Yep, saw it. The Wigan story is meant to be bollocks though, Coyle said it wasn't linked to the poppy. However he did do the same last year, played in a Sunderland shirt with no poppy on and got slaughtered for it.

Why would he wear it? He is Irish. If McClean wears a poppy, chances are his family will receive abuse or come under attack. My granddad is actually from Belfast, I know what went on and I fully support his decision not to wear one. With him being from Norn Iron, he just can't win. He is going to upset somebody whatever he does.

The fucking poppy police

Forcing someone to wear something that symbolises freedom is fucking embarrassing.

I don't share his views but he has a right to hold them. Freedom of thought and choice is what they fought for.

Also, I don't really want someone wearing the poppy when they hold views like his.

And the poppy should not be on a football shirt btw.

EDIT - Also did Sergio Aguero wear one?
