It's not a celebration of the British army, it's a remmberance of those who died for the country. |

A lot of ignorance being shown here chaps. Armistace Day is not a celebration of any kind; it's a day of remembrance to all those that have died in the service of their country. That goes for Germans, Argentinians and yes, the Irish from both sides of the border. Even if those countries don't use the day as formal remembrance (although the Irish do), it goes for all 'sides'.
Shame on you Pele, for spouting your politics in the same sentence as remembrance. Edited by The Plastic Flag, Nov 7 2011, 06:42 PM.

Shelbourne and Sligo Rovers wore these on their suits arriving at the Aviva Stadium yesterday. It's the ignorant Irish that have a problem with this, It's not celebrating the British Army. It's remembering the lives of all soliders who have lost their life fighting for their country, Including many Irish. |

Apologies so, it still does seem that a memorial to armed forces should be kept away from football at an international level be it any nation imo |

Of course I do, it is meant to emphasise my point of how inappropriate that line of comment is, in a discussion of remembrance. Remembrance is Apolitical and respects all servicemen and citizens of all countries who have given their lives. To be frank, I'm astonished at the level of ignorance on the subject. A sad reflection of society. Edited by The Plastic Flag, Nov 7 2011, 06:40 PM.

i'll sit on the fence for this one. I can see where lampard is coming from and its good he's fighting for what he believes in. I think a lot of people will be backing him up and he's setting a good example being a role model and what not. At the same time, i also think he's getting a bit carried away taking this this far. There's lots of ways to show your support for remembrance day other than wearing a poppy. Donate money, wear a poppy underneath your strip, draw one on your boots with crayon, wear one on your training kit etc etc. its not like people are going to think he doesnt do his bit or support the cause just because he doesnt have a flower ironed onto his kit. theres not really a need for a song and dance about it. if i was him i'd say in an interview or release a statement saying i dont agree with it and i feel they should overturn the rule and leave it at that. |

Retracted with apologies. Perhaps you might consider doing the same? |
