Just read that corrupt FIFA have denied England and Scotlands request to wear poppys on their shirts and also any armbands as it,s considered a political symbol. Any thoughts fellas?

[Ever Ready]

Stuff them all I say and wear your poppy with pride

[ronnyd]

It is not a political symbol but a remembrance symbol for those hero's that lost their lives defending this country.

I've signed the petition at change.org, you can help the fight by doing the same.

If I were one of the players I would just wear one anyway, what the Fick have Fifa to do with such things.

makes my blood boil this kind of thing, this is not a matter for discussion by football clerks, just wear a poppy and to hell with them.

Sign that petition in Rods2 post above.

Not just this country Rod 
Yes, it tends to be a British thing but the respect applies to ALL combatants from All conflicts no mater which side of the fence you are on 

Petition signed 

[tigers_gonads]

Oh, its FIFA were talking about .................
Best deliver the petition in a brown envelope then 

[neil74]

I've got one on my car.

I'm not signing any petition because we shouldn't need a petition. The football association should make FIFA realise that our war heroes are far more important that any game of football and should be willing to pull out of the competition if necessary. On an individual level, the footballers should make it perfectly clear that they will not travel if they cannot show their respect for our war dead.
F***ing dirty little, money grubbing, self-important pieces of shite!

With you there Steve   
Lets see if the wimps at the FA have got the balls to defy these jumped up weasels

[amazonian]

Well, at least the FA seems to have seen sense as they are going to 'defy' fifa.

My bloods still boiling though, after seeing who was responsible for fifas decision in the first place.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!

 

[ozzycat]

bugger them wear one anyway

[tigers_gonads]

Made me laugh when May laced into FIFA in the house of commons yesterday
Something along the lines of "you cant even get your own house in order so piss off"

Good top see a prime minister standing up for us for a change instead of kissing arse 

[Lagondanet]

bugger them wear one anyway

Agreed.
