But of course the flip side of that is it democratic if it is not supported by the central govornment and the rest of the Spain has not voted in the referendum or voiced a vote through the democratic process for the referendum to be held

Yes. Of course it is.

Were the English polled on whether the Scots could vote? Did the English get a vote in the actual referendum?

Self determination is a key tenet of democracy. Ask the Falkland Islanders.

Dig out the yellow bananas at Wembley it'll annoy the fa!

2 crossed bananas would pretty much look like a yellow ribbon :)

Has he worn it in champions league games ? If so why aren’t UEFA arsed...

 

[The perfect fumble]

Ask the Falkland Islanders.

I remember. You got quite carried away supporting them....

Utterly pointless action by the FA. They are beyond stupid.

It’s about on a par with UEFA’s charge for us booing their stupid theme tune (I refuse to call it an ‘anthem’). But the timing is ridiculous, just 48 hours before a Wembley cup final. If you wanted to draw maximum attention to the cause then there couldn’t be a better time to do it.

Puerile gesture, condescending to Pep & the purpose.

In your opinion.

I'm all for removing political statements from football.

But that includes the poppy. You can't have it both ways.

Personally, I think Pep would be better suited with putting a City badge on and make a statement that he's part of our club and leave his politics outside of the ground, but I know plenty could care less.

As many fans wearing yellow ribbons tomorrow would show solidarity, we don’t get pushed around like this ! When they told us we couldn’t boo UEFA, we just got louder ! This should be the same. If Pep can’t wear the ribbon then we should wear it for him.

thinking about it today,he is paid by us to do a job that includes being on the touchline for games,how far does this go when it's a conflict of interest,everyone knows he is the jailed catalans highest profile supporter and that won't change,when does he put his job first? i'm still up for fans wearing as much yellow tomorrow as possible and for the rest of the season in his place if needed,just musing,whatever sticks it to the fa is fine by me but i support city firstly
