BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 the only teams in the spl this weekend not to wear poppys on their shirts to show their respect to the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice with their lives ,and also those that are still suffering ? It's not a case of tit for tat or one upmanship , It's just that I only noticed it earlier ,and also that they dont play again till the 19th Nov which is after Rememberence Day Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madina 4,253 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 All the Premiership teams wore it as well (all the teams I saw on MOTD had them on anyway). I would have expected it from the tims but poor show from Motherwell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben10 2,309 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Celtic have worn poppy shirts in the past have they not ? If the reason for not wearing them today is sinister then, well what a sad club it really is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Celtic make £10,000 donation to Poppy ScotlandBy: Newsroom Staff on 24 Oct, 2011 12:32CELTIC Charity Fund, the charitable arm of Celtic Football Club today presented a donation of £10,000 to the work of Poppy Scotland.The Club's donation will be used to support ex-Servicemen and women across Scotland in a variety of ways, including treatment and rehabilitation for those injured while serving.As we look ahead to Remembrance Sunday, Poppy Scotland will this week launch the 2011 Scottish Poppy Appeal. Celtic is pleased to kick-off this fundraising activity with this substantial donation. Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: "As we approach Remembrance Sunday next month, we remember the victims on all sides of all conflicts. Many people from all walks of life have entered the Services, and indeed, we all remember the contribution which so many Celtic players made during both World Wars. "We are pleased to make this donation which will hopefully assist many people in Scotland dealing with devastating injuries."We understand fully the tragedy of conflict and the wider effects which this brings, which is why we are also pleased to support War Child, the global charity which cares for the child victims of war in places such as Afghanistan, Iraq and across Africa." Ian McGregor, Chief Executive of Poppy Scotland said: "We are extremely grateful to Celtic Football Club for their continued support of the Scottish Poppy Appeal. This generous donation will enable us to continue to deliver our life-changing work for Scotland's Armed Forces community."As well as continuing to fund therapy, housing and retraining for veterans, we are also hoping to introduce short breaks for the families of Service personnel who are away on active duty."As we indicated last year we feel that after three very successful years of the poppy shirt initiative with the SPL, we wanted to work with each club individually to develop a range of new activities. Today is just one example of how the clubs are getting behind the Appeal this year and we look forward to building further on the excellent relationship we have with Celtic, and the other 11 clubs, in the coming weeks."What happenened liewell , if your supposed to be part of the Poppy Shirt Initiative ?

Aye, that's it, Lawwell, only give them money so long as you can big up your club too.Can't imagine the Jake Brigade will be happy about this.

norniron1992 61 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Every club in the UK should be made to have a poppy on their shirts , Out of RespectNo they shouldn't.I hate this attitude that everyone should be forced to wear a poppy, when the poppy represent's those who fought for freedom and democracy, the two things which allows people to decide what they want to wear and what they don't want to wear. Whilst I fully support the poppy appeal and fully believe that people should wear them, not one person should be forced into wearing it though.

Edmiston Drive 3,846 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Surely it would have been Motherwell's decision to wear the poppy strip? As Falkirk proved when those rhats asked cpl years ago for the mins silence to be an applause and Falkirk refused.Home clubs discretion.
