No the political gesture is idiot Premier league clubs like Everton putting the poppy on their shirts.

It’s not a political gesture though is it?

It’s simply showing respect to people who have served their country and died, in the country the club is from.

Would this carry on exist if he was nodding one in every weekend?

But they havent done just that, they've commited crimes and atrocities throughout the world for centuries

I understand what you are saying, but how far do you want to go back? The poppy was brought in to remember the fallen of the last two world wars and subsequent conflicts.

No one forces anyone to wear one, everyone is entitled to their own view and opinion, but those who do wear one shouldn’t be criticised for it either. It shouldn’t be seen as a political weapon.

fair enough but anyone criticising Tosun should bear that in mind when they stick their poppy on

You don't have to go that far back in time or that far away to see why people may be against wearing one. No one forces James McClean to wear it yet, everytime it's that's time of year again and he doesn't wear it, he gets abused by the media, fans and everyone else in between.

If people have a right to wear one then people should have a right not to wear one whatever their reasoning. Especially when the Government and Crown have allowed or told soldiers to commit war crimes and kill civilians. You only have to look up collusion in Ireland to see why McClean and other Irish people may be against wearing one.

Patriotism, Politics and Religion etc should be kept out of sport, if it is kept out then there's no issues. Just like Cenk should have kept his salute celebrations locked away.

We got the bagpipes out for Duncan after his incarceration for assault.

Oh look a stupid equivalence, defend his actions if you must but to do so making loose comparisons is a terrible argument

The poppy represents the fallen who fought for our freedom to be able to do everything we can do now. Bit different than turks invading syria

Which has got nothing to do with the poppy and never has had.

Blimey, you lot like to live dangerously, don't you?

Cenk Tosun is not quick enough or mobile enough for the Premier League. He'd be decent in Germany, like. See that? On topic Ladies and Gentlemen!

Like us then?

To stay on topic: Cenk once scored an amazing bicycle kick.



Salute that, bishes.
