2. Good man James 🇮🇪

3. How long before the twitterazzi call him a terrorist?

4. Fair play

5. Croppies don’t wear poppies!

6. He’s a good lad our James

7. He likes attention. None of this is genuine.

8. Absolutely nuts the way they keep bringing him up every time he doesn’t wear a poppy like he’s hitler or a fella who hates war hero’s.

   Nemanja Matic doesn’t wear a poppy for his own reasons and nothing said

9. Wow. That was fifty years ago…tempus fugit.

10. Hon the muckers! Fair play james.

11. Man of principle.

    Standing his ground while the bitter, racist loons froth at the mouth at the audacity of ‘Paddy’ daring to speak out!

12. There will be a statue made in this guys honour. And it shouldn’t be put out of the way on the bogside. It should straddle both sides of the liffey. All ships arriving on dublin should see this great man, facing out to sea. Chin up and standing tall. THIS IS US.

13. Fair play to the Wigan Board for allowing him express himself, their Chairman seems a pretty decent lad. Im sure if he is fined for making a “Political Gesture” which is against the rules the club will pay it. Wigan are also actively pressing charges against clubs fans who are directing sectarian abuse towards him too, every other club hes been at has done fuck all in that regard.
