Top finish for the last goal, though the "assist" was pretty terrible...just a typical "boot it long into space" tactic.
What's most shocking is the number of goals the green/white team scored from low crosses across the penalty box. I think it was 4 or 5 out of their 6. You'd think the defenders would figure it out

Yeah, it reminded me of Torres against Blackburn last year.

If you don't want to wear one, don't wear one but not this bollocks.
I'm all for people turning down MBE's etc too but not those who like to tell you that they turned one down.

I don't wear a poppy, but more for the British nationalistic connotations i.e. "every decent patriotic Brit should wear one" – as in I'd give them the money, none of this white poppy/white feather bullshit, but wouldn't want to parade the "credentials"...

Is that what it is? I thought it was to symbolise the remembrance of those who have fought and died for the freedoms the rest of us now enjoy.
We live in a cynical world folks when wearing a poppy is deemed nationalistic.
I have nothing against people NOT wearing one, but I do have something against the suggestion of it being nationalistic - when we all know that term and it's connotations are almost exclusively negative.
Wearing a poppy to supporting the BNP and advocating the deaths of innocent muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan - it's only one step away innit. Rolly eyes

I knew you were going to stick your oar in
We all know the kind of twat who parades around in one from the earliest possible date as a sign of what kind of upstanding chap they want to represent. I expressed myself badly, "nationalism" as such not the point.

You know I'm a sucker for your sweet talking Allez (By the way, as long as you post your opinions on here, you should expect that not everyone will agree. So you can have my oar to poke the ladies with)
I'd like to think you're not this cynical in real life and just using this board to vent. Perhaps you're right and there are a small percentage of twats parading around in poppies as some kind of badge of honour, but I'd suggest the majority wear them because they care simply about honouring those who died. Like the older generation you find selling and wearing them, my own personal experience is having watched and listened to my own grandad regaling tales of fighting in the second world war - not with pride, not with arrogance, not with nationalism, but simply with sadness of seeing many of his friends die. So, for a generation of cynically charged lefties to sniff at the thought of wearing a poppy as though it's below them - I resoundly disagree with the suggestion it's inextricably linked to misplaced national tub thumping.
If you've expressed yourself badly as you say - then my apologies. Although seeing as you speak better English than most of us, on top of however many other languages, you'll forgive me for pulling you up on using the term "nationalistic". Tchuss!

Yeah well just as I have to be prepared for people to disagree with me more often than not on a predominantly English (and not particularly Arsenal-friendly) board, I don't pull them up on everything I take issue with – I think, without trying to offend, that you struggle to see past the obvious at times. It's just a personal choice for me. Remember that I was ridiculing the laughable and to my mind disgusting Celtic fans, dammit!
And I am most certainly not a leftie, used to be, was in the US on 9/11 and, well, that died a death...
Neiher a leftie nor a cynic, 'fraid you've missed the point and got the wrong end of the stick here.

I'm not sure how I've missed the point here; reading your post you clearly imply that you view the act of wearing a poppy (a symbol supporting a charity designed to help those families and servicemen left ruined by war) amongst some as parading it a badge of honour for nationalistic support. I merely take umbrage (great word) to that as being a reason not to wear one, given comparing the support of a charity iwith hoisting a St George's cross in your garden and supporting the BNP is somewhat perverse (another great word).
I agree that unnecessary to pull up those up on everything you have an issue with. To be fair, I regularly enjoy reading your posts and it's quite rare I disagree with you on footballing matters, and even then we're all capable of sensing the difference between light hearted banter and serious opinion so rarely stick my oar in in disagreement. That I challenged you on this one is because I'm surprised someone as intellectually savvy as you would resort to such clear misguided generalisation and imply the existence of negative connotations (g'word) with poppy wearing enough to put you off showing support.
Anyhow, I'll remove my oar. Did you like the long words I've used above? Intellectial heavyweight champion of the World

There ARE negative connotations, try to see past the bleedin' obvious, just look at the way all the red-tops, Mail etc and right-wing papers parade the fucker on their mastheads!! Nothing to do with the BNP or even St George!!
It's like the "Support Our Troops!!" stickers in America, I wouldn't display one because I'd look a bit of a twat, even though politically it's a sentiment I heartily agree with. (I am not saying that poppy-wearing is twattish at all, certainly not necessarily, but merely trying to explain my personal choice...)

And some people would actually accept these scotch wannabe Irish fucko's into the premiership. When they leave their political/religious horseshit outside of the stadium and enter the 21st century then maybe we can talk............ and then turn them down.

More insanity in the wacky world of Scottish football
Scottish FA investigates Hugh Dallas email allegation
Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan has investigated allegations concerning the email account of head of referee development Hugh Dallas.
BBC Scotland has viewed a picture contained within an email forwarded from Dallas's account on the day of the Pope's visit to Scotland.
It shows a school crossing sign with a silhouette of an adult holding a child's hand and the word "Caution".
Beneath the sign, added text makes reference to the Pope's visit.
The SFA chief executive said: "I can confirm I have looked into the circulation of the email reported in the media at the weekend.
"Let me state categorically that I do not condone the transmission of any email content that might cause offence to anyone.
"I have spoken with staff and the matter will now be dealt with internally, in line with the Scottish FA's Information Systems Acceptable Use Policy."

Seriously - the Mail? A few "right wing" newspapers? There's a poppy on the front of the Evening Standard too by the way. What to make of that?
Look, don't want to bang on about this subject, but - no offence intended - I'm just glad not everyone has the same attitude as you, otherwise we may as well just give the symbol of the poppy to the BNP and be done with it since no one else would wear it out of fear of association.
You keep insinuating I'm missing the point, but it's actually quite a simple thought process: those choosing not to wear a poppy because they don't want to be associated with the "negative connotations" is no different from people who choose not to go and watch football because of the hooliganism/lager lout association.
Everyone is allowed their own opinion. But thankfully, there are enough people who a) care enough about their club or b) enjoy football enough to actively participate, without worrying what others think of them, so the end result is hooligans do not constitute a majority. For those who choose to wear a poppy, the thought process is the same: care enough to support injured war veterans and/or the memory of the dead, versus worrying if some nobby politically active student types find it coarse and overly nationalistic.
And comparing the American "support your troops" bumper stickers is also wide of the mark, given a) that isn't directly supporting a well established charity (as far as I'm aware) and b) the poppy appeal pre-dates recent hysteria inducing events such as 9/11 and Iraq/Afghanistan.
