Fair enough money goes to charity but given the cause something that was a little more tasteful and inclusive might have been in order.

My father-in-law was a Brylcreem Boy in WWII but even he would have said that the men and women of every service did and continue to do their bit and that they deserve some proper acknowledgement.

You want a Hitler one made as well? Include all axis powers? Ffs

Or a rainbow, swastika, Churchill hybrid perfect mate, made my night this

Am I ok to criticise this? Limited edition poppy pin badges

Disgusting that pin mate... Next poppy lady I see in a supermarket is getting decked. That pin is not inclusive enough

Never come off a bike badly.

Pools have done this for years, so it has absolutely nowt to do with the kit supplier. The current supplier I may add, are producing some decent wear since they got the contract last season

Ah ok fair enough, didn't realise. Yes, O'Neill's in terms of a kit manufacturer are very good.

Random enough fact they still hold the rights for 3 stripes in Ireland after a battle with Adidas. Most GAA tops have these 3 stripes on them but if you order the same jersey outside of Ireland it will only have 2 stripes on it.
