StevieDay1983 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Interested to hear the views of those of you that live outside the UK about this. FIFA have decided to fine the English, Scottish, Northern Irish, and Welsh FA's a total of £80k for wearing or displaying poppies at the last round of international matches which coincided with the Armistice Day weekend. Now, in the UK, the poppy is seen as a mark of respect to all those that have lost their lives in conflict across the globe. I should add it's not necessarily restricted to just British casualties so it is very hard to argue that it's a political statement. Do you guys outside the UK feel it's a fair fine or are FIFA being a bit needless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
