I think Fifa should ban players from wearing a cross.

[Jonty]

The world is all going to shit and Cameron is spouting about england being allowed to wear poppies on their shirt. What a load of pisch.

 

If the FA were that worried bout it they wudne play a friendly during remembrance weekend. Cunts.

[RUL]

Fair compromise, everyones happy

The banning by some institutions of wearing poppies pretty much sums up how fucked up our society is. The pc brigade are so scared of offending people they end up offending everyone bar those they claim to be protecting from faux offence. In fact its now went as far that those these daft ideas are thought up to protect are offended by the fact they are used as an excuse for some pillock in a suit or some inbred daily record journalist that writes shite to be regurgitated by the inbred masses as a vessel for their own narrow mindedness and stupidity. I know no real Irish person that feels wearing a poppy is offensive, I know no Buddhist or Jew that feels there is no place for a nativity play at school and I know no Muslim that would use the fact an airline allows its staff to wear crosses as a reason to kick off on a plane.

 

Lets face it only the most inbred of monkeys cant see that demanding something is banned because they find it offensive is just as offensive as their request to ban something people wear as part of their religious beliefs or to mark an occasion. Do these morons actually believe a Muslim, Jew, atheist are offended by Christmas or nativity plays? Do they honestly think that poppies are in some way a symbol of British colonial repression? Do they really feel wearing a cross on a plane would attract suicide bombers to their airline...

 

The worst part of it all though is if you stand up for yourself as a white middle class male you are branded racist, xenophobic, sexist or some other label which in itself is derogatory and offensive.

 

Fuck them all I say... wear your poppy, hold a p3 nativity, celebrate your turban, deny Christ was the son of God and if that doesnt work we can always hire a few Muslims to blow something up

[tup]

Wonder how many guff players who care so much about the war effort will be at services on Remembrance Sunday laying wreaths in earnest?

 

My guess is none.

I know what ure saying bout the PC Brigade but Poppies are for remembrance Sunday, fuck all to do with football.

 

How many times did the England teams of the 1940's or 50's, teams that prob contained people who had fought in the second world war, wear fuckin poppies on their shirt?

 

Absolute load of pisch.

[Aberdeen_Fan]

The last sentence tells more than a thousand words.

 

This is about Blatter, not war dead or honour or anything else.

 

It could not be less honourable on the part of the English, sour grapes by the bucketload.

 

Good enough for the cunts.

 

 

Well said. Fifa is soo corrupt its unreal. The federation that are running the largest sport in the world treat it like it is some sort of game!!!!

 

BROON FOR FIFA PRESIDENT

agree entirely.

[Henry]

So, a victory for the rabble rousing right wing media. Cunts.

 

Of course, poppies on the shirts are the only way to 'remember our war dead'.

 

Last link, promise - from yesterday's Fiver.

 

Anyone lucky enough to have been tripping on acid for the past 48 hours may be unaware that the mother of all stinks has been kicked up over a Fifa rule that forbids England's players from wearing poppies on their shirts during the match against Spain on the grounds that it is a political symbol that could jeopardise "the neutrality of football". Despite having been in place for a long time, it is a rule that singularly failed to perturb the FA in nine previous Novembers of yore; Novembers, coincidentally, when English football's governing body didn't feel the need to generate spurious controversies because of sour grapes over failed World Cup bids, or deflect media attention away from a national team captain who'd become embroiled in an embarrassing race row.

 

In order to confirm that the wearing of poppies could never be construed as a political act, Great Britain's prime minister, David Cameron, who is a politician, got involved this morning, going so far as to condemn the ban as "outrageous", but not so far as to declare it a great excuse for him to avoid tricky questions about an embarrassing controversy involving his home secretary telling fibs about her role in a scandal undermining national security.

[Crossbow]

It is traditional right wing populist frenzy. The presumption that in order to care we need at all times to bear our chest (metaphorically) and that it is a matter of national pride that the team plays with a poppy (sic) - it is a game - if they are that into remembering the fallen that they feel they must wear a poppy in case people don't think they care they should cancel the match because how much more egregious (always wanted to use that word - hope i used it correctly) is it to play a game when you should be honouring the dead.

Today is the first Armistice Day without a surviving veteran from the Great War.

[tightbreeks]

sky sports worked itself into a frenzy over the england team wearing a poppy. they were try to be magnanimous, but it was really

 

2 world wars 1 world cup, 2 world wars 1 world cup, gertcha.

[Bluto10]

[vanderark14]

minute of silence at my work this morning - respects paid

 

no need to over board as the FA are doing tomorrow.

Especially if you're a fisherman or work offshore.

[Henry]

 

I've stabbed everyone in my office who wasn't wearing a poppy today.

[phoenix]

I do like to remember those who sacrificed their ( mostly ) young lives , it's the sign of a civilised society.

 

Mebbe we could do more to avoid further conflict rather than create even more war dead and produce weapons of sophistication and mass destruction. I think this is why some call us hypocritical.

 

Stop the War !

Spamspam,

 

It is for those very reasons that I support Tommy Robinson and the EDL, without his ilk the indigenous amongst us will be further marginalised, it's time to say enough is enough. True to form the lefties have already branded them racist but that's the only way they have of dealing with people who they know have some very valid points. You don't see the UAF people ever protesting against Choudery and his poppy burning mates, wonder why!

 

btw When the UAF try to stop the EDL marching I'd say that was fascism, you can only march if you agree with us!
