Leon’s missing poppy?

[Dane Redhouse]

May be a sensible explanation for this and I’m not digging him out before anyone suggests but why did Leon not have a poppy on his shirt against hull? I’ve just had a look again at the pictures of the goals and he celebrates with Duffy (poppy on shirt) but none for our Leon. Did he change shirt or anything at half time? Can’t seem to find pics of the shirt he had on before the goals?

 

[s4-blade]

Yes. That’s that then.

 

[Dane Redhouse]

This is the pic I was referencing to with Duffy..

 

[ucandomagic]

Yes. That’s that then.

Somebody posted a first half picture with a poppy on Saturday.

 

[Dane Redhouse]

Ah happy days, I just thought it could have been blood on a shirt or a ripped shirt or something, and that’s why it was changed. Like I said it was an honest question not a dig.. innocent until proven guilty and all that.

 

[Tyler Durden]

His shirt was changed at half time.

Hopefully the Poppy Taliban will spare his life.

 

[Bladepicker]

innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Even if he had a poppyless shirt on on the first half he would have been innocent.

Not wearing a poppy isn't a crime you see.

 

[Pedro's Winger]

If people gave their lives to maintain our free and democratic way of life it doesn't matter who chooses to wear a poppy or not.

Indeed. Personal choice. Just like Brendan Rogers. When Reading manager he wore a poppy, when Liverpool manager he wore a poppy, when Celtic manager he chose not to wear a poppy. Like I say personal choice. He’s not being influenced by his employer or anything...

The whole Hull team must have changed their shirts.

They had to quickly change their shorts after that 2nd half...

Innocent? Weirdo

Just to to put it to bed....

 

[Highbury_Blade]

I wonder if the OP was wearing a poppy?

Is that a choice? Strange how none of the Celtic players or staff "chose" to wear a poppy, no?

Championship footballer in doesn't wear non-compulsory poppy on day that isn't the day that they're usually worn on anyway if one chooses to wear one at all which is your choice shocker.

 

[Dane Redhouse]

Bloody hell blades calm down, I only asked a question about weather he was wearing one or not. I found it strange that the rest of the lads had them on in the pics but he didn’t. I haven’t criticised him for not having it on nor have I said he should have it on. Some of the replies you get on here for asking a question can put you off posting your input and questions to fellow blades off for life. Thought we were all blades??

You know what I mean though mate... hope none of the younger generation of blades start to post on this forum, they will be deterred for life after a couple of the replies!

 

[Tyler Durden]

I prefer 'Unitedite' to 'Blade' really.

 

[Hartley Hare]

Don't be mean and contrary to Dane.

To stop Meyler getting upset no doubt based on his previous

Fleck and Coutts didn't have poppies on their shirts either in at least one half

Perhaps we only had 8 shirts with poppies on and had to share them.

I'm writing this wearing a poppy wristband its from last year, but dropped a few quid into the British Legion pot before i left the UK.

I noted a number of players neglected to wear 'children in need' lapel pins the other week. Was it just oversight or a deliberate error?

Don't get upset about it, you were honest and so were the responses. You might need to get thicker skin on here pal.
For the record it WOULD have bothered me if he didnt wear a poppy, or I would have been eager to know why he chose not to at least.

 

[cooperblade]

It's a slight shame for the charity auction of the shirts (believe this is happening?) as the shirt that Leon scored 4 in would've fetched a good price.

 

[vorpal blade]

Leon wears a bigger shirt than the rest of the players, the kitman probably did have spare or two with the poppies on them but didn't make a special XL spare for Clarke.

This is deplorable, unpatriotic, the last straw etc.etc. blah, blah
