eez-eh Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 When did Poppy Day become so synonymous with football? I can’t think of any other industry where there’s such uproar if every club/business doesn’t doesn’t try their best to out-remember one another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutankhamen Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 18 minutes ago, Jacksgranda said: All the more reason for them to commemorate Remembrance Day, then. I remember the late, great Gerry Anderson, apropos absolutely nothing as was his wont, informing listeners that his uncle in Donegal had been a prisoner of war of the Japanese. There were a lot of men (and women) from the Free State who fought for the Allies in the Second World War. And were treated appallingly on their return, but that's another story. Best not mention James Joseph McGennis VC from Belfast. The Belfast Regime treated SOME VC winners with champaign and chocolates. Except JJ McGennis for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly seems to have got completely out of hand these last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Why would you think that? Because many sensible people are so hacked off by the circus, well documented on this thread, that they stop participating. I'd hesitate to call myself sensible but I stopped wearing a poppy years ago...Or more sensibly Because last year was the centenary of 1918 so one would have expected a lot more fuss than the previous or following year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Guy infront of me in Sainsbury's the other day asked the cashier why she didn't have a Poppy on. Had no idea mentalists like that actually roamed the wild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
