// Fifa have rejected a Government request that England and Wales be allowed to wear commemorative poppies in this weekend's friendlies, claiming the move would "jeopardise the neutrality of football." //

Not sure how this is any different than a team wearing black armbands or having a minutes silence before a match. Would it be disrespectful to England's guests to just ignore FIFA and pay any fine that might be imposed?

Jake, don't be so damned rude! Like it or not, if it wasn't for the human beings - ordinary human beings Jake - who gave their lives for the freedom of this country, you and the people who think like you wouldn't be at liberty to spout your destructive and offensive bile! Remember that - and have the courtesy to think on it!
My problem is with people telling me what to think and do
When we start down the road of "I think everyoine should..."
I'm sorry but not everone is a big fan of the military
We don't have conscription nobody forced these people to join up and they didn't go out there to build wells they went out there to someone elses country thousands of miles away to kill people.
You may not like this point of view especially if you've military familly but it needs to be said

Jake, //My problem is with people telling me what to think and do //
No one is telling you what to think and do - they are simply giving their opinions, as you clearly have no hesitation in doing whether or not it offends. Poppy fascists, house arrest and China!! Millions of people have lost their lives and that's your response? Jake, if there's one thing you are it is stupidly and arrogantly insensitive.

As England made the mistake of asking FIFA, they should follow its decisions, otherwise, what was the purpose in asking permission? There will be members of the armed forces at the game and there will be a minute's silence. Will ninety minutes without a poppy on their jerseys be such an insult to those who fell in battle?
