The same FIFA that allows eastern bloc countries' supporters to racially abuse black and ethnic minority players and levies derisory fines on them and awards the World Cup to the biggest perpetrator of the lot, effectively showing no respect to these players. But when we wish to respect all those who lost their lives fighting for the freedom that we all take for granted this totally corrupt bunch of nonentities will make an example of us. Be sure the punishment will be far greater than any levied on the racists...

I am 100% with The ****witts on this as much as I dislike them and understand the British people
Poppies or any symbol are not correct on international football shirts
Domestic football of course but bad idea for nations imo
Stop it now as it would lead to real trouble
Nothing wrong with poppies but it has turned into a bloody industry now with custom versions etc. IMO people should be able to watch football and remember their fallen not have it rammed down their throats by routine

We have all sorts of iconology in the public domain keep it out of football

It is only being used because football is marketed more than religion which is responsible for starting it all

We are approaching a time where idiots worship a overweight white old sod who wears red because marketeers invented it that way never mind the ****ing Elfs

Keep international football as it is
No poppies or symbols or before long you will have stupid bear with one eye plastered everywhere just to get international attention

The ban is better PR for the poppies anyway and the marketeers know this that's why it's now a story

Whatever a icon represents not on international shirts ever imo

While it's an unnecessary and OTT reaction from FIFA it's stupid of the FA and SFA to defy the rules. Would a minute's silence really not have been enough?

Why is there every a year a need for everyone to be seen wearing a poppy to the point you're a pariah if you don't. Endless public displays of commemoration devalue it IMO.

Personally I've still not got over the death of the Thai king anyway.

The point of the post was EXACTLY what many posters on here appear to be for - the right to remember in a way we see fit. Who are FIFA to tell us what to do? It is not a matter of how we remember it is a matter of FIFA telling us we can't.

What if he told you you had to wear one, would you feel differently then?

You are missing the point. The point is we should NOT be dictated to by FIFA. The answer to your question is that I would NOT allow my boss to tell me how to behave on a personal level.
