Welsh fa.
My and I are watching the Memorial Service at The Albert Hall on the TV and it shows what the Poppy really means. No matter what the Welsh FA say they should not have banned the Welsh Football Team from wearing the Poppy when they played Serbia yesterday, we are both born and bread in Wales but are disgusted with their decision.

Re: Welsh fa.
John if nothing would've been said about it and the Welsh team had've worn it I don't suppose anybody in Serbia would've known what it was and what it was all about.
Regards.

NOT EVEN GOING SAY MUCH: Friday and Sunday were Remembrance days.
Wales was fully involved.
I have no interest in Soccer. Today was for me MN. In sport had Wales not had poppies and played Friday or what is now today, I would be more concerned.
Already been asked and have to answer:
Wales v Argies..no poppy on the Welsh Shirt. ..do they not remember The Sir Galahad and all the Welsh Guards on board. ..including Simon Westerman. ...F....ng Disgrace Welsh Rugby.
Making no excuses, I do not need to. Saturday attended the Wales MN Service, Cardiff.
Personally, enjoyed the day then it was rugby time.
Any answers from sport will come, back to remembrance for me in the morning.
More concerned about: Shed light on our seafarers this Remembrance Day - Shipwrecked Mariners' Society
PS. WALES REMEMBERS: Watch the moment Wales unveiled their spectacular tribute to the fallen despite poppy ban - Wales Online
