The argument put forward by Sky Sports news, The house of commons and Prince Harry that poppies arent political is ridiculous. When England play Spain there will be armed forces all around the ground. This is not political ?
England had no problem til now with this reasonable rule that no politics, religion or any other type of agenda be brought into Sport. Its a fair rule.
In the eyes of the British they have done no wrong, and these soldiers fought for the freedom that they enjoy today. They did in my arse. Most of their fighting was attacking other nations and not defending themselves. Regardless of this argument , many Irish and British decent men died and deserve to be remembered. How many of the great British public will attend ceremonies, masses, visit graves this week,? (although its going on a month now). What we are about to see now is Poppies everywhere. In all the boozers, on all the t shirts, babies tatoos, songs on the terraces.
But the rule is there for a reason. NO POLITICAL JESTURES.
How many European countries have been at war with each other in very recent times. Tensions still remain high between various countries. The rule has been changed now for England. Does this mean Slovakia can have some' non political' symbol on their shirt. Something to remember their dead. Something that othet countries might get very irate about very quickly.
Or what about some Muslim fundamentalist countries ? Wonder what theyd like on their shirts ?
What bout a symbol for all those killed by Gadaffi ? These poor souls should be remembered ??
So anyway, Easter Lillies it is instead of 3 logo

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Not to you Athlone, just in general about this story. I think somehow both FIFA and the English FA/government have all come out of this looking ridiculously childish! What a pointless, silly and immature little argument, all just trying to prove they have muscle! ------------- If I keep writing enough hagiographic articles on Man Utd, they might give me a job |

Rule hasn't changed either, the poppy is on the black armband, not on the front of the jersey. Germany don't give a sh*t about it so don't see why we should. Plus, we're playing Estonia in a play off in the next six days, I couldn't give a fook what England are doing to be honest. Most of the news you get, especially sports, is British media so obviously they are going to go on about it. It's international week and apart from our game, there's not much happening so this poppy thing is an easy page filler or segment on the sports news. |

Thats great Landon but make up your own thread instead of putting in something totally unrelated and irrelevent. The point being debated is whether the poppy is infact political or not. Im firmly on the side that it is. And to argue otherwise is totally bending the rules to suit themselves on this one occasion. However it opens up the possibility of other countries doing the same, which is dangerous, unfortunately.
The poppy hs been on shirts for a few weekns and nobody cared. But the argument of it being non political is silly.

International football in itself is political, national flags are political and most obviously national anthems are political. Ive no opinion on the heroin flower thingy because im not a voyeur of all things British. If you want to have no politics in international football, then you might as well scrap the whole thing. ------------- Irish Times Fantasy 6 Nations League Name: YBIG League Password: YBIG |

In 1920 the poppy was introduced as a symbol to remember those who died in WW1. It was worn by people who wanted to wear it at rememberance events on Armistice Day. After WW2 rememberence Sunday became a day of rememberence for those who died in both wars and the poppy continued as the symbol. Now it is used as a rememberence of those who died in all wars. The money raised from poppy sales goes to the Royal British Legion and what was once a day of rememberence where those who wanted to wore poppies is now a 2-3 week sales campaign where people have a lot more pressure put on them to buy one than they used to. It used to be the people selling them were members of the legion, old retired service people, widows etc. Now it's not unusal to have service personnel in uniform selling them. Last year out of the blue two soldiers in full guards uniform turned up at my office to sell them to people at their desks, I was in a pub one night and a sailor came up to me in uniform trying to sell me one, he looked pretty offended when I said no. The media has turned this into a political football, people who don't wear poppies on TV are named and shamed so now anyone who appears on a BBC programme between late October and mid November has to wear a poppy to avoid being lambasted by the press. Ken Clarke appeared in parliament last week without a poppy and the press was ready to have a go at him, he was forced to issue a statment saying he had one but it fell off, so basically he had to defend himself for not wearing a piece of paper on his jacket. Football clubs have started wearing special shirts with poppies embroidered into them to show that they all remember and care and are grateful for the sacrifice etc. Even players who have no idea what it means wear these shirts through no choice of their own. You have Argentinian players (to take one example) some of whom will have family/friends who fought the British 30 or so years ago forced to wear a symbol supporting the British army who fought against them. It's a joke. There have been international matches around this time of year for years, England never asked to have a poppy on their shirts for them, 10 years ago they played Sweden on the Saturday before rememberence Sunday and they didn't wear a poppy and nobody cared. But now they feel like they have to? The PM thinks that not allowing them to is a disgrace? The royal family get involved? Not political? Ask me bollix. Did the soldiers who fought and died against the nazis do it so that people would be forced to wear symbols on their shirts? Or did they do it to stop people from being forced to wear symbols? I have no problem with people wearing them, I have no problem with the British Legion raising money selling them, I have no problem with the British nation taking some time out to remember their dead, but I have a massive problem with how it is being turned into some sort of loyalty test, and how people now feel like they have to wear one, and how those in the public eye end up being forced to wear it or explain themselves. The whole episode has been a manufactured sh*t storm, I don't know if the FA were deliberately trying to stir it up, I doubt it, but somebody was trying to stir some sh*t and they succeeded, and FIFA made a massive mistake. Now the door is open for any country to decide that they want to wear special symbols on armbands during matches. |

Every year same story. England shouldnt be allowed wear them if its a FIFA rule. You cant go bending rules just for england. Anyone else can do what they f**king like with the yokes. Wouldnt wear one myself but think the whole hulabaloo about them every year is a bore. nobody should be forced to wear them or not wear them unless there has been a prior rule against them such as the FIFA rule. ------------- Galway Will Win The 2014 Hurling Championship |

| Have no problem with people wearing them as long as they don't moan about people wearing the Lilly at Easter. A thing I would have a problem with is the way the British say that they entered this war and the second world war for freedom which is clearly false considering they only wanted to ensure that there was no danger to their empire. |

Remember that plenty Irish died in the war. My own grandfather was in the RAF and I would gladly wear a poppy to commemorate him and his friends who died. My grandfather was lucky and lived through the war if he was still with us he'd be furious at the situation regarding poppies now. ------------- YBIG NPF founder and CEO |

Really. Its simple enough to me. If they let England wear the poppies then a precedent will be there and the flood gates will open and every country will want to have somthing on their shirts to commemorate. It would bring in a host of political sensitivities between countrys, which are best kept out of football.

If we wanted to wear an Easter Lily in 2016 if we had a match (Highly Hypothetical event I know) to commemorate those who died for Irish Independence FIFA would have to allow us as a result of allowing England wear the poppy.

Have to agree with Landon. What about the anthems? In itself they are political and many include references to wars that they have won/lost against other nations. This could be very offensive to the nations they were at war with. While I don't think anthems are as 'in your face' (languages often mask them) as a symbol on a jersey, it brings up the same arguments. What I'm wondering is if anyone has bothered to ask the English players if they even wanted to display the poppy on their shirt? I doubt it. What I like about the poppy appeal is the way people used to choose to wear it and show support. These days that's gone and it's seen as almost sacrilege if you don't wear one. Living in England, I often get comments about why I'm not wearing one. I find that shocking. Even disregarding the fact that I'm Irish, for someone to come up to you and ask why you're not supporting what they support is f**king ridiculous.
