Following pressure from our Prime Minister and Prince William Fifa have now graciously agreed that our footballers can wear poppies incorporated into black armbands at Saturday’s game. A fair compromise you may think. Well, it’s not, this is our country and we honour our wartime dead in the manner we think is appropriate. It has got nothing to do with anybody else and we shouldn’t have budged an inch. No poppy no game. Contrast the Four Nation Rugby League Tournament taking place at the weekend, all four nations, England, Wales, Australia and New Zealand will be wearing poppies on their shirts. Good on them. This was a poor decision by the English FA and a needless compromise.
