As readers of this site will no doubt be aware, I'm not a fan of FIFA.
The governing body for world football has now decreed that the England team should not have the Remembrance Day poppy symbol on their shirts as it is against the rules. Ah well, rules is rules I suppose.
However, while driving back from Bristol City on Saturday, one of the more intelligent callers suggested that the England players wear poppy armbands and why not?
Sticking a poppy on the shirt now will just cause confrontation (ironic given that the message of the poppy symbol is remembrance so that we avoid confrontation), but if there are no rules stopping the players wearing armbands, then why not?
I've set up this blog (Monday-Friday) to give extra coverage to teams I cover for the national press. Any views and opinions are all my own. Best wishes, Jeff. Follow me on Twitter and I'll update you each time I blog. http://twitter.com/JeffTaplin P.S. During the summer break I reserve the right to ramble on about anything and everything!
