Media presence to capture their moment of remembrance and they can quietly have their moment. Any of the fans that want to do likewise can go to an appropriate ceremony anywhere in the country for 11am and wear the poppy for the day/evening/game/week - whatever they see fit and appropriate. All of the outrage on this is an absolute nonsense. If they could both do it together that would be the ultimate tribute for me. Football has become far too important in it's own eyes and this would be quite humbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spare the agony of the footballing reality perhaps....... That's far too easy. Knowing our luck it would be a points deduction and England would still qualify but we'd lose out because of it!

Jacques Hunt Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Do you think SFA will get it right and use the Scottish poppy? I suppose the 2 leafed one will be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Piece of nonsense. I hope they throw the book at us if we go ahead and defy the laws. Spineless idiots in charge of our game, pretending to be tough guys. Takes much more guts to say no to poppy-fascism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck SFA next time you try and fine Celtic, Rangers or anyone else. Can of worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
