Sheer stupidity?

Well things are getting really silly.  Despite accepting the idea back in 2011, FIFA are considering punishing England and Scotland for their teams wearing armbands with remembrance poppies on in their recent World Cup qualifying match (see post dated 2nd November).  But that is as nothing compared to their decision to open disciplinary proceedings against the Irish and Welsh football associations in respect of poppies being worn at their recent international matches by - it's scarcely credible - the fans in the stands!!  I don't know what to say, apart from - can they really be serious?
