Welsh FA charged for supporters wearing poppies in the stands.

The Northern Irish F.A. also under investigation by FIFA now.
Wow !!! I've always said Icelandics are a bunch of cv**s and that report proves it - maybe they should move UEFA there.

According to the rule-making International Football Association Board (IFAB), players cannot wear "political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images".
That probably means every club in England that had a poppy as part of its shirt will be fined.

Well, that's a relief then, we can just get knocked out in the final 16 as usual. As for FIFA, is there words to describe them?

No, because FIFA apply these rules only to matches immediately governed by them; internationals and World Cup qualifiers.

I'd pull out of FIFA and try to start a new world cup with some other disenfranchised countries. I reckon if we took a stand a few other would follow. Australia, USA and a few of the Europeans are fed up with them. And if you could get decent sponsorship on board a few others would follow the money.
We might even win it!!! ....sorry getting carried away. Do agree with pulling out though. I mean they have the world series in the states with hardly any of the world involved so could be?

I feel we should start a campaign with all football fans sending postcards to FIFA but what would we say apart from Fuxk off.
I do feel that FIFA have got this wrong.
Or should we just ignore them.

It's a real hard thing to do, to break away from this mafia gang, but someone has to make a stance. An FA as big as our own would surely be a house of cards?
