While I think the FIFA agreement is a decent compromise, I'm tending to agree with you. As a matter of interest wearing a poppy on a shirt is only a recent innovation, I'm sure it's not more than 5 years. And we must have played Internationals around Remembrance Day in the past, and then a minutes silence has sufficed as has been the case in the Football League for many years.
On that point, David Davies (ex-FA) was on the Beeb the other day and he referred to a game we played against Argentina in 2003 the day before Remembrance Sunday. No poppies required then.
