This weekend thousands of people showed their respect for the brave men and women who gave their lives so that we can now be free.
Up and down the country people stood in silence at cenotaph’s, heads bowed in remembrance of the dead.
Premier football teams wore specially designed shirts displaying the poppy, these shirts are to be auctioned off for the poppy appeal, but yet there was one man, James McClean who refused to wear one.
The Londonderry born Republic of Ireland player asked if he could wear a normal shirt as he does not support the poppy appeal.
If this man has chosen to show so much disrespect to the people of this country, we need to ask the question why has he chosen to live here?
Is it because of the thousand of pounds he receives every week in wages?
In my opinion this man is no different to the Muslim fanatics that burnt the poppy two years ago and should be treated with the same contempt as those vile creatures have been.
Let’s hope every football fan in the country shows this bitter little man just what they think of him every time he takes to the field.
