Ormond Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) The minute that entities such as the UK Government, Rangers Football Club, Britain First, etc turned it into a disgusting celebration rather than a remembrance of dead it was always fvcked. The whole circus would have World War heroes turning in their graves. Edited November 1, 2016 by Ormond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 The annual 'debate' over this issue has grown almost as tiresome as the charade itself. If you want to wear a poppy wear one, if you don't then don't. Just shut the f*** up about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodguy Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Can't wait for the outrage when GSTQ gets its usual reception. They'll spin that as disrespecting armistice day as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jailender Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Well, it now appears that FIFA have said no poppies on shirts, so we can close the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Its fine we've got a petition as well now. That'll get it sorted https://www.change.org/p/fifa-let-england-and-scotland-footballers-wear-their-poppies-with-pride Quote The poppy is not a political statement at all. It could not be further from a political statement. It is a statement of remembrance and an acknowledgement of sacrifice from the First World War right through to the sacrifices of our young men and women today.

For once FIFA make a good decision. Unfortunately the permarage from some predictable quarters will start in five, four, three, two .......

This is a three act play and its only the end of act one. Act two will be the UK media going absolutely mental about it. Act three will be FIFA caving in under the pressure.

DoonTheSlope Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I've got to laugh at some of the hypocrites on here and on Facebook who say that FIFA have made the correct decision and that politics has no place in football(whether it's classed as politics is another argument entirely). These are the same folk who were waving YES paraphanalia in the Westfalen(sp?), Craven Cottage and other game leading up to the the referendum and have been talking about "sticking Brexit up yer arse" etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Have we ever worn poppies on our shirt before? Where we being disrespectful if we didn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
