Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted November 8, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 Why should FIFA fucking care about the poppy? It's their regulations, and for the old "they did it for us" argument to be trotted out again is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Previously, I was all for the poppy. Most years I'd even be one of the few who'd bother to wear one. Â Now though, I am against the poppy. It is a political symbol and I fucking hate it. I've woken up. Â Â I do not respect the armed forces and the people who serve within it. Â I do not support our troops and I do not support any of their crusades. Â They choose to join a group that kills people. So fuck them. Â I feel for all those 'scripted in the World Wars. They deserve rememberance. They have this already though so fuck the poppy. Â If you feel differently than me, ok. Look forward to WW3 next year.

Kiffy Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I guess it must be easier to cope with life if everything fits into neat little good guys and bad guys right and wrong box's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted November 9, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 The Poppy on shirts thing is doing my fucking head in. What an over-reaction. Remembrance isn't about a poppy on an England shirt. The minute you stand before the game and think about what these people gave up is far more important. Â Heard someone refer to it as a "tradition" this morning, referring to English clubs. In 2009, only 12 PL clubs wore a "poppy kit" by choice. 6 more reacted to the aggro and Liverpool and Man U didn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
