Got about 3 tweets in and had enough. Of course I could be wrong and the poppy should be hijacked as being a badge of honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 A few coins for a poppy, a few minutes of thought once a year for men and women who gave their lives doing their duty seems a small price to pay for their sacrifice,some as young as sixteen who never were able to enjoy the gifts of life, marriage, children, career etc. Things most of us take for granted, and our right.

Sooperstar Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Some have missed the point. You can be sure there will be a fan tomorrow with a massive poppy on their back with 'Lest We Forget' in place of a player's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Grappelli Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Great to see the Cookie Monster doing proper remembrance. I also find it farcical, but funny, when club mascots join in the minute's silence. All the players in the centre circle, heads bowed respectfully, next to a giant green dinosaur or a bug eyed, 8 foot tall squirrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) I get some don’t want to wear one, but this is out of order from a Celtic fan who apparently works for Apple and is a St Mirren Academy player.

Or his reply. Nothing more worthy of sympathy than the silliness of youth. So often in a desire to seem tough and smart they destroy their own image by use of their tongue or a pen or tweet. The positive thing is the young man can think this way because of the efforts of those who gave their lives to allow him his freedoms. He won't have to do it because when the threat does come it will be a silent missile delivered by air, and will destroy in a blink his whole society.

Cherry is a character and has never really had control of his mouth. In fairness his support of the veterans is commendable, but what he said was so wrong. He started by saying that walking in downtown Toronto he never even saw a poppy, he then done his bit about people coming to the land of milkand honey and can't even put a couple of dollars in the can for a poppy. Even where I live walking around the Malls there is a very obvious lack of poppy wearers, but it is not a requirement.Frankly he will be no great miss, like his poppy statements his antiquarian ideas about hockey have also had their day.
