Penistone999 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 How pathetic that FIFA say that national teams cannot wear the poppy on their shirts as they class it as a political symbol. They want to think, if it wasn't for all the people that gave their lives for world peace there might never have been a corrupt organisation called FIFA. Probably because no one has slipped them a brown envelope stuffed with cash . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WageSlave Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 This story isn't something exactly new is it, doesn't it always pops up when England are involved in matches at this time of year. I remember a big hoo-ha a few years ago when England played Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I think you've got a point. But if we're going down that road, is a flag not a political symbol? How many parties, across the globe use the flag as a political symbol? Very good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan2802 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Why dont the FA tell FIFA to FO ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm06 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 So could they wear black armbands ? for example. I think with all the burning and stuff we've seen over the recent years and constant (real or not) accusations about people wanting to ban the poppy this that and the other, FIFA are probably just trying to keep it easy going. Although England and Scotland will both want to have them and show, so who really gives a balls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WasThatWise Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 We should have referendum on whether we want to leave FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukdobby Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 We should have referendum on whether we want to leave FIFA. Will it give us our borders back and stop all the foreigners coming into this country to play football for our teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 the players who want to should wear these no matter what!! what are FIFA going to do call the game off and p off the tv companies?? think not Playing football should not involve wearing anything other than the approved kit.
