Carlisle and Jamie Devitt have clarified why the Irish midfielder was not able to wear a poppy armband during Saturday's League Two match against Newport - because it would not stay on his "twig arms".

Both the club and Devitt took to Twitter following questions over why the 28-year-old did not sport the armband in the game at Brunton Park, which the home side won 3-2.
