Just wear it and pay the fine afterwards - then embarrass FIFA into paying the fine to the RBL

FIFA have allowed black arm bands with poppies on them. Just reported on 5LIVE.

Looks like the heartfelt letter from the president of the FA did the trick!

can we merge this with the "what have the royal family ever done for us" thread now... or should we give the credit to the EDL

They've presumably kicked up a fuss about this, in an attempt to deflect attention from the fact that our captain for the night is likely to be an "almost" confirmed racist.

And as we're always banging on about racism in other countries we'll look rather stupid.

So what happens now, when Israel wants to wear some symbol to remember their dead who died defending peace in the middle east?

FIFA should have stuck to their rules.
