It shouldn’t be a big deal, should be personal choice 

Nemaja Matic never wore one either! Didn’t ever get any abuse.

Any Irish person having a go at someone for choosing not wear a poppy needs their f**king head examined.
To be fair I think if you asked the average British person why Matic didn't want to wear a poppy, they wouldn't have a clue. 

Matic also took the approach of citing his recognition, respect, and sympathy for the poppy, while also saying 'not for me.' I also agree that the conflict in Kosovo is not properly remembered (or remembered at all) by a lot of people. Hence, it has gone under the radar in many ways. It can be forgotten that the conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo were the 1990s version of what is happening in Ukraine today. As a result, Matic is unlikely to be probed further.

But as I've always said, the bulk of the people who will criticise McClean or Phillips will tend to complain about politics and football being intertwined (BLM, rainbow laces etc), the 'woke agenda', and complain that free speech no longer applies, and yet will make an exception for this particular issue, even though it has undoubtedly been hijacked for political ends.

Show me where I called anyone sex tourists or alcoholics? I think you might be displaying a few "Old Man" cognitive impairment symptoms.

He's not daft, he'll know what backlash is on the way. British soldiers fought and died for freedom in WW1 and WW2, should include the freedom to not partake in such activities as well

Always love this one....fighting for freedom while the colonial masters were literally incarcerating half the planet at the same timeLOL

It wasn't good Vs evil, it was evil Vs less (and purely self preserving) evil.

The f*ck does him living in England have to do with it?

Mad line of reasoning - do you have to kick a Uyghur if you visit China? Racially abuse a black person if you're in Nashville? It's all about respecting your hosts, right?

He works and pays his taxes in the UK he helps pay the wages and helps  fund the British army ffs, if he really gave a bollox he wouldn't have moved to England to work for a living.


Such a sh*te argument, if anything it should give him more of a say! LOL

These lads incur abuse because irish media/twitter pick up on it and call them legends and celebrate them for it. If nobody highlighted nobody would care but when it's being highlighted in the manner some people do so it antagonises people. 

It's his own personal choice, and I'm quite certain he didn't do it for people to celebrate him or call him a legend. He did it to satisfy his own personal beliefs and nothing more.
