Oh get down from that high horse before you fall.................so it's all the fault of the press is it? I haven't heard that one before:roll:!
You see nothing wrong with a low number of men having control over much of the information that reaches the people? The Press have a narrative and are more than happy to twist and censor to ensure they reach their pre-determined conclusion. In this case the narrative is that FIFA are bullying the home nations (despite giving each of them more representation than other nations).
The game is being played on 11/11
Then have a minute's silence before kick off, a giant poppy on the centre circle, a collection outside Wembley. This can, and has, been done but suddenly wearing a poppy on the shirt itself is the be all and end all issue (again, not that the Press
are not mentioning this)
A blanket ban is the most workable situation and to do anything else is just opening the floodgates to political and religious symbols and I can see the case for defining them as such. Recall that the poppy is also used as a symbol for those taking place in the war of aggression in Iraq. Methinks this should be a new topic though

Meanwhile on the pitch we see that Celtic are 7 points ahead (will be 10 if they beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle) of Aberdeen with 2 games in hand. What can be done about the SPL when it's all but over by bonfire night?
Also Villa are drawing but does that surprise anyone?
