According to the rule-making International Football Association Board (IFAB), players cannot wear "political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images".

That probably means every club in England that had a poppy as part of its shirt will be fined.

No, because FIFA apply these rules only to matches immediately governed by them; internationals and World Cup qualifiers.

I'd pull out of FIFA and try to start a new world cup with some other disenfranchised countries. I reckon if we took a stand a few other would follow. Australia, USA and a few of the Europeans are fed up with them. And if you could get decent sponsorship on board a few others would follow the money.

We might even win it!!! ....sorry getting carried away. Do agree with pulling out though. I mean they have the world series in the states with hardly any of the world involved so could be?

I feel we should start a campaign with all football fans sending postcards to FIFA but what would we say apart from Fuxk off.
I do feel that FIFA have got this wrong.
Or should we just ignore them.

It's a real hard thing to do, to break away from this mafia gang, but someone has to make a stance. An FA as big as our own would surely be a house of cards?
