thplinth Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It is not only mostly a WWI & II thing for me but also IMO a conscription thing. People called up with little choice, horribly maimed and sent home to see it out. I actually think of these people quite a bit, what it would be like etc. I wonder what they would say seeing all of this pathetic poppy point scoring now. For professional soldiers in the modern age I am not sure this appeal really applies anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 We asked FIFA if we could wear poppies, they said no, we did it anyway. Not really a surprise.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no need to wear poppies on the shirt or armband as many have said, including myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Saint Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 FIFA has the rules it does for very sensible reasons. The English FA should have respected those rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in5omniac Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Further investigations into the pre-match Armistice bits too. Poppies on the big screens and advertising boards, giving out poppy t-shirts, the silence and the last post to name a few. Surely that'd all be on the English FA though.

A guy at my work is in the TA and was telling me he had to turn down the chance to go skiing for 3 months at the Army's expense as he couldn't get the time off. I am sure a lot of people join up with stuff like that in mind, with poppies used as a recruitment tool, and it is completely different to the conscription of WW1 and WW2.
