West Ham Poppy Scandal

Post Massive Attack »

Fuck me WOW...




Great timing we are staying a protest march tomorrow then. Our once great Club that used to represent so much good is now captured.

Kieran Fox is a Gooner by the way.

Fucking Club is rotten from top to bottom. 💩

LEST WE FORGET

He wasn't the only one. Other less known players like Landers and Briggs also weren't wearing one.
And that's their prerogative fella.
As said, I don't agree with their choice, but this doesn't neccesarily make it the clubs fault.

It absolutely is the Clubs fault for pandering to 1 thing yet devalue the whole point of players representing our Club paying respects to those that lost their lives so we can all enjoy ours. It's not asking for much. It should have been left as compulsory if you want to represent this Football Club with strong links to the Blitz or indeed this lot...

Hope I'm right. Although the jizz-midget is probably targetting the ethnic shekel now, as it's obvious now is all lost for the indigenous population of our country, irrespective of this 'story'.
 

Marshall isn't wearing one tonight..

They wore poppies on their shirts Vs Leeds and the U21 currently have poppies on their shirts Vs Liverpool.

Calling BS on this one.

After all, that's why our forefathers paid the ultimate sacrifice, to enable the generations that followed them to HAVE this choice.
I for one will always wear a poppy/pin purchased from the RBLI website annually.
To each their own, I suppose.

Yet players are guilty tripped in to taking the knee whenever the powers that be click their fingers.

I agree, but the majority of supporters would want to see our club support the RBL, honour the war heroes and the armed forces.

Poppies

Dead people

No minutes silence except for ex players
Charities
National anthems

In fact it should only be about football, the end

My relatives died aged 19 and 21 at the river kwai, if you want to pay respects go to the cenotaph, but you'd be better off having a pint,  going to the hammers and forget about all the bad stuff in the world.
 
 
I think the poppy appeal transcends the rest.  We're here, right here right now, because of ALL those who have fought in wars, whether win or lose.  And a lot of those who had died would have been pointless.

The army were also pretty instrumental early in the game of football (the Royal Engineers won the FA Cup after losing 3 finals including the first ever one) and helped spread the game around the world.

So yeah, I think they deserve a bit of respect in football.

The remembrance period is extremely significant, so it’s the one thing we should take time to reflect on, because without the sacrifices of brave men who laid their lives down, sitting here pissing and moaning as we do about the club might not have been a luxury we’d have been afforded.

Looking at the U21 game currently underway, it appears some are proudly sporting them but others are not wearing one. All Officials are wearing one. Can't see any of the Scousers wearing one either (shock).

Logic tells me this is total fiction drummed up to stir the pot ahead of tomorrows march.

I'm sure our players will have poppies on shirts and we will have the usual last post and wreaths etc as we have every other year 

The club needs to address this asap though

The club’s selling the 2025 Poppy with all proceeds going to the RBL so I’m hoping this is bollocks.

I want to give the benefit of doubt to the club here.  Surely they're not THAT thick to think this was ever a good thing to do and it's made up bollocks.
 
It's like watching an episode of Colombo and thinking the person at the end isn't the same one who caved somebody's skull in with a glass ashtray in the first 5 minutes 😂
🤣 Brilliant.  But exactly how I feel.
