Incredible article on the bbc about guardiola wearing the yellow ribbon
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43276381


Quoting limited to 3 levels deepwe don't want political symbols in football", FA chief executive Martin Glenn has said.ì

You can't have and we don't want football equipment to display political symbols," said Glenn.

Glenn was speaking at the International Football Association Board (Ifab) meeting in Zurich, where the use of video assistant referees was approved.

"To be very clear, his yellow ribbon is a political symbol, it's a symbol of Catalan independence," added Glenn.

"I can tell you there are many more Spaniards, non-Catalans, who are upset by it.

"We have rewritten the laws of the game so that things like a poppy are OK but things that are going to be highly divisive, and that could be strong religious symbols, these are the things we don't want.
Feck you ya winker let the people sing :clap:


Not you RT :)
When did the poppy start to become such a thing???

It really is getting out of hand :angry:

...and people took to the streets in their hundreds of thousands to protest. I believe the government feared such protests would lead to a wider disdain towards and rejection of militarism, so they went full jingo. Poppy madness, Help For Heroes and all that bollocks sprung forth, next thing you know there's a surge of right wing, British/English Nationalist sentiment sweeping the country. Dunkirk Spirit, Our Lads, blah blah blah. The Great British Public likes nothing more than jingoistic nationalism, the effing arseholes...

The broad point about politics is right if that's what their rule is - shame it's undermined by rewriting the rules to conclude that the poppy couldn't possibly be politically contentious.

What a strange and snide wee comment. He got capped once and it was actually about 20 years ago, and he spent most of his career playing in the EPL before he won two titles here. There’s been much worse.

If Pep was managing in Spain, I could understand why the authorities there would be unhappy. But why on Earth do the FA give an eff?

For what it's worth, I don't believe Martin Glenn is anti-Semitic; he is, however, a complete and utter bell-end.

My issue is with the total hypocrisy of his statement.

“We don’t want divisive symbols in our game” - except the Poppy, we’ve written that into the rules.

Just ignore the Germans or the Irish that are forced to wear a poppy then or the fact that one player in particular gets it tight from all and sundry up and down the country because of this non political symbol. ;)

Hard to know where to start with the nonsense dripping out of that article. I think it safe to say that Mourinho does not think McTominay is better than Pogba. It's also extremely premature to anoint this player as the cornerstone of our national team in the future after a handful of games.

from that Jackson article on McLeish

Quote:
 
He was able to use his experience and his extensive contact book to speak directly with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho and set up a face-to-face with the 21-year-old at the club’s Carrington HQ.


this is the sort of bollocks that really grinds my gears. Oh look, big Eck has Jose's phone no! That proves he's the right man for the job. It's right up there with Warburton's Rolodex and the private jet. shampooe that's used to pad out a piece of crap writing

as for that dig at Paul Telfer - just plain odd to have picked his name out when there are dozens more useless footballers who got more than one cap for Scotland in the last decade alone
