Wrexham striker Paul Mullin stirs up controversy

Sadly, it is impossible to ‘keep politics out of football’: the two are too heavily entwined. Brexit/ taxes/ political corruption, have all affected football one way or another in recent years!

However, certain professions require the people within them to be unbiased/politically neutral (at times), and due to the fact that most football club’s fan bases span the broad political spectrum, footballers need to be neutral as they cross the white line.

Quoted from pontoonlew

I’d never personally vote Tory and I think the Tory party themselves have proven why that is in bucket loads.

However, as a supposedly democratic nation, it doesn’t sit well with me how people who also don’t vote Tory choose to demonise those that do. How somebody else votes is completely up to them and to abuse somebody for doing so makes you worse than them IMO.

I’d go so far as to say people doing that are what pushed people towards voting for them in the first place.

Mullin isnt doing that though is he. That’s his view. I like him for it.

Quoted from Civvy at last

No I don’t.
As a scouser I very much doubt he gives a sh1t about absolutely anything but himself.

Sweeping generalisation there. Well done.

What would Lia Nicki say, anyone seen her?

As someone who can’t be arsed to vote nowadays,but I do wish someone who knows more then I could explain how the Labour Party distributes the country’s wealth more evenly then the Tory’s. 40 odd years ago being on the steelworks we went on a 3 month strike for a pay award, flying pickets and all that, then Mrs Thatcher cam3 to power and over the next few years brought in various industrial rules regarding calling strikes, picketing etc. my question is how man of these laws did Tony Blair rescind during his 10 years of office.

But that is the point. You like him for it but a lot of Wrexham fans are angry with him either because they have different political views or more generally for the club making all the wrong headlines.

If the lino in their game tonight is a Tory and keeps flagging him offside he has only himself to blame!

Calling the leader of the Scottish Conservatives a "Tory illegitimate" while he was running the line didn't seem to do Montrose, who won 2-0, any harm on Saturday:

Quoted from blundellpork

I would happily remove all political elements from football- poppy on shirt, kneeling down, rainbow laces, political slogans. Sport should be about the sport.

Quite simply, people should be decent to one another, and if people aren’t decent, whether that’s racist, homophobic etc, then they should be dealt with robustly

Rainbow laces aren't a political statement more of an ethical one.

Catch on…..The point is…Mullin isn’t ‘demonising anyone who votes Tory’, as was claimed, and it’s silly to say he is.
He’s stitched his own view into his boots. That’s it. If some people don’t like it…tough. If they’re offended, they should get over it and stop being a snowflake whilst calling other people snowflakes. Poverty, Suella Braverman, disgusting government officials who lie and cheat and steal,  and inequality and corruption etc etc offend me. Where do I send my list? You have your view. I’ll have mine. Mullin can have his.  He isn’t commenting on them. He isn’t saying ‘f@ck the Tories’ and anyone who votes for them is a (insert insult here). If Wrexham stop him and fine him etc….that’s their call. The point is ….Mullin has expressed his view on a political party. He’s entitled to. He hasn’t ‘demonised’ any poor souls who don’t agree.

He is obviously entitled to his view, but as Wrexham FC pointed out he is not entitled to have it on his workwear.
