WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Why are national anthems being played at a B-rate preseason friendly, though? Seems a bit of excessive pomp. Anyway, he's being a c***. I personally don't give a damn about national anthems, but some people do - including a lot of the fans he's representing while wearing that shirt. Just look at the grass until it's over. 'Murica. They love playing the national anthem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Won't wear a poppy which is to commemorate all those who have lost their lives in all wars not just British, turns his back on the British national anthem. Lives in Britain getting paid millions playing for British clubs. It's his choice whether or not to wear a poppy. Your post is strikingly similar to a Britain First style "IT'S A DISGRACE, LIKE AND SHARE IF YOU AGREE" Facebook thing that all the pikeys drool over.

Disco Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Why have West Brom bought him ffs? They have no wingers and he hardly cost anything. Decent enough deal for them. Bit of a lie actually, they do have wingers, just none (apart from McManaman) who can actually beat a man. He'll never play. Pulis was dishing up 5 defensive midfielders infront of 4 centre backs that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 But why is turning and looking at the ground a valid decision, but not turning isn't? You seem to be admitting he's allowed to show his disapproval. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think McClean is a horrid little cunt FYI, but he can do what he wants. Nobody should feel they "have to" do anything, as long as it's not unlawful by not complying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Bet he isn't complaining when he gets paid in pounds that have the Queen's face on. It's an insult to all our brave hero soldiers that have died to ensure his freedom. He should be made to go and apologise to them all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Playing the national anthem for a club team is going to lead to these issues. He's not representing Great Britain, he's representing West Brom. He obviously has particularly strong objections, can't really hold that against him.

What I meant was, if someone has a moral objection then they have to do something about it. I can't object to that. As far as I'm aware you don't need to swear allegiance to the Queen to work in England, so I'm not sure where the hypocrisy could be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What Triggs said like, attention seeking bellend. Was it right he stood in a game against England and didn't do anything then, if so why now ffs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think it's more about not wanting to represent the UK, it wouldn't matter if he was playing against England. I don't see why everyone objects so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
