    This was and that was my mistake. But as for the one on the taig shirts you mentioned, is there any reason you know of that they were not punished when the four home nations were? They are all in uefa control. 

    Don't know mate , first Ive heard of it, but had a quick google...

    It was a friendly they played 7 months ago, and it's been highlighted only AFTER the poppy carry on with the home nations.

    FIFA are retrospectively investigating it, so they might well still get fined?

    In the same week they fine the football associations from the 4 home nations for displaying the poppy on their shirts and in the stands but let the tarrier national team away with the Easter rising thing on their shirts. You couldn't make it up. 

    And that's the problem EUFA/FIFA have, if you allow teams to wear symbols, then you need to allow every team to wear similar.

    The ROI wear a white flower to commemorate their war dead , and dozens of Countries around the world have similar.

    if we were playing the ROI this week and they wore their 'poppy' would we be ok with that
