2003?
