Jamaldo Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Looks like Wales are showing how to react with dignity without risking any punishment from FIFA.http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37941608 "The FAW (Football Association of Wales) naturally wishes to respect and honour those who fought and lost their lives fighting for their country," said Jonathan Ford, the chief executive of the FAW. "We felt unable to take the risk of a financial penalty or point deduction, however, as we always have done at this time of year, we will be paying our respects in other ways." A simple "we don't agree with the decision" and doing an alternative instead. Was that really so hard? Of course, what they do will still likely be overblown. They're doing a "poppy mosaic" apparently.Kick them out the qualifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulloch Gorum Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 This respectful, dignified, British, poppy-branded plastic carrier for dug shites is magnificent. Now you can remember those slain in war and clean up dug shite at the same time. Insert your own joke about Scotland's centre backs or Strachan's tactics here.

vikingTON Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 The only credible punishment for this blatant breach of FIFA rules (which the Welsh checked, got knocked back and rightly heeded) is to deduct both sides three points. Otherwise, what was the purpose in Wales complying with the rules? Let the evening's match determine who loses out the most from their shameless insertion of politics into football.

Hopefully we score a last second winner....then get docked points for wearing a flower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulloch Gorum Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I knew of, though didn't know personally, a girl called Poppy Rimington-Pounder. Certainly never forgot that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I watched the game in the boozer, and during the minute's silence before the game, everyone in the boozer was silent. Was a bit weird TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I'm quite keen for Fifa to take a stand here and kick us both out the World Cup to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 FIFA reported to have widened the disciplinary case to include the display of poppies on the stadium scoreboards; the distribution of poppy t-shirts among the crowd; the holding of a minute's silence; and the playing of the Last Post. Booing during the anthems and throwing of bottles onto the pitch also under scrutiny.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38024262 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Good, throw the book at them, they were expressly told very clearly by fifa whose tournament they were playing in poppies weren't allowed, they went and did it anyway, how fuckin arrogant can you Be? Would it be okay for Germany and Japan to commemorate their war dead in games against Us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFA told them they couldn't, they did it anyway. Really have no reason to complain, even though the tabloids are going to have a fucking field day over this.

RadgerTheBadger Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 I can't believe there's folk on that Tartan Army Facebook page wanting to set up a crowd fund to pay for any fineWTF is going on with our support. No wonder the SFA & SSC think they can just bend us over and ride us up the jeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Jag Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I hope the SFA are absolutely hammered by FIFA for this blatant disregard for the rules. The SFA meekly bending over and doing as their masters in London tell them to is almost as embarrassing as our shambolic excuse for a national team.

Fullerene Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 By way of punishment, FIFA have declared the result of the match null and void and insisted that we play it again. Okay, not very likely - but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 By way of punishment, FIFA have declared the result of the match null and void and insisted that we play it again. Okay, not very likely - but you never know. Why the f**k would we want to play it again? Are you mental. Let's just take the 3 nil defeat, canna be bothered watching Darren Fletcher play hide n seek and our defence being as useful as a sieve again.
