But we would not be doing for the benefit of the country would we? Its a personal choice if you want to remeber the hero's past and present.
I think its disgusting and as Kurt said, i wish/hope the FA would show some balls and stand up for what 99% of the country believe is the right thing to do.
Its not about spreading a messege, its remembrance of the fallen.
There is a 2minute silence at the beginning of the game to remember the fallen soldiers. Poppies will be stitched on the training shirts too.
Again, we havn't done this in the past have we? so why the uproar now?
Just because we havnt done it in the past doesnt mean we cant start now. Maybe we should have done it in the past?
The German FA have already said the are backing us and it would never cause an issue, is my understanding.
FIFA are saying they dont allow political messages to be portrayed during a match. Utter horseshit!

Not sure if this belongs in here or 'Other Football'.
Anyway, im sure most of you know about the debate raging on at the moment with FIFA blocking Englands attempts to have poppies embroidered onto their England shirts for Saturday nights friendly with Spain.
Just wondered what everyones view on this was and wearing poppies in general. Do you wear a poppy around the time of Remembrance Day? Do you see it as a political statement as FIFA are claiming?
Personally, i think FIFA are bang out of line, and this is just another attempt to show their dislike towards England.
I saw you pop on last night. I looked at my friends list and i had 14 friends on line and was going to jump into a game with one of you lot...i was the only **** playing Battlefield 3, everyone else was smashing this to shit!!!
Yeah im on there mate...

Also figured out that i can switch to single shot when using a rifle for long range kills...sweet!
Another question, can you only use certain rifles on certain maps? Eg. in assualt class, so far ive got the M16 & AK-74, but when i go to set my class before a game, it only offers me 1 of those rifles and 2 shotguns?
Whats this Elite thing everyone is talking about? Is it something you download after you've brought the game or is it a version of the game you buy? Also whats the hardened edition, intel pack & prestige edition?

Another couple of hours last night. Took and used a bit of advice from everyone last night. Became a sneaky little Russian like Ash said and (i cant believe im going to say this but i think its justified) pwned a shite load of objectives while playing Conquest like Lapal_fan advised.
I was only getting between 6 & 8 kills per round, but becuase i was focussing on objectives/healing/reviving my pals, i was finishing the round in the top 3 or 4 most times with anywhere between 2000 and 3000 points.
I was in a random squad and we were playing Grand Bazzar and the enemy wedged themselves into a side room just off the main alley. So all i did was pick off the odd enemy and just threw down med packs and defibbed people when they died as we tried to get to them.
No mate, but ive always been intrigued by the whole start with nothing and work you way up thing, sort of like Final Fantasy. The only issue i think i will have is not plaughing enough hours into it, what with the missus and little dude. I do like the sound of it and think i would probably enjoy it.
